Well, 1st: I have nothing against the DF community.
That said, there is this exodus from the site that has happened recently.
Something about bad moderation, and, the general tone of the forums.
With regards to my own forum ban: I will be the first to tell you that it was "Nobody's Fault But Mine", exactly like the Led Zeppelin song.
I take issue with the claim that DF is the home of 1e on the net. I actually think that it is the 1eo site, which is more true to the spirit of the game.
I totally think that 'family-friendly' is a great concept, but, that said: it is a concept that is not representative of certain aspects of the 1st edition of the game.
To be totally clear, despite the presence of red dragons, knights, books, and Cthulhu, Presposia never has, and, never will be the home of 1st Ed. on the net.
It's it's own thing, inclusive of all games. Of course, the General Board gives the site a bad reputation, and, I am totally fine with that.
Getting back to Dragonsfoot, I hope that it does not die.
The chat-rooms are great, there are a lot of good folk there, and, a lot of resources for gamers.
If you haven't been there, I would recommend giving it a chance: sign up and explore.
(Just learn from my mistakes: don't post MINISTRY or real-world religion or politics, and, you should be fine).
Anyway, here's the big question: what is the home of 1st Edition on the internet?
Wondering,
Prespos
Ps.
Here is an inspirational picture of Gary, during his time of exile.
