Alright, being around here for a bit, I assume that this type of thread has been posted before. But I have been gone a few months due to circumstance.
Those of you that know me also know I don't give a ;(
But I do want to know what people think about this place.
Personally, I think the interface is greatly improved, but I also think that the look and feel of the place is gone. And I dug it how it was.
The guys that designed this layout can easily enough change the look back to the what it was. They are using style sheets, so, unless they are completely against it, they can at least give us something of the normmalcy we had.
I guess, I simply have to ask: Is it just me?
I liked it at first because it was new and shiny, but the newness is wearing off. Alot of people want to go back to the gleemax look, but if they changed it then people would be complaining that they changed it again. What they need to do is give us the option to set it up how we want. Let us decide for ourselves if we want a white background or green or perrywinkle, or what ever.
I agree completely, my man--which is why I went to check on the fact before I posted.
I may have missed something, but there is no options for "skins" in this place.
This place is too white for me. Give me fake parchment.
I am completely with LK on this one.
A parchment look would be great! Thats one of the things i loved about 1e Realms sourcebooks. I wish they had kept that up.
The parchment style is smth like roleplay for fantasy forum I think. =))
Sort of why gleemax made it that way--and why we liked it. Can we do a vote on this--will people back it?
dont care for the looks of the place, to much an eye sore. needs some more color and more smileys
Lol! Welcome back doo-doo...
It's kinda grown on me, but I could care less anyways.
I would like some more smilies.

Hate it myself. Give me the old Parchment and Leather any day... this stuff tends to hurt my eyes after a while.
It's too bland for me.
I'm still here! Though I really don't know why. I don't like the new forums.
thats good becuase let me tell you, you leave and the Fey Jester wont be happy
Again!
Smited!
JD laughs at your smiting... in fact, he'll meet you behind the forums today after lunch to settle the issue mano-a-swine. 
Again!
Smited!
that all youve got?
I'm still here! Though I really don't know why. I don't like the new forums.
So...when will you rebuild your sig?
JD laughs at your smiting... in fact, he'll meet you behind the forums today after lunch to settle the issue mano-a-swine.
Laughing at him would be too painful. I'll just scowl, and hope that he didn't smite my tutrle, Spunky. He would find "smited" to be in a whole new light then. 
Though, I might know what he was actually talking about if these ORCS WOULD STOP STRIPPING POSTS FOR NO REASON. 
(sigh)
Look, Orc-type-people. Just because there are a few bad apples around here (certainly not me), doesn't mean we are all instigating and trying to fight with each other. Just 'cause I call Stigger a turd one day, doesn't mean I am trying to make him mad. No! It simply means I am telling him that he happens to stink at the moment and he needs a shower. It's all about love and caring, my good people!
I personally think all us posters and you ORCS need to sit down and have a few good rounds of group therepy. I believe that once all of us get to know each other and understand our tendencies, then everything will be alright. Okey-Dokey, so to say.
So what say you, ORCS! Ready to communicate?! 
Those masochistic tendencies are showing again JD...
I don't like. I might be prejudiced in that I have not gone 4E and instead am in Golarion and Pathfinder. I was pretty much done with this place when they blew up FR so......
I'm lost somewhere in the middle in that I *have* gone 4e but wouldn't touch the 4e Realms with a twelve-foot pole.
And these forums still suck.
I like the idea of Golarion/Pathfinder... I just hate their execution. Much the same with 4e really. Except for the 4e Realms, those are just plain crap to me, regardless of what ruleset they might use.
I'm lost somewhere in the middle in that I *have* gone 4e but wouldn't touch the 4e Realms with a twelve-foot pole.
I'm in the gray void in which I've gone 4E and 4E FR, but incorporated only the basic 4E FR set-up (1479 DR) and certain changes, while ignoring the vast majority of alterations and dumping all of the past lore I wanted to remain relevant (which was most of it) into 1479 DR.
Those masochistic tendencies are showing again JD...
True...so...true...
I dont think the forums suck that bad. The main thing is the people, and i think theres a good group here and we ussually bring up some good conversions. It would be nice if we could change the white background to some parchment or something though.
And Am I the only one using 4e rules with 4e Realms?

I dunno. Nai managing to convert Delta to that fiendish fey he worships isn't a "good" conversion.
Ha! Good Point!
I meant Conversations. I usually proof read before i send off a post, but i was too eager to join in the conversion i guess.

A part of me wonders if this was intentional. The rest of me is just grinning like a 4E FR designer assigned to Halruaa.
Yes totally intentional that time.
and Im still bummed over 4e Halruaa
me too, I liked Halruaa
now that I can spell it, they go and get rid of it.

Well, it was either total annihilation, or overrun by Sharrans. There were already Sharrans there, and it's not like they would have passed the chance to stick Shar into yet another part of Toril, so it would've gone to hell either way. The designers overran Thesk with Sharrans, they'd do the same to Halruaa. So, in a way, it was a mercy killing (or not).
true, but it was a good vacation spot.....

I know we don't use either 4e rules nor 4e Realms. We're sticking with 3.5.
Put me down as being 4E Rules without being 4E Realms. At the moment my group is playing the core Keep on the Shadowfell and getting our posterior sections handed to us in the process. I've had a single foray into the 4E Realms in the shape of the LFR MOON1-1 (Nature's Wrath) module that was run with intelligence and panache as a single evening one-shot. To say I was underwhelmed by the Realms specific elements of that module would be a phenomenal understatement.
I may go back to the 4E Realms as a game... maybe... in the distant future I can't rule it out.
When some of us did a short-lived 4e campaign, we did Keep on the Shadowfell. Yes. It kicked our butts too.
I do love all the established lore with past editions, but 4e does allow for a bit of freedom. In alot of cases now i can just make stuff up, and theres no brainiac goin you cant do that, theres no ninja lich vampire dragons in this area, it sez so on page 123 of whatever source book.
Oh my life. Those are the opening words to an argument that has been rolling backwards and forewards across these forums definitely since just before the released of 4E (when I joined) and almost certainly for years before that. This is a personal plea from me.
Can we not have it again?
Well i am definitely not trying to start an argument.
But what is the argumentive point? The low lore or rules lawyers?
Im just saying there are plus sides to 4e Realms, and i'll leave it at that.
I'll explain it in a PM.
Im just saying there are plus sides to 4e Realms, and i'll leave it at that.
Yes. Let's leave it there.
Yes. Let's leave it there.
Agreed! I dont want to see things devolve into an edition war. I notice we are all pretty civil in the Realms section. Nai does get riled up from time to time if some one says the wrong thing about elves, but that is to be expected.
Those masochistic tendencies are showing again JD...
If such was the case, then all I would have to do is listen to you, my man.
Alas, I simply hate authority, 'cause it is generally left in the wrong hands.
Somebody get the HINT!!!
I don't like. I might be prejudiced in that I have not gone 4E and instead am in Golarion and Pathfinder. I was pretty much done with this place when they blew up FR so......
Yet, you remain...
Those masochistic tendencies are showing again JD...
True...so...true...
You always were worthless--worshiping everything that walked. How did you like being a Hand of Karsus for so long?
Touch anything strange during that time?
When some of us did a short-lived 4e campaign, we did Keep on the Shadowfell. Yes. It kicked our butts too.
Yeah, that was the consensus when it first came out, as well.
I do love all the established lore with past editions, but 4e does allow for a bit of freedom. In alot of cases now i can just make stuff up, and theres no brainiac goin you cant do that, theres no ninja lich vampire dragons in this area, it sez so on page 123 of whatever source book.
That was the case with all the previous editions, as well. Lets not get into that retarded argument again.
yes lets not, though I would of loved the roll of yearts callender in the 4e book, even without the 100 years of Shar's Caress
That was the case with all the previous editions, as well. Lets not get into that retarded argument again.
Good Point!
I have already been scolded on that one.
Yes. Let's leave it there.

Ahahahaha... 
I have been gone some time.
Ahahahaha...

What? Was the boards less than civil back in the day?
Dude--did you manage 1000 posts in the 4 months I was gone? The 4e/3e war was still raging hard when I left.

I must of missed that. I did notice some hardcore edition bashing goin on, but not in the Realms section specificaly, ussually over in general discussion, or one of the other forums. Granted im sure theres alot that i missed. And i think ive been on here for 6 months now, I'm not sure. It would actually be alot longer, but they screwed me up when they first switched over to Gleemax, and I had to recreate myself. I didnt do alot of posting back then, just lurked in the shadows. But I finally got back on board about 6 months ago I think. About the same time I switched over to 4e. So I guess im still a noob, as far as the boards go and as far as 4e goes.
he did, just about the same way I did it....

Must not have been around much at that time.

Um...ok...

Anyway, this is sort of the point I made about Karsus. That guy multiquoted everything. Had he worked by the rules here, he would have been well above 50,000.

Without a doubt! Im not real big on post counts myself, I mean really i could just go around posting onliners in every thread like yeah, nope, I agree, you suck, or what ever. Really its all about the content of the posts. I dont ussually chime in unless i think i have somethng to add to the discussion, or if someone has a question ill try to answer it.
Of course now that ive reached the 1000 post milestone I do feel like big man on campus or something,

Yes, I remember that feeling. Question: How long have you been around here, anyway? I nailed 1000 in 3 months here. You seem poised to surpass my rate of post advancement.

I really wouldn't worry about it.
He may have said he was a "lurker", but I am sure he made a few posts here and there.
yes yes welcome again to the club.

1000 posts in 3 months? damn! you got me beat on that one. Ive been here I think 6-7 months and i just now got to 1000 so you have nothing to fear there. Granted I only started posting in the Realms boards like maybe 2 months ago. I was a long time reader, first time poster. I never felt the need to chime in, ussually answers were given pretty quickly, anything i wanted to ask had already been covered, but with alot of the people packin their bags and leavin I found more and more opprtunities to make my voice heard. I actually started on here back before Gleemax, but again i didnt do much posting, I think I had a total of 2 posts back then and it was something like "yeah man I totally agree", so Im not even going to count that.
It does feel good to be in the "club"!
so when are you guys going to show me the secret handshake?

Right after you slay your first Shade. *hehehehe*
Slap skin, shake, slap skin, shake ass, fart, stick finger up your nose, force fart, shake, call yourself "Fruity Tutti."
Now you have it. You are now part of the club.
the secret handshake is a secret, only Lord Karsus can induct people with the secret handshake, and that mind you ins the pristine circle known as the Hands Of Karsus.
SO now only Lord MAnshoon knows the handshake......
Right after you slay your first Shade. *hehehehe*
Damn! Shades arent too bad as long as you have some radiant powers, unfortunatly Ive done used all mine up for the day, It will have to wait till tomorrow.
That doesnt sound too bad, I was afraid i would have to drink toilet water or something.
the secret handshake is a secret, only Lord Karsus can induct people with the secret handshake, and that mind you ins the pristine circle known as the Hands Of Karsus.
SO now only Lord MAnshoon knows the handshake......
Correct. So unless Ody decides to teleport in, Silversword best be taking the fight to Netheril.

Uhm I think ive just joined the wrong club!
And By Selune's light, Netheril will fall at the hands of The_silversword....
here are a couple of knights for your task fellow enemy of Netheril.
edit: on that note you could get LordManshoon to create the Hands of the Triad group here, since he is the senior Helmite.
sfdragon how is it you keep posting but i never see you signed in at the bottum of the screen? Are you in "stealth mode"?
And thanx for the back up man!!!
yes stealth.....
btw the below is where the smileys came from

If you say so, you silly ****.

I think Silversword has the aid of almost everyone here in his quest. If he'd like to use some of the lowest level Zhentarim as cannon fodder in his quest against the blight of Netheril, he knows the drill.
edit: on that note you could get LordManshoon to create the Hands of the Triad group here, since he is the senior Helmite. I'd join
Weren't you the Helmite-in-chief before me? You're certainly more entitled to the lead than I am. That being said, the Hands of the Triad has a nice ring to it. Nai's Arvandor group is pulling its own. Maybe the souls of the House are ready to band together...
well okay, but there is no webpage is that going to matter??
well okay, but there is no webpage is that going to matter??
Can't we just make a group ourselves? Pamela and Nai got their Groups together pretty easily. It's all a matter of this site not ****ing up and throwing the Hands of the Triad to the Abyss.
will i have to learn another secret handshake?
no
Actually, I can build it, people. If everyone is serious about it, let me know--I'll actually spend time doing it.
This seems to be a duplicate thread of another non-FR thread...
