Well, this time last summer I was recovering from major surgery, as I've mentioned elsewhere, and taking advantage of the downtime to clean 30 gigabytes of accumulated junk mail out of my Yahoo! inbox, I discovered some notifications from this board. I followed the links to discover that the board was down.
So once it went up again, I rejoined.
But yeah, a look at my posts show that I've had a lot more to say about free Steam games than the Transformers brand of late. (I've tried to contribute to the Wiki but of late a lot of stuff gets auto-reverted. I don't think that there's any animus, but it happens enough times it dampens one's enthusiasm.)
Anyway, I missed the Botcon fiasco -- there was another one? (I wrote for a local fanzine about the whole "Sentinel Maximus being court-ordered to be shipped to your last known mailing address" business back in 2004....)
