SBLOCKS!  If possible.  It was my favorite feature on the WotC board.

Otherwise, lovely little place you have here  :clap

This has probably been mentioned, but . . .

. . . any thoughts of spawning a lil' PbP forum-action?

'Cuz you know we like to TALK about it, but that's always secondary to DOING it.   :smirk

+1. I'd love to run a game and/or play in one. Knowing how many CO regs jumped over here in the past 24 hours, it'd be good experience to run one ;)

Meg, are you going to give any of these new guys moderator status? You wouldn't want to be under-manned. :wink
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Ahhhh!!  It's all aploding! 

I'm going to make a Help Wanted thread right now.
All of my updates are on twitter! 

This is my angry voice.  Text written in red, by me, is  an official moderator "suggestion"

Well, I'm all for helping, but one hour after "I'm going to make a Help Wanted thread right now." and still no thread? Sloppy :pout

Ditto. From now on most of the work I do is done via computer anyway, so I am going to spend exceptional amounts of time online.

Indeed, I would like to also apply once the thread is up. I tend to have a high amount of availability (which I assume will only increase in a month when school ends for the summer) and can devote a good deal of my time to helping members of the community by stickying threads, creating sub-forums (as it looks like Min/Max already needs a few), and whatever else the community would benefit from.

I'd also like to +1 on the sblocks.

I've got ToB for Dummies all ready to be pasted over here, but if I have to go through it changing syntax it becomes a lot more work ;)

Lower right corner should be previous/next page in this thread, not previous/next thread on the board. Makes me feel weird when I expect to see the next page in a thread I am reading and instead wander into something completely different.

Edit: Also, maybe make the 'new' text to look at new posts in a particular thread a different color. Otherwise I get mistaken into thinking that the topic is actually The Latest Way to maximize something New.

Can I also ask for a Quick Reply box please.  It makes piffy one-liners so much easier.

There is a quick reply box. Turn it on in your options.
[Spoiler]
A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Out of the above suggestions, the only one I can find to control is the prev-next.  I could shut that off entirely. 

Josh already posted about the s-block and I can't find anything to change the "new" either. 

This is where someone with web experience may come in handy  :flirt
