Mostly I loved you all because you were silly and real in a way you rarely see on the internet anymore.
I was around before there *was* an Off-Topic board for Baldur's Gate (1999). It was a less-than-wonderful time in my life. Playing with you all -- and tormenting the more entertainingly dumb folk who wandered in -- was often the best part of my days. Politics at the start, but then WWOT (especially when we migrated to Missy's). When things in my life got brighter, i just expanded my influence.
