In Response to GttngBrd (#25737):
If you'd like to share your enthusiasm for a certain game, or any other topic not related to web-comics or self-promotion, that's great. But please use the Ring Of Fire area of the forums for those discussions. They are generally considered to be "off-topic" over here.
If you don't have enough karma (five points) to start a new topic, then you will need to participate in some of the other discussions for a little while. Then you might earn enough up-mods to be able to create a new thread freely. Of course, it's not uncommon for people to hijack an existing thread into a new direction which isn't closely related; but that tactic might result in negative feedback, or it might simply be ignored.
You did take the time to register, GttngBrd, and that's a good sign. It means you can expect more responses and consideration from the other members here, unlike those Anymous Cowards who choose to remain Lonely Goatherds. They tend to receive only ridicule, for the most part. It's just the way things tend to work around here. Popular norms, et cetera, et cetera...
