MeTa post: Just out of curiosity - Were you a BBSer? Did you...

Back when Doom 2 was the cutting edge FPS, I was part of a BBS (I don't recall the name.. Black Cat maybe?) out of Oklahoma City. It allowed users to play four player Doom 2 with whatever doom wad you wanted. You could also play all the standard text based games and download various files, Doom related and otherwise. I didn't get out of the house enough for a child of my age.

MeTa post: is there any good way to encourage people to post...

I would probably say the proper response would be to ignore it, and let it work itself out. If it becomes too problematic then I'm sure Matt can handle it fairly well.

On second though, you tie him up, while I go get my baseball bat.

and by saying "on second though" i meant, "on second thought" but that was probably clear enough that this personal correction was uncalled for.

yeah, I suppose that could be a bit of a problem. I guess I'm just use to making webpages that don't really get any traffic. :)
