Oh, and to discuss the Trium's "Fall in Power"...

I've become less active due to a number of other obligations, including my site and schoolwork. I do actively browse these forums and, Turin, I hope you'll find I have fewer "nonsense" posts... ;)

That aside, I've taken a less direct approach of "post any time there's a response", primarily because I feel that with slightly less involvement, the community has grown beyond just a few major posters with some side commentary. We now have a consistantly larger base of regular posters, and that's a good thing-- no three posters dominate the majority of the forums.

As for the Trium and myself falling? I say for the last time: The Triumvirate was never about post count, though we surely had a dominance in that field. It was about three unique individuals who disagreed more often than not and, in my conceited opinion, helped shape these boards to become what they are (and aren't) today. I would also like to point out that I'm the only member of the Trium that doesn't have one of the top 5 post counts.

Just my thoughts.

ElDo, you are still my hero, and I must say that it is my jealousy that tivated me to attempt to usurp your place.  However, being unable to remove you, I will continue to recognize your presence as a blessing upon these boards.  I'm just happy to have become as recognizable as you on these forms.  Hopefully, we can all remain famous.

I am not sure I can agree with that! ;)

I disagree!  We agree most of the time!

It's just the matter of faith in the basic nature of humanity where we have strong disagreements.

And Moorecock, I guess.

But just those things!

Actually, that was a very subtle shout-out to any of the newcomers who might happen to play Ars Magica. ;)

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Heya, Meepo. Isaac is serving complimentary coconut drinks with the little paper umbrellas on the promenade. Igor will take your coat, though you might want to have your papers in order before doing so.

Hello, All.  And since I'm being told to go to the rogue's gallery now, I guess I'll be off to whereever that may be.

Oh, and welcome to those that follow.
