Just wanted to poke my head out and say that the article contributions have been especially awesome in the last month or so. There's tons of great stuff, often on unusual games.

Thanks! What you are seeing are the effects of changing the site over to Gaming by Michael in the wake of the historic MB10K event a couple of months ago as well as the residual excitement of the release of Loopin' Chewie. Everyone has been galvanized and energized by this exciting new era in the site's history.

Which reminds me...we still haven't changed the logos, URL and title of the site to Gaming by Michael yet...can somebody get on that, please?

I agree. We're seeing contributions from a lot of new people, and it's really lifting the place.

I've gotta say, I get a kick out of seeing this content early. Lots of excellent write-ups, and... *checks email* apparently more coming. Nice.

I agree with Sax but I'd also love to have a weekly feature called "Repoman caught Larping". That would really put the F:at over the top and something BGG would never have. I can just imagine having photos of Repoman doing different Latping things like fighting Larping Orcs, rescuing Larping princesses or getting stuck in a gelatinous cube. We can even have a Repoman Larping Trash-dome and at the end of the year Barnes or somebody could do a Repo Larping of year count down. Even better Matt Lotter and Joss Look could Kickstart a Repoman Larping podcast. Also, Stronghold games could do a game with 100+ Repoman Larping minis and I'd love to have a the rights to put out Loop'n Larping Repo or Repoman Coconuts. Players would have to defend against Loop'n Larping Repoman who would fly around knocking out evil dragons or Repoman could fling poo ball into cups. That would be great.

I should write an article. Maybe something from BGG.CON. Any games people been wanting to hear about but haven't had access too? One thing cool about Scott on the other site, he does buy EVERYTHING from KS, and I'm sure I can get almost anything played while I'm there. There has to be something Barnes hasn't got his grubby hands on yet.

I'd like to read your take on A Study in Emerald.

In all seriousness though I do think it's because of you. What happened, in my estimation, was that when you started posting your reviews on mini's market some people got all pissy that you and some others wouldn't be producing exclusive content for F:AT in quite the same way anymore. So the other members upped their game and tried to write some things out. It was a good push and a show that there are plenty of talented people here to fill in the void if need be. We still get the content that you guys cross post and now we get extra articles too. That's kind of awesome.

Other than that, yeah, the Fort does rock. Other than the obvious consumerist hole that hobby sites like this send you into the folks are pretty damned cool and I don't think I'd be on line much at all if it wasn't for this place.

So, in other words, Mike's blatant shillery showed the rest of us that we need to step up and earn our keep. :)

I thought Weeks thread about the site dying led to people wanting to contribute more.

Like Rahm Emmanual's "Don't let a crisis go to waste", Barnes' mantra is "Don't let a Weeks troll go to waste" ;)

And I believe that one of the things that precipitated his thread was THE GREAT POLISH SPAMBOT APOCALYPSE OF 2015, along with a lack of active or engaged moderators.

I know I don't post for long stretches of time, but it's always nice to come back here and poke around. It's a little like visiting friends I haven't seen in ages. No other site does stuff like that, so yes. The Fort is awesome.

I'm super pumped that Tom Anders and Nate Hayden both dropped by to post this week. That's the kind of thing you might bullshit about but don't truly expect to happen. I haven't been at F:AT for as long as a lot of you but Anders and Hayden is the high water mark for me.
