And I wanted to talk about some of these and kind of highlight some of these and, you know, bring them up. So forums. So Yoshi Gall talked about forums. And there are two forums in particular that I really like.

Russ Morrissey has been running it. It's very, very old, like been around a long time, old school forum with lots of stuff going on and pretty popular, pretty popular place.

Lots of conversations that are happening. One thing is I definitely notice there's a lot of people who are pretty loud on there. So you're going to see a lot of posts from people who spend a lot of time talking about things there. So it's not this massive community where it's like millions of people talking.

RPGNet, I haven't spent as much time over in RPGNet. I hadn't been there in a while, and I asked some people like, hey, is this still a good place? Like, oh yeah, it's definitely a good forum. They reached out to me. They're doing something about including an RSS link for Sly Flourish in there somewhere, I think. And it also looks like a really good forum.

I want to spend more time hanging out over on that forum as well. Great place to have conversations about tabletop role-playing games over there. So forums, those are two forums I recommend.

One thing I like about both of these forums is they're very well moderated. They have moderated. I got moderated. I'm embarrassed to say I was moderated during a conversation that I had while I was at Page. I got very angry and got well moderated for good reasons. I even sent a note to the guy who moderated me and said, you're absolutely right. You were right to moderate me. I was very angry.
