If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Wow, a hardcore old timer. Well, I'm in Austin too. So congrats on moving to a kick ass city! But no WoW here. I've already lost two friends to the game, and it's a time commitment I can't give.

I dunno about you folks but I got started on WoW because I'd been on the regular Warcraft games before it and was at least somewhat familiar with the whole thing, which is why Warhammer's not on my list. Sorry if anyone chooses to take offence at that.

You're not missing much.
Only ever made it all the way through once. And that was down to sheer pig-headedness.

I hardly recognize any of these guys...!
![Surprised :eek:](images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
And I missed posting in the first post!! Damn. I could have brought it back 2 years later, and it would have been minty fresh...
So.. that's TF2GO at the bottom, then? I think someone posted that name ( was it MV or Legion?) in one of my first threads.
"It's TF2GO!!
"
And good ol' WW&M..
