Looks like everybody has decamped over to Grogheads. I'm going to follow suit for reasons that are pretty much self evident. Bye all, and thanks for the memories.
Redwolf, have you got a login over on Grogheads? Your posts on the programming dimension of wargaming were pretty much the only remaining reason I had for peeking in here. That forum seems actively moderated and so far contains a reasonable balance of "haterz" and "fanboiz" who are willing to talk gaming, not people. Fingers crossed.
Never shall see Herald more.
