I still love OotS, I'll still read it faithfully (and buy the
books), and to tell the truth I was never much of a poster on his
board anyway (I went there once to praise Yikyik the kobold, and
then Rich went and killed him off :^(). But reading his long
litany of rules actually irritated me to the point where I wanted
to go out of my way to irritate HIM. Which is the exact opposite
of what he wants, I'm sure.

Anyone else want to weigh in on this?

Where are these rules?

Never mind, found them.

They do seem a bit... expansive. In fact, I have this little impulse
to agree heartily that the rules are bull***, in hope you'll try to
stir up trouble, since that might be fun to see...

Except that every single one of them is probably in response to specific
incidents that have disrpute the forum.

But really, I don't care much. If I participated actively, I'd
probably try to follow the rules I could keep in mind, but I wouldn't
bend over backwards for it. If that wasn't enough to keep me out of
serious trouble with the mods, I might get annoyed, but I wouldn't
worry in advance. Having a bunch of tiny insignificant little laws and
bylaws usually just means no-one bothers to enforce all of them.

Or they do, and everybody leaves. How much can a forum be worth if you have
to worry that much about rules?
