Hi everyone. Just wanted to give a short introduction here, and say in all likelihood I'll be joining some of the threads here, if not writing at least contributing ideas. It's been awhile since I lasted posted on the Utopia forums, but I think it will be good for me, maintaining some discipline for writing. At least take away some meaningless hours I spent playing video games and put those wasted hours into decent wordcrafting. Anyways, hi!
"wordcrafting" :D

Diaskeaus where do I know you from? I remember the name but can't place what thread we were in together...
I remember the name as well. Also, a diaskeaus is a fish. Freshwater. I remember cleaning tanks with them. ;) fragile fish. ^_^
I'd post, Ren, but I have to wait for SoHee to post something :/
I emailed her, but haven't heard anything. A tad worried, but that's just me lol
I was here a god-forsaken long time ago. You were part of a couple threads I did in the post-fallout of Haven/New Haven (prior to Venura), when everyone was making their own board (including me), and you posted a little on my board back then. It didn't last very long, only a few weeks, but during that time I had something going on called Forging the Hero, Crafting the Hero, etc, including some location-themed threads, based in a world called Alion. I know you were involved with the Hero threads (and I still have archives of those somewhere on my computer) but I don't recall if you were a part of the Alion-location threads.Originally Posted by Drice
Haha, well there's always room for a old-timer to return. Welcome back Diaskeus.
Just wanted to inform everyone that my sabbatical from the boards is drawing to a close. I hope everyone enjoyed the 2 month break without me, but I'll be returning soon ^_^ I'm thinking as soon as this weekend even, but we'll see, definitely by the end of the first week of Nov.
Geco's returning?
*sharpens blade*
@ Darlok: heh... ;)
Geco: Welcome back, missed ya. Then again, I could have emailed you too. :)
To Furious players: I'll be posting in a day or two. great posts guys. ;) I really like where this is going so far, I don't want it to drop to inactivity. Anyone seen or talked to Ark? I AM worried about him.
I saw him on gchat the other day, every few days I see him. So he should be fine. Never talk to him, though, he's always set to busy/do not disturb lol
The antisocial whore XD
Just out of curiosity, what happened to the 4,000+ messages that are usually here, and the daily postings? It seems only one or two threads are active per week, if that. Did something major happen that because I came here only about a week ago, missed?
Sadly URP has, over the last few years, been dwindling slowly downwards. The major change to happen lately has been a shift from the old message boards at Swirve to these ones hosted by Jolt. It has some upsides (editing, html tags, nicer to browse) and some downsides (there now only seem to be about 12 of us).
Wonder if we could get a recruitment campaign going?
I think there are some websites that host a list of forum-based RPG communities. I can't remember any of them, but basically, you vote on the webisites that are the best and those sited get featured in the ads the webisite puts out. We woudl need a lot of votes to get on the ads, but you can put our little forum up there. The only thing is, Jolt owns the server we're using, so we have no rights to actually advertise for them.
But believe me when I say Utopia is not the only community that was hit. I was part of a couple others before stumbling upon this one, and I'm pretty much convinced it's a generational thing. When we were kids, the Internet was fledgeling, and most of us still read books. In this newer generation, younger kids (generally) don't read as much, and therefore aren't as inclined to write since they attribute writing to the school essay, which is uninteresting and usually about some topic they could care less about. It's a misconception, but I think that's what's been happening over the years.

Figured this might be the place to introduce myself. I used to post 'round these parts something 5-6 years ago when I actually played Utopia. Got a little nostalgic the other day and managed to track the board down. Seems a mite slow in here, but I figure I'll jump in. Things still work how they used to, anything one should know before getting involved?
