Neat. Who added the confetti on the forum index page?
At least I see it on my phone!

Confetti? That's probably a sign your browser is about to crash.

Nope. Go to the main page of the forums. The index I think it’s called.
Then pinch the screen, do the scroll in and scroll out thing with your fingers... digital confetti.

Mouse trails are a very 1990's thing. I wouldn't dream of implementing anything so juvenile.

EDIT: Ack! 2000th post! Woo! I should probably give myself a special badge or something. Very 90's.

Hmmmmm, oldest listed member join date is in 2002. Current year is 2019 (I think).

2019 - 2002 != 20

Scandal!

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

A hint (sorry, Brette...): the site didn't start in 2002.

Hard to believe, but there was a time when this was a soulless place, bereft of community, where everyone was forced to just quietly read and ponder.

Yeah, but I didn't get no backtalk! The good old days. I was always right, too.

Scott---

A great, update, thanks for sharing, as always. WRT print run estimates, there was some recent data revealed at ENWorld too that is worth archiving and linking too; see The Sales of D&D vs. AD&D vs. AD&D 2nd Edition | Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG News and https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.riggs ... 1032275285

Also: it might be useful to add the publication year to the main five index pages, and perhaps the ruleset that the content was published for too?: so I could at-a-glance that C1 was published for AD&D 1e vs. O1 for BECMI, etc.

I don't know if it's already in your planning for the next update, but it's probably worthwhile to allocate some space to talk to the 1975 Origins I Tomb of Horrors and 1976 Origins II Expedition to the Barrier Peaks tourney versions on the general S page @ Special Series and perhaps as drill-down pages similar to Tsojconth, Fazzlewood, etc.

Allan.
