    This is the story of myself and almost all D&D topics nowadays.

    Is it just me or has the amount/quality of moderation in D&D really gone down as of late? I see so many people posting witty one liners, off-topic, and straight up retarded stuff, or jokes in on topic threads. I seem to remember a time when such actions would not fly?

    Maybe we need a Premium Members section. 2,000 word minimum for each post.

    Also I wish someone would bring back the Limed for the Truth blog some D&Ders used to write. That was so cool.

    Yes. I would be totally interested in helping with such a thing.

    Though we'd probably suffer the same problem most PA startups have: huge initial interest eventually dying off.

    Certainly they have their place, but I think a couple of threads I poked my head into a bit back had like, pages that were mostly jokes/one-liners.

    Zimmy: Yeah, I'm not sure who would step up, generally the powers that be pick mods right? It's not a volunteer thing.

    Speaking of the powers that be, I haven't seen Tube in a while either.

    Isn't not wanting to fuck (I mean, ever.... I'm not talking about your gf not wanting to put out at her father's funeral) a sign of like, hormonal imbalance? I always thought that wanting to fuck came from our hormones and a lack of libido was a sign of an uncountable amount of mental and physical problems and that not wanting to screw was unhealthy....

    Im probably way off though.

    It depends. Not being able to fuck (since you can't seem to sustain a libido) isn't entirely the same thing as not wanting to fuck. You could be asexual and perform fine in sex, just find no desire to do such. Similarly, you could want sex yet not be able to perform sexually.

    Ah, gotcha.

    I need to rant for a little bit.

    My brother. Christ, it tears me up. This isn't my little brother- this is my full brother, 22 years old... 11 months apart, for a month each year we're the same age. He's aggressive, he likes to fistfight, he's an alcoholic, he's addicted to Percocets. He's managed to segue from Percocets (which ran him $350 a week) to Suboxone, which runs him maybe $30 a week. He's still addicted to the stuff, though, and also smokes about an eighth of weed every day of the week. He engages in self-destructive financial practices (like borrowing twenty bucks on Saturday to give back thirty five bucks on Sunday) from different people, he's addicted to gambling which further destroys his finances etc. It's awful because he has so many qualities that I love and value in our brotherly relationship. He's a very hard worker, often working 70+ hours a week. I don't think he's worked less than 50 hours, ever, since he turned 18. No vacations or anything like that. Despite his dire financial situation from his addictions, he would never, ever, ever take from friends or family. He refuses to borrow money from me unless I accept a huge interest repayment (like 60%), and I refuse to swindle my brother so he just won't ask me to borrow money. I have this brother who owes bookies thousands of dollars, is literally shaking with withdraw... and I could leave a thousand dollars in cash on the coffee table and take a nap. Not only will he not even consider taking a cent, he would go to war if someone else thought about it. He's amazingly loyal and hard working... he's just weighed down by these horrible compulsions that our dad passed down and he never asked for. It's heartbreaking.

    Ok I'm finished.
