Hard to believe it, but Just Games is coming up on its 6 month anniversary (I think it started on May 16). In that time, it's obvious we've established quite a respectable following. While by no means one of the busiest forums here, the daily traffic seems to have stabilized at a pretty good level. And without a doubt, this is one of the most friendly and well-behaved of the Ambrosia web boards.

Within the scope of Just Games, we've got quite a variety of topics going. Everything from resolving harware troubles to discussing the merits of individual games to even some debate threads (the true mark of a well-established forum ) regarding emulation, consoles vs. PCs, etc. One issue I would like to address is to remind those who've joined us in recent months, and even those who've been here since the beginning, that appropriate Just Games topics are by no means limited to computer/video games. Games of any kind, including sports and board games, are all welcome subjects of discussion here. I'm not asking anyone to start such a topic, simply to keep in mind that they are more than welcome to do so or to continue discussing electronic games at their leisure. The point of this place is to talk about anything and everything game-related that should happen to interest you.

Another point I would like to raise regards the "pirating" of software. You may have noticed that I edited a post in this topic in which someone posted a serial number for the original Marathon game. This was after several posts that made well-taken points about how doing such a thing is no longer of any consequence for several reasons, including the fact that the person asking for the number did own the game legally, and that updated versions of the game no longer required the serial number. In light of this, my actions may seem uncalled for. However, please understand that the forum moderators cannot take the risk of allowing anything even potentially illegal to appear on the boards, since all forum content (with the exception of posted images) is hosted on Ambrosia's servers.

In concluding, I must say that Just Games has yet to disappoint me, and that it is a great privilege to serve as a forum leader here. Thanks for taking the time to read this, now sally forth get gaming, and take a moment each day to remember that wasting time is, truly, a beautiful thing.

Just Games, because wasting time is a beautiful thing

Well, I for one am quite pleased to be part of this board. My interests in the separate boards has shifted throughout my time here, but I've always stayed with Just Games because of the friendly environment and the good topics. (and good moderation)
