    Post Going on Waaaaargh! Changing Forums

    Hi All,

    It has been a privilege as always to be a moderator for the Backroom.

    I was going to hang up all the moderating duties as Miss Babywaio is due mid January. I cannot imagine myself making good judgement calls with sleep deprivation, smell of nappies in the morning and a long commute to work to look forward to.

    However Creative Assembly have just announced that they have the Warhammer Fantasy IP. I am a huge fan boy of Relics video game renditions of the 40k IP. And am looking forward to CA upping the ante.

    So I volunteered to be he moderator for the new forum.

    See you around as a patron not a moderator of the Backroom.

    Pape, don't scare us! I thought you meant "changing forums" as in... the unmentionable...

    Even though the unmentionable is unthinkable...

    Glad you'll still be around, and I hope we can find someone to help moderate the backroom with a similar calm and fairness. But more importantly, good luck with the newborn!

    Congratulations!

    I suspect the moderating duties will probably be harder than now, so you'll also need some good luck!
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Thanks Pape. You've been an excellent mod and a great contributor. Have fun slaying orcs from the future.

    While I'm not a Dad I am a Grandad, the Mrs has a daughter, and Mum and baby have just moved out after a year living with us with baby now being 18 months, all I can say is good luck.

    It's fun most of the time......................
