Yeah, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but neither did having BW posts in both Classics and Role Playing.
So remember, all writing still goes into Board Writing; this is just a board to write about the writings in Board Writing... or something.
So keep on writing, or start doin' it, and put down a friggin' vote once in a while Gah! I could not have made that procedure any less time consuming!

Yay almost-depressing gray motif (which disappears when you enter the FtRPG console. Meh, I'm not surprised). So the main purpose of this board would be like the OOC topic(s) of the FtRPG board? Sounds good to me.
And as a one-time BW poster, I'd just like to defend myself by saying some of the best stuff in BW is so long, it would take more time than I've got to catch up. On the other hand, I spent one day at work reading the entire Aftermath: the Prologue, which ROCKED! But I'm afraid to touch Aftermath, as it seems to have some specific direction it is moving towards. I did give the entire series, as well as RoR, full votage. Um, yeah, I'll post if I can be certain I'm not going to screw anything up. Maybe RoR...

Broke my brain.
So, I dun 'member: do posts have the ability to be moved from their improper forum to the correct one, or are they stuck to serve as a testiment to suckitude?
But, as I think it's been known, I can't be said to do any more for BnW than I already am. I've voted on every live topic and have added to every topic that is not deleted and then some.
It's just like the real thing, only cuddly.

I never made a move function for the RE Forums. I would be the only one with the ability, apparently, and I typically just delete stupid topics. Conveniently, it is typically stupid topics and stupid posts that make new threads in the wrong boards.
Of course, there was no "wrong" before this board came along for BW. I mean, you could have made a BW topic in the Battling Dragons board, logically, if it had to do with one of the BD stories like... um.... To Hell. that's sad.
I don't know how exactly slow some of your people read. Now, granted, reading all of AtP takes about three hours to do, but if you keep up with a story and read the new additions every or every-other new post, it does not take so much time as to prevent their reading. I mean, it's okay if RE members don't want to read; I just want them to use a good excuse. Don't insult my intelligence.
Common forum threads go on longer than most BW posts, and people (especially the stupid ones) seem to have no time reading them up the minute they are posted, following up with some non-sensical jibberish that gets deleted right away.
Does that apply to everyone? Of course not. Like I said, it just applies to the stupid ones, but if they can manage it, what's your excuse? Are you worse than a RE forum newb?
Everything is the same as it was for the RP forum with the exception of voting: add to anything and everything you want so long as you do not blatantly go against something that was already written.
Actually, you can make an addition and do something incredibly stupid that creates a plot-hole. It will get deleted through low votes, but you can still do it more easily than RP topics, in which I only deleted extreme violations of logic.
Gah! I could not have made that procedure any less time consuming!
