Site improvement

If you go that route, the ability to read RGRN would be nice, too. I don't particularly like Google Groups.

I considered this, but haven't had time to implement it yet. It's on the to-do.

In every place where forum login is used on the site, there's always Log out link nearby, so I don't see the need for this. I don't want to force the impression this is a log-in site on casual visitors.

I have added rec.games.roguelike.nethack to the site - adding another newsgroup is pretty easy. You must excuse the lack of proper threadage, because my news server carries only like 14 days worth of articles. It will get better over time.

No problem, getting used to it now.

another thing... over the years, i've changed email address a couple times, so i think my characters are spread out over 3 emails. a way to claim previous emails would be nice. but i realize this poses a great many problems... just a thought.

I'm willing to fix people up on individual basis. So if you want this united perhaps under your Forum moniker, just PM or email me list of the old emails.

I like the little 'branding' icons in the address bar--they make it a lot easier to navigate tabs in Firefox. There are plenty of icons available for Angband: the original Angband JRRT icon*, andrew's little Mr @ guy, or even just a plain '@', in white-on-black.

* The JRRT icon may be copyright, so perhaps it's better to keep that one under the public radar.

That would be nice to have, agreed. Where can I get my hands on that JRRT icon?

Here's a picture:

Another idea would be Gandalf's G rune, or one of the heraldry tiles (like the Luthien one I use as the FA icon).
