Also, when I first started this site, it was a bit of a technical playground for me. In the early 2000s, it wasn’t easy to host a site and the challenge was fun. I even built a static site generator in 2000 before it was a thing (I used XML and XSLT). It was even more difficult to get a database going to set up a forum. The act of doing this project and seeing that a community coalesced around it was awesome.

With GenAI and code “co-pilots” I’m getting back to those roots of experimentation and technical exploration to create something for the A&A community. I’ve literally wanted to build a real odds calculator for A&A since 1996. Now, it shouldn’t be too difficult. I created this linktree-style site in a few minutes, instead of hours: https://axisandallies.link

And weeks of work to create a new site and migrate off of Wordpress will turns a weeks-long project into days.

Now when I do a little work here and a little work there, real progress is made.

Anyway, keep an eye out for some fun stuff this year.

@djensen ahh yes that was the problem. It shows up now. TY :)

So, I think I’m going to push this out another several months. To celebrate 25, I think I just want to get back into the swing of things. Maybe do a giveaway. Go to a bunch of events. And play lot’s of A&A. Be more active here.

It may be an open secret but I just don’t play a ton of A&A these days.

However, I really, really enjoyed playtesting Stalingrad last Fall. I played som D-Day with @The_Good_Captain recently. Two games in a row; first one he shut me out. Second one was closer but he won hands down. Despite the loss, it was awesome. The next day @rmorel and I played Anniversary edition with Dale (not sue if he’s here), my dice were on fire but even if they were not; it was a great time.

I’m going to do more of that. Work on the website. Run an event at GenCon, etc.

Is there any way to change the name of threads manually?

Sure. Just move to the very first posting of the topic, hit “Edit” and change the headline.
This is possible in most forum categories, but not in “Play Boardgames” where edits are never allowed. So type carefully there ;-) . However, you can ask a moderator by pm to edit the title, there.

In that case it is important to send the link to the respective topic and what you want to have corrected there.

@VictoryFirst

The answer of @djensen implies that the issue could be resolved by switching to a newer forum theme, what might lead to other problems.

In the meantime you can always access every chat by klicking “Continue chat with” from your chat partner’s profile page.

@barnee Thanks, it worked

Yes… the powerful Moses Order is an ancient one – like the Jedi. :wink:

Well leave it to the Bigshot idiots up North to screw everything in Southern California. As for heating bills – too tell you a truth, I’m not exactly sure what you’re talking about. Californian winters aren’t that cold; in fact we hardly get any rain. As for the deregulation/regulation fiasco, you can blame that on our incumbent governor, Gray Davis (belch! :x) He has a habit of making things worse (read: natural gas, oil, and electricity prices), so if anybody - blame him. Anyways I dunno how the weather is in Cincy, so I can’t really compare heating prices. For all I know your winter is like a Penguin Nesting Igloo. :)
