Somehow I missed seeing this till now, but at the time we had this discussion I was still working 12 hour days and preparing to move to Norway and marry. 
' /> The good news is that it offers a good snap shot of how active RAFO was in the first six months and since: Based on the quote tags, it had not quite 106,000 posts by May 2010 and has just over 231,000 now.
And who appointed your friend to that (apparently lethal) position?
in complaining that your "homie's" mother ate his sister.
Hobgoblin girls need lovin' too!
Even for your mom.
What consenting demihumans do in the privacy of their own DMs screen is none of my affair. Though it does remind me of a story someone linked me not long ago about a campaign that went horribly wrong when the DM brought in his girlfriend to play an NPC denizen of the Free Love and Orgies Plane (I think it's just south of Elysium... ) who wanted to personally thank the entire party for releasing her from captivity.
Sounds disturbing, but I read through the entire Creepy Gamer thread at RPG.net, so not much surprises me anymore. Fortunately for the sanity of those who have not seen the thread, it seems to have vanished into the ether. There have been a few attempts to restart it, however.
Disturbing is precisely the word; I'm not sure which is more unsettling, the idea of a DM offering up his girlfriend for his groups enjoyment, or the idea that she was not only into it, but it was apparently her idea. I choose to believe the whole thing was a work of fiction, since its factuality depends not just on one gamer geek attracting a woman, but on that woman having a fetish for gamer geeks seemingly so strong as to be insatiable and utterly lacking in decorum.

And, anyway, maybe you should get some elf friends that don't trash talk mah homies moms, yo.

I think the first 2 are OK either way, but the third is wrong (essential clause). *NM*

except that is an improper use of a semicolon.

If a comma is appropriate in the original supposition, then the semicolon is necessary here.
