Not that I have posted at all, and I've been around for a couple months at
least, but the problem with people having the "common sense" to ask why they
have gotten the boot is that they may think they got kicked out because they
weren't part of some exclusive "inner circle." (talk about a run on sentence)
At least that's what I thought I would think if I got kicked off the list.

Than again, I have read the FAQ and should know better. I guess them's the
breaks.

Just a thought,
Oscar

P.S. How would you all suggest a person get involved here if they don't have
the same amount of time as most people on the list seem to have? In other
words I enjoy reading most of the posts, would like to post, but don't have
the time to post 4 or 5 or 6 times a day. I was thinking of "running" a
reporter of some sort and just posting any random thoughts or ideasthat
come to mind. Dark Elf seemed to fill that void however. Any ideas?

If I booted everyone who I didn't think wrote good plotlines, there
would only be a few people left on the list .. this isn't too
much of a dictatorship though. (well, maybe.. ;-)

Start your own plot .. that way you can move at your own pace.

Which is precisely what we've done......
You never know, we might even get involved in your plots after a while......
