I'm a new member (joined in July) and I like the 1x1 PM option. It's cool to know where the site's been before I arrived.

There's also a 1x1 forum for your games - we have lost PM archives before but never forum posts, so that might be a safer option, if you like to go back and read them

The site has been running for.. well, a lot longer than this, through a few names. This is just a brief history~

When the palette contest winners come through that should definitely be added~

You should add October 7th, 2016 as "The Moisture Cult began infiltrating the site."

We sort of did. Our forces were small but our church was massive in square feet. We had a lot of room to renovate. Everybody will be moist, and I mean... everybody. Those who are not moist will be convicted of a capital offense in our church.

The Chronicler , you dare betray me to... the Moisture Cult? That's some serious heresy, I must say.

Oh fuck, Witchdaggah, could I be a socially public double cool kid spy? For both Witchdaggah and Moisture Cult? Then the feeling will be mutual between both sides.

But... but I want to stay dry. Only thing about me that I'm keeping moist is my hands.
