Quoting: Segata Sanshiro"Guest" has to be the best pseudonym ever, kudos!
I rather suspect that the submitter is marked as a guest due to a lack of a pseudonym, rather than it being the one used by the submitter. I think all posts submitted by non-members will be marked as "guest".

I take it you do not get to see messages on the Admin CP as just a Contributing Editor then. Personally I would be very much in favour of making you a full Editor, if for nothing else to give you total control over your GoL World Tour articles.

Well, I just checked over and approved four submitted articles, which seems like a good start so far.

Personally I will try to get more involved with GoL again, but I must admit that my interest in Linux gaming has actually been waning for the past year or so making it difficult for me to put in the effort.

I do have several reviews that are half-written, and several articles that I do want to write, but I have been spending so little time playing games and have largely lost interest in most upcoming titles to the extent that I must admit to being something of a dead weight on here. To be honest I was much more interested in the Linux gaming scene two years ago than I am today.

I will try and get more involved again with editing and approving submissions since that should hopefully be a growth area, and I will try to get at least one more of my hefty articles published within the next two weeks, but with other things like the farm and my other writing taking up my time, not to mention the fact that I have a girlfriend now, we will just have to see how much time I have left to devote to this.

Not the most helpful thing I could write, but it is the truth. Hopefully I can pull the rag out and get some of my backlog published.

I have deleted RoninDusette's comments as he changed them to be offensive/obscene.

I have never seen a problem with how the website is at the moment, but whatever, knock yourselves out.

Alright, so the person here who actually was born and lives near Edmonton might finally be playing a Bioware title some point soon. Cool. ;)

Quoting: ApopasI'd read about a Linux version from Beamdog but I can't find the link.
Is this not the Linux version? I really have no idea what you are talking about.

Quoting: neffoYou refuse to buy games on Steam?
I believe I have kept that far from a secret.

Quoting: HamishIs there something I am missing here?
Beamdog [External Link] is the company which made the EE editions of BGs and Icewind Dale.
That is not what I felt I was missing.
