By my count, anyway. I'm tempted to add Fist as an emeritus, though.

I used an app for the Mac called SeaView. It was free.
Originally, I just would add stuff to the layout... using basic circle brushes in different colors. Later on, I figured out how to use the layers function, so I can more quickly turn things on and off. (e.g. - some players get a customized map with extra info on it that their characters would know. Being able to quickly enable the different layers like that really saves time. Also makes edits so much easier.)
Now that it's been going for a while, I'm thinking of ways to revamp the layout, but of course that turns into ret-conning things... if all of the areas become relatively smaller, with more empty space between them... that impacts some players more than others.

Av or (I think) Goat need to create a sub-forum.

Since Montresor is actually a member of this sub-forum, I feel a little silly talking about him in the third person, however, he replied to my Facebook question from a while back, about the status of Rogue Trader. He replied a while back, but I don't check that Facebook account all that often, so I only just now saw his answer.
The answer was to go ahead and archive it. Since I don't know the proper funerary music for a Warhammer 40k Roge Trader, I just hummed Taps while I did it.

Looks like you got it.

Caam, [Syl], and Xar... do you guys have an opinion on adding me as a mod to your forums? My mod status to GT doesn't automatically extend to all the sub-forums.
I'm not sure that it's particularly needed; it came up when Avatar had to archive off the Phoenix Prime threads instead of me, because I wasn't a mod over there either. Before archiving, I doubt there's anything I'd need to be doing in anybody else's games (except posting as a player).

I'd say either keep them where they are or delete them.
