Actually, it did fine. I'm here for three reasons: to promote Vanguard, to answer questions about Vanguard, and because I enjoy talking about MMOG design philosophy, etc. and this is a very active board that does just that.

The owners don't mind that I'm here for those reasons and have said so.

This board gets a lot of views -- there are a LOT of lurkers. One of the reasons I post here a lot is because of all of those lurkers.

They will either be swayed by me, or the skeptics, or, more likely, just become more curious about Vanguard in general.
