So it’s time for a bit of a reboot.

Fishermen tend to stay away from spam...

I just spent about an hour clearing all of the Russian spammers off of the forums, and getting everything updated. Forum registration will now be somewhat more strict, so we shouldn’t have this problem again.

At any rate, I finally have some time to devote to making this site a useful resource, and to try to foster a community. I know I currently have a grand total of zero regular readers after such a long leave of absence, but to turn that around I’m going to see if I can bust out an article a day for the next several days.

While post-wrath patches haven’t brought us everything we hoped and dreamed for, I’ve been really pleased with what has been added recently, in spite of the blatant nerfs to our favorite goodies.

I know it seems as if Blizzard doesn’t have any love for our profession as of late, and I know many of you are frustrated, but I’m not willing to hang up my rocket boots and net-o-matic in spite. The sad fact of the matter is that while every other profession is more practical and profitable, engineering is still, by far, the most fun.

I takes a special kind of crazy to be a dedicated engineer, and here’s to hoping that I’m not the only one.
