| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

HAHAHA!!! I absolutley LOVE how the more computer illiterate and obnoxious people get with their computer problems, the more "supposed years" they've spent in the Computer Engineering and Programming field, according to them. It's like when I did tech support for this one ISP, when an indian guy was shrieking at me that he was a high-paid system's administrator... and could not find the start bar for windows, or the Run comman prompt... After threatening me with bodily harm several times, I snapped...
"Look, you're a Sys Admin right? What **** country is this company in, where people who can't even configure their own computer's IP settings are put in charge of an entire companies accounts? Because by the sound of you tonight, they're obviously paying the wrong freakin guy!"
ah man... good times! | | | | |

good gods.... that's not even a matter of being computer literate, it was laid out so stupidly plain, and with civility... that's a matter of mr. city council being an uppity jack___. that kinda stuff ticks me off. i break fingers for less. seriously.

"I had a tuttle call me for tech support today. I hung up on him. What a tuttler."
No offense to the good people of that town, but that guy has just ruined your town's name.
I wonder if Wikipedia will approve those two new definitions!
*chuckles*

Bloomin' Nora....That guy..."Yeah, I got 22 years of experience" => That doesn't mean you know everything about 'puters....
I hate that when it happens, it's very hard to keep calm. It seemed although he just didn't listen or try to find different ways around it.
Now come on...call the FBI? What going to raid the building he's working and threaten to kill him...silly silly man.... | | | | |

Maybe he means that 22 years ago he knew a lot about computers and got a degree in computer engineering. I remember when I was in college we were studying Basic and Pascal as complex comuter languages so maybe I could claim to have 18 years of computer experience based on that. The problem is that technology changes so fast that unless you keep involved you fall behind in a very short time making any experience you had meaningless. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
