| 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.

Noooo!
You are wrong! Wrong! Wroooong!
The dead albatross isn't dead at all!
Like, if Internet Explorer wouldn't exist, we would have 85% less internet users today!
And, come on! It's called Internet Explorer. You know where the name Internet came from? Eh? Eh?

Microsoft has too many security issues with IE, and their OSs have too many holes and doors, especially the new ones.

You are are all wrong.
It is merely a hoax. The CIA (who owns Microsoft) was asked by federal government to come up with a way of taking the growing legion of young talented as above all democratic software engineers off the streets, and find a way that would stop them developing the next generation of dangerous terrorist weapons like PGP, and finding out that the US government has been in daily discussions with aliens (mind flayers who now hold the majority of seats in the senate).
In a seance held with the Edgar Hoover (late dictator of the FBI and still the person who really runs the US via ouija board) he suggested creating a never ending project that would sap the very life forces from these newly employed software engineers. The genius of it was that also the people of the world would find something even more unpleasant than the US government and spend more time ing about this 'Internet Explorer' than they would politics.
As an aside it was also let slip in this seance that it was Abraham Lincoln who shot JFK. This was done out of jealousy because JFK was seeing Marilyn Monroe at the time, and Abraham Lincoln was Marilyn's super natural stalker.
I would say more but i need to take my medication now. | | | | |

So... because the ActiveX People don't like Microsoft... Abraham Lincoln shot JFK, then decided to stalk Marily Monroe... and so therefore... both the CIA and the US Government are run by mind flayers? | | | | |

*runs in circles screaming incoherently* NO! It's all wrong! Bill Gates was a co-founder; not the U.S. government! What the heck do you think you're thinking?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRGG!!

While I agree with some of the statements of this thread, Dvorak comes off too often as a sensationalist to be taken seriously. Take his words with a grain of salt.
