I play in a pbp, and I run one, and I like to keep track of all the ones Aubrey runs, because they make such good reading.
I have RSS feeds on the main, and discussion threads for these.....
I also like to keep track of what James and Mike are posting, becuase usually, its very insightful for my DMing.....
So in all, I have a *lot* of RSS feeds, it's fun. In fact, it's my favorite technical aspect to these boards. But tracking my pbps has a downside, posting too much at work is naughty, but fireing off an email is not a problem....
So, Mr PostMonster General Sir, I challenge you to this. Give us an email address, and a "subject" format, that means we can post to these very boards by email! That way, I can post to my pbps as often as I need to, after all, who deosn't email in work?

Hmmm. Preventing spammers from abusing this would indeed be a challenge.
Lol, I would have though an automated account, that just takes emails with both the name of the thread, and the thread id in it, to be inserted into the db, and drop the rest, would be easy enough.....and possibly have it only accept email from members, or people who specifically sign up.
The joy of it is that the subject can be arbitrarily complex, since it would be provided as part of the feed....
Of course, all of this could be easily worked out, and easily abused, but it would take a determined attacker, rather than the normal spam-bots...

Spoiler:SMASH THINGS WITH YOUR DICK!...yeah.
Super Smash Bang Bros?
I snorted my soda on the keyboard.
So I have my nose dripping with the drink, my keyboard all spattered and sticky, and I woke up my girlfriend with some loud laugh-coughing.
And she's just too amused to be helpful right now.
I blame it on you.

LOL. Remember The Simpson's Lord of the Flies parody when Ralphie acted as guinea pig and tried some food before anyone else, then keeled over and said, "Tastes like... burning."
That one joke was one of my favorites from the show.

Exactly the reference I was going for!
...even if I butchered the quote a bit. :)

I'm just happy to remember the scene after all these years. Thanks for that.

I would love, love, love this too, for exactly the same reasons. That's why I like play-by-email games (through Yahoo! Groups) much better than play-by-post games.
