I had serious reservations about starting this board. The Internet started as a great place to find just about anything, but more and more, it seems it is getting harder to find what you specifically want. (Many needle and haystack analogies come to mind here ....)Anyhow, I was worried that by starting this board, I would "split the fan base". If you want to find a Wizardry board, for help, info, whatever, why have two (actually there are more than 2, maybe 5)? To take it to the extreme, if every Wizardry fan had their own board, how would you ever find the "right" one, short of posting to many and seeing who might answer?
Likewise in regards to W&W, HP has their own board, Activision has their official site, there is a W&W VN board, Alz has a large portion of his site devoted to W&W and there is mention of others starting fan sites (which would likely include more message boards).
So I question if I would be doing anyone any favors by adding another spot on the Interenet where people would be looking specifically for W&W.
Then again, for those who don't know about the game and happen to find my site, it may help promote it. Then there is the added traffic (web space and bandwidth) that I would have to consider as well, if the additional section proved to be popular, which I am sure it would, once the game comes out.
Like I said, I'd like to (at least briefly) discuss this with HP before any "final" decision is made.

p.s. My reservations, in the case of what I have done so far, proved to be unfounded 
p.p.s Though, it has caused me a few extra headaches
