And four more:

Sorry for my absence! I've been swamped more terribly than usual with work and family. Juggling two jobs, two kids and a house has been a little too much for me. But hopefully things are shaping up for the better now. Hopefully! I've cleaned away most of the forum crap. Is there anything left?

Scouts report another legion of goblins harassing the population. Something about "customer support numbers," must be Black Speech.

I've also noticed a rash of fake accounts. Evidently they think we need a lot of technical support!
