Hey all,
I saw an advert for these forums on a different forum and, being something of a forum addict, decided I'd join up and say hello! I happen to recognize a fair few names here already, so it seems it won't be all too difficult to feel at home . At any rate, I'm 33, originally from Bolton, England and presently living in Arizona in the US. I'm an avid video game collector, a lover of all things Tolkien, and a supporter of my hometown Bolton Wanderers Football Club as well as the Dallas Stars of the NHL. I spend a great deal of what free time I get tinkering with websites and posting on forums (been running or helping out with forums for about 21 years at this point, posting on them for about 25 years in total).
As an occupation I was a computer programmer, working to develop loan origination software for banks, but I quit my job when my mother's health took a downward turn as she now has dementia and needs around the clock care, which is what I do. Not exactly a well paid position, but I owe her at least that much, she is still my mother even though she doesn't remember that anymore. At any rate, that's enough of that. There's really not much else to know about me, so I'll go ahead and stop there. This certainly seems like a good community thus far and I look forward to branching out and seeing what all it has to offer, so it's good to meet you all, good to reacquaint with some, and good to see those that I already know .
