Look out! a girlie in our midst (Anette is listed as recent visitor!)

There used to be a lady that stopped by the cantina, but she quickly got tired of the antics. cant imagine why, though she said that she still lurked. that was a while ago.

There was also another lady that occasionally posted questions about multiplayer games she was playing.

A long time back, we had an active female player on PBW. At least, one that I had gamed with. There may be more.

And back a couple years ago, one of the regulars mentioned that his mother (in her 70s or 80s, if I remember) played SE4 and lurked on this board.

Yeah, someone was posting about bad links, and they turned out to be mine (imagemodserver needed a reboot).

Saber Cherry -- a name from Anime, I think. She still Posts on the Shrapnel BBs, just not this one very much. She's become a fan of some other Shrapnel product.

we do occasionally get them here.

and besides, everyone here who's name is indeterminate for determining male or female could be female.

since that includes my name, it might be best to state that i'm male, since my name is nothing more than gibberish a cartoon character likes with a BOOM at the end.

We used to have a poll about how many female members we have.

It is here: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...3;t=007635;p=7

The Last results were:

I'm male, no hesitance here, 100 % testosterone. 97% (69)
I'm female but never plays PBW. 0% (0)
I'm female and plays/has played PBW. 1% (1)
I'm neither or I don't want to tell my gender (Assume I'm male). 1% (1)

"But if you didn't have more urgent things to do after supper, you could write a letter, loaf, gossip, discuss the myriad mental and moral shortcomings of sergeants and, dearest of all, talk about the female of the species (we became convinced that there were no such creatures, just mythology created by inflamed imaginations - one boy in our company claimed to have seen a girl over at regimental headquarters; he was unambiguously judged a liar and a braggart)."

some gaming news places have had Posts, mostly from women, dealing with this, basically, the problem is 14-year old libidoes(uh, if i spelt it wrong, i mean sexual drive) regardless of the actual age. or in other words, more of them might reveal themselves if they didn't get slobbered over. or, put more plainly, they play games to play games, not to find dates, most of them. although most of the complaints listed were from a relativly few trouble-makers.
