Hi all,

Given this group hasn't had hosts active on DU in years, and I wanted to give back for how kindly people from the Gaming group have contributed to my fundraiser, I decided to request to be added to the hosting repertoire. Nobody objected, so EarlG's got that all set up.

There's not a lot to be said here regarding anything else official. I'll read the board regularly and participate, watch for any trouble makers (not really expected - this isn't exactly DU's most contentious section), and others who may want to Host can contact me about that.

To give you a little about myself, I am obviously Akoto, also known as JT! I'm 37 years old and I live in South Florida, east coast. I've been gaming my entire life, all the way back to family's Commodore and Apple computers with the Ultima series. My favorite genres would be RPGs, building-type simulations, and 4X strategy games (especially Stellaris - I love that it still has a role-playing feel to it). I have also been a longtime MMO player going back to MUDs/MUSHes, EverQuest, UO, so on. Less so these days, but I do sometimes revisit Final Fantasy XIV.

Some of you may know from the fundraiser I've been holding that I also run a gaming-related YouTube channel, Legacy Ark Games, which aims to entertain everyone but holds a special place for showcasing games accessible to persons with varying degrees of disability. It started as something to just get me out of bed, a reason to be something other than depressed in the day, and now I'm trying to turn it into a full time living. I'd welcome your subscription to the channel and hope you enjoy the videos, some of which I'll probably link to here! Mostly nerdy commentary while I do Let's Play videos. https://www.youtube.com/c/legacyarkgames

Again, if there's anything I can do for you pertaining to the Gaming group, just let me know. Maybe I can herd some more gamers over this way, too!
