I noticed the name of the tribe is *angband, but it uses links containing roguelike.tribe.net.

Is this related to angband-derived games, or to roguelikes in general?

I'm a hard-core rogue-like fan. I actually learned to program so I could cheat at Moria (played in DOS). This was back before the Internet, long before Angband hit the scene.

The best thing about Angband is that when the source was cleaned up it became possible for people to create radical new variations.

I love to cheat, and I'm not above hacking the source to enable it.

Relatively high on my list of things I'd like to do there is: "Create a rogue-like game that doesn't suck."

On an unrelated note, what's with the spam? Does that happen a lot around here?
