Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

EDIT: 100 posts! Why am I still a Lebom?
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7754
Apparently the cutoff for Lebom is 75 posts; your next milestone is 250. These ranks are new, though; they changed when the board's URL changed to incatena.org a few weeks ago, so most of us don't really know what they stand for anymore (long overdue, though – it was only last year that we still had the top rank, Shalea, at 2000 posts, which most of us surpassed many years ago). They're also not as colourful or distinct as the old ones.
