While I created the initial version of The Forge, my co-founder Ron Edwards (Adept Press) is now maintaining it. For those who were at The Forge from the beginning, you'll recognize Ron as the main content guru. While I'm no longer involved with the day to day of the site, I will always remember it with fondness. My baby has grown up and left the house. Ah, well... Such is life.
