Unfortunately, using a catch-all opens you up to getting a bunch of spam with random name attempts. I get 50 free email forwarding accounts where I register my domains. I create specific forwards for sites that require emails and personalize them for that site, i.e. slashdot@example.com.

This has two benefits:

First, I know exactly who allowed my email to be obtained by a spammer and secondly, I can delete the forward once spammed and the spam stops instantly. If course, I go to the site, delete my account and never return.

D&D Co-Creator Dave Arneson Dies of Cancer 71

epee1221 was one of many readers to send word that Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, has died of cancer at the age of 61. "Arneson is often described as an 'unsung hero' in the history of gaming, having been largely eclipsed by his collaborator Gary Gygax. While Gygax was known for developing the rules for Dungeons & Dragons, Arneson's work focused more on the role-playing element. Although the two split up, Arneson continued developing fantasy role-playing content, and later taught game design at Full Sail University." We discussed Gary Gygax's passing just over a year ago.
