Ending Thoughts
To those of you who have participated in the surveys. Those of you who regularly come and read the articles here. Those of you who post polite and insightful commentary. Those of you who have helped spread the word about this work. I am forever grateful to every single one of you for allowing me to have built up something over the past 8 years that I am so proud of. I am forever grateful to the player community for giving me the opportunity to weave a richer and fuller tapestry of what online gaming is really about.
I have no intention of stopping what I’ve been doing. And I hope that you all will continue to participate and help spread the word. Together, we can help each other understand why online games are so fascinating.

To file an ethics complaint, please send a short note by regular mail or fax (not by e-mail) to the Ethics Office. Please provide the name of the individuals(s) against whom you wish to file your complaint and the state in which they practice. Address it to the APA Ethics Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002. The FAX number is (202) 336-5997. Please note that APA has jurisdiction to investigate complaints regarding only APA members.
For questions about the Ethics Codes and noncomplaint-related issues, we request that you phone the Ethics Office directly at (202) 336-5930 or use APA's toll free number (800) 374-2721 and follow the oral directions to reach extension 5930. The complexity involved in responding to ethics matters precludes using email; and very often, a brief telephone conversation can more quickly target the issue involved and facilitate our response.
