Squadron News
Greetings all!
Alas; no news whatsoever this week... Not even a competition-winner, since no-one participated in this round.
So, the picture still stands; check it out on http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=392 and send me a caption! It isn't all that hard...
And next week, I expect an (in)activity-report from each and every one of you!
Yes, I know; I haven't been all that active myself lately, but that's mainly because of my real-life depression and general lack of energy...

Apologies
23:59 - AD Joey C
*S*
I wanted to take this opportunity to apologise to those on the Message Boards who asked for a TC or DB board, and didn't receive one. All requests for boards have been followed up on, and moderators will be assigned shortly.
My apologies for the delay. My super-COMM powers alone can't battle the effects of school. :P
