Greetings and welcome to our little comunity. See how the site is now and witness what it will be like in another, if you care to stick around then. I remember it was almost two years ago we started this forum, after having left our older and more generic free forum, and we had a total of about 7 people or so. Now we have had many guests come and go, some have staid, some have moved on, but always do we grow.

So welcome to our little community, I hope you feel welcome. If you ever need anything do not hesitate to ask. If you ever have a concern, please bring it up to one of us moderators as soon as you possibly can and we will adress the issue with great haste. All I ask of you is to follow our rules and mind your manners, if you are respectful then there will be no problems. If you can please keep the "l33+" speak down if at all, it bothers me and many of us (including myself) are international and english is not our primary language.

Other than that have a great day and I am looking forward to seeing more of you and getting to know you.

Hey thanks, you have a very welcoming community here, I thank you all.

I might also mention I like to design maps, (not very good ones I am still a newbie, so don't ask for help from me =P)

Well enough about me. . .

I think Malufa is going to like you.

Basically, English is preferred over Internet-speak here. For example, "This site is great" would be more appropriate than "OMG dis site iz liek t3h r0x0rz OMG itz so l33+."

I do indeed like you. l33+ speak is "elite" speak, it is lazy spelling for people who are too dumb and retarded to write properly. They think it is cool and that it elevates them in their own twisted minds, so they continue to do so. Obviously I find it retarded. Acronyms are alright, to a degree, but l33+ is just retarded. If you need an example I can give you one.
