Back from the ashes

Hello to the gang, OP and the other BGs, and all clans and freelancers.

Where to begin........

I been offline for over 16 months now, and havent been a reg on CF since September 05.

Though I must say I still play Crossfire SP every day, missing the chance to get in to the mix......until now.

So I guess at this point that things have changed a lot, some folks are gone, some are new, and hopefully some are still here.

I havent had the chance to see the new 1.7 yet but I will take a look this weekend as best I can under the time constraints. I do look forward to the new "stuff" and could most likely use some pointers.

So.......anyone still here since 09-05? I would be interested in getting the chance for some catchup, fill-in-the-gap kinda thing.

Most of all, glad to see the game and forum still up and cooking.

......Sigh.........the good ole days.

Drop a line, reply, et al, will talk again soon.

Hey OP, Gunny, and omg IT IS WAVEY!!!! Long time no see old friends. It is so good to be back. Look forward to cruisin the system lanes with all of you once again. I damn sure have missed it, let me tell you.

Ah yes, the good ole days are gone but hopefully (fingers crossed) we have even better ones ahead of us.

But first things first.........

It appears some unfortunate soul within the game (my first day back by the way) who also has an apparent knack for fear of disturbing iconography has been irked by a simple avatar requesting "noobs go away" which I had started with only for the "noob" comment clearly visible on it. Apparently, since it coincidentally contained an image of some religious character of previous notoriety, this soul took personal offence to the image.

After repeated attempts (while playing th game, mind you) to assure this person that I would remove the image this was not, apparently, good enough. This finally escalated into my having to leave the game under less than honorable means.

Symbolism ain't what it used to be.

So, in keeping with our ever burdensome job of sparing the feelings of the lower species and other incompetent symbol-minded, I have since removed the dastardly image in favor of a new one.

With that said, I will henceforth be changing my avatar on this board on a weekly basis in order to show other outstanding artwork being produced by todays young graphic artists and talents from all over the world, whom I believe should get some attention. I will also be listing the title of the work and the author for full credit (also to show I don't sit at home making this stuff up).

Now, could we possibly actually get to PLAY THE GAME?

Whew ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

As always, I look forward to and welcome intelligent, freindly, and cordial discourse. Whiners, noobs, bottom-feeders and other assorted non-parentally controlled need not apply.

For the time being I will overlook the hostilities exhibited last night and chalk it up to a misguided delusion of grandeur.
