I know its been quite some time since I have posted my words to these pages, but I just wanted to stop in and say a few things. Mostly to the older members of this community, but also to the newer blood that resides here now. Some may remember me, but most of you probably wont. However, I just wanted to say that Corpse and Gman mostly now that you guys have done amazing with building this community. It takes alot to keep something going and from what I have seen things are still good and active here. You have a head on your shoulders today that when I watched this community start and grow was a bit shaky, but the foundation is obviously in place. You have rules, regulations, recruitment steps, your forums, website, links, stats, and server info. You guys have your shit together these days. I am glad to see this community grow into what I always hoped it would become. I dont know much about the maturity of the newer members you have today, but I can tell that this has changed into a LOT more mature place then when I first remember it being.

The GNG is still around, but we are spread out pretty far into other games. Our site has pretty much been flatline as of late...or for the past couple years. The site admins are running there own lives and things just kind of fell apart. Hopefully with CS GO coming out we will rise like the Phoenix again. Seems that is a GNG creed. Were really active then inactive until something new peeks our interest that were all involved in. However I took a big break from CS when I started school. I just finished my degree, got married a few years ago to the love of my life that I have been with for 13 years now, in a house, still have a good paying stead job, and now have may first child on the way.

Im in a place now that I have some free time to venture back into old territory. I got a CS GO beta key and after playing for a bit I got that bite back for CS that I just lost along time ago. Mainly it was school that ate up my time and with that I had to pass over the reigns to our OGL and CAL teams and I got pissed and kind of quit playing. Now that I am out of school I seem to be coming full circle. I have popped into the server a few times off and on and you will likely see me there more often. I need to get my boundries wit a 28 player server. Im used to the 16-18 player setup. Too much chaos.

All in all I am glad to see this place where its at. Hope to run into some old faces and meet some new ones. This is a great community and if anyone else says otherwise F*CK EM!
