    Lightbulb Almost 5 years since I've been a member here.

    I can't believe it. I have to say, this was my first internet forum membership. Now I have a few main memberships. I've learnt a lot from here. The org did change my life, completely. It's been good to be here.
    If you remember me from M:TW days add me on Steam, do mention your org name.

    Congratulation Sinan. You've been as fine a member as this or any forum could ask for. It has been a pleasure knowing you via the Org.

    Here's to five more years!

    And we've learnt much from you as well. I remember when we first started PBeM's, Almohads I think; you helped get that initial effort off the ground, and then you made an entry so chock-full of info and images, it took me a week to digest. And it spurred me to do more research on my own; which I did.

    Happy Anniversary, mate. May we continue that symbiotic relationship many years hence.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Oh really, that changes everything.

    What are you doing Friday night?

    IL:2 is one of my favorite games, especially with Forgotten Aces, and Pacific Fighters. I'd get some of the other add-ons too, but I don't have an income right now...

    I've got CFS3, Wings Over Europe (with a TON of add-ons, realism, aircraft mods, etc.), and I'm going to buy FSX, IL:2 and perhaps Lock On when I get this new computer built.

    Is Lock On infested with StarForce, or just the expansion to it?

    Talking Re: Almost 5 years since I've been a member here.

    Thanks guys !

    I never thought for a minute that AAR would be so popular, I'm really glad it was. Always wish I had more time to do game related things but now there's always something or the other that has to get priority. Still try to do small things here & there.

    EMM, only the exp pack is Starforced IIRC.

    I passed 5 years and I didn't even notice.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Ah, even I have to bow to Sinan, like everyone else.

    What more can I say than:

    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Proud

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Heh. You know, I honestly hadn't realized til just now that I already passed the 5-year mark back in March. It's a little unreal that I've been here that long!

    Half a decade is a truly impressive benchmark, all those of you have been here for so long.
