Friends, it's a new year.

 Assuming the predictions of the Mayans are false (and I think that's a safe assumption; let's admit, they didn't make it real far) we are going to be seeing quite a few changes. I'm going to run over, briefly, the two most important ones. 

CS:GO The AWP is ugly, we can throw flaming bottles at one another and the deagle doesn't spin. As far as dedicated servers go, we aren't real sure how it's going to work. As far as gameplay goes, we aren't either. However, I can tell you this: good or bad, I'm buying it. I've been playing CS:S for over a decade now, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I look forward to seeing you in servers once again.

Website Mufasa and Kami have been working, for quite a long time, on a new website. It looked pretty damned good the last time I saw it, and I have am confident that it's going to help us usher in a new age with TDD. We've been around for a while; I don't see us going away.

I see a lot of things that we can change; things we can do better, things we can do better and problems we can avoid this time around. As always, this community will be based on friendship and good cheer. I intend, over  the next few weeks, to sit down and start re-writing things from the beginning. Not saying that I'm going to change what we are; my goal is to redefine loose organization that we have so that it makes sense. Game divisions, specific admin groups, overall admin groups, financial accountability, the way we add members to our community, and maybe more importantly, the way we remove them.

Over the last few years I've noticed a trend, and ArC has observed this as well, that most "family" communities, or gaming "families" are full of entitled dicks who couldn't tell their ass from a hole in the ground. Some ideas on how to do things, and least on the admin side, have occurred to me. Working with Kami and ArC, I'll be outlining some of these things and making it clear from the get-go, both to members and outsiders, that while we may be close, but we aren't going to abuse others with blind nepotism as our excuse.

Ideas for the way things for be as we spin back up? Post in the forums. Let me know.
