Unexpected cash is the best. Still waiting to be shocked by gov. with a tax return check, though [img]smile.gif[/img] I know (being a former webmaster) how time/money/nerves/sleeplack/coffee/(add your other poisons here [img]smile.gif[/img] ) consuming all that is. Anyway... I would do the same & good luck. Neuro

"Hgou drife a haard barrgun, myster Ziiroc, hbut my country need hgour name..."
Hey, that's wonderful news [img]smile.gif[/img] It'll take a while or me to get used to the name, but if they pay you $45.000 and we get a new chapter in the history of the site that's easily worth the effort [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] |

why do they want the "Ironworks Gaming" name? they made up a name like that and like it, and thus decided to stick with it ...?

BTW, I am going to FINALLY buy a good Digital Camera--Check it out here:
http://www.canoneos.com/d60/index.html It's the Canon D60 (A Digital Camera that is SLR--means you can change lenses) and It's a 6.3 Mega Pixel sucker, with tons of options!! I will finally get some good pic's of Choc and even the Wedding Present many of you put together for us! (The Framed Plaque) As soon as I get it, I'll snap a few pics of it!! (Check the features out on this D60). The Camera 'pack' includes the Camera housing, case and stuff for $2100--this does NOT include a lens. (I was kinda shocked), but a simple 25-85mm is cheap.. It works with non digital cameras as well (lenses wise). So look for some amazing pics--6.3 megapixels is as NEAR to 35mm quality you can get. I saw a nice Nikon, but it was only 4.3 MP. This is a Camera the pro's use, so I'll also be using it to take pic's for a 'textures' cd--say I shot a pic of brick--bring it into Photoshop, clean it up, fix it to where it can be 'tiled' and seamless, and then, in a 3D Modeling program, apply the brick texture, and bam, instant house wall! It should pay for itself once I sell some texture cd's!! www.marlinstudios.com is a friend of mine, check out HIS texture cd's--a few 100 textures for $300! (That is actually a good price)--Movie studios like Pixal have bought cd's from him to use in Monsters Inc! Anyway, check it out, it's a sweet camera!

I think I speak for everyone who shares my views in saying: Ok, the names gonna change- who gives a ??
It isn`t the name that gives the atmosphere, but the fact that there are great members, and an excellent webmaster who chooses excellent moderators [img]smile.gif[/img] |

hehe, I liked the "troll killer gaming" *snigger* erm, serioulsy, I think you did the right thing. A name is just a name right altho, I'm sure it'll take some getting used to the "new" name heh, I wonder, will Cloudy's Cafe still be around? *grins at the excuse to party an spa-post [img]smile.gif[/img] *
