by Warthog on Today at 11:48:22 AMUmm well Gustov is apparently trying to remind me that I need to move somewhere else. Which Im working on....trying to get to Plano, if I can just cross a few wires.
Anyhow, Three years ago I was a struggling student/IT guy/gamer. Then Hurricane Katrina hit and I was a homeless and struggling student/IT guy/gamer with no job, no home, and no schools that my kids attended still standing.
Then my fellow VX9ers stepped up. They found my ass, which was not an easy task. Then they called my ass, which honestly was the greatest thing in the world. Then they sent clothes and donations, fixed tires, and payed for hotel rooms. In short they allowed me to stand on my own two feet.
Now three years later-
I have completed the Computer Science Degree. I am still a struggling student however, getting my Masters in Management.
I have risen to Program Manager in EDS. Which is pretty cool, even if we got bought by HP now, and I have no idea if that means anything! LOL.
Im still a gamer, but not nearly as good.
I have given back, I picked up Shittywok on the NMCI contract and that is why he hasnt been around as much as he used to be.
But bottom line is thanks to all the good people here good things have happened and will continue to happen. Thanks for really showing the spirit of =VX9=.
Love you all!

We are also getting back into some Americas Army which is great. Our Honor server is up and running is our Match server for AA. SO keep your eyes open for some great AA fun.
ID Also like to give a SHoutout to Indy who just had a Baby girl 2 days ago. Congrats Indy and Welcome little Leila to the =VX9= Family..
Ok Guys as we move forward this year. We are hoping that another great game will come along for us to Add to the other great games we already play and compete in . So everyone keep your eyes open and keep posting up those new games for us to review.
There has also been some talk here and there about Team Fortress 2. that could be fun. We have the Servers We just need the people.
Big heads up To everyone. Abs and Flair should be coordinating soon on the Arrival of our new Server. Ill have to get the specs and repost them here. I do know its a Quad processor. Its a beast and shoulpd defiently take us into the future as far as more games. We will be Hosting it at Colo 4 dallas along with our other server, But it will Require a new Bandwidth Subscription. Which Obviously will up our bills a bit .
WIth that Said. We had a nice spurt of donation A Few Months back. But with new servers and new toys as you all know Donations are a Vital part of keeping a Roof over our heads. SO If you have anything you can spare. Please feel free to Donate to the cause. It will be greatly appreciated by all of our community members.
