Through all thisThe Barwas steadily gaining pages. This month marked the 5000th page of one of our most revered threads and to celebrateSam Spectretreated us to a kristenbell.gif-a-thon which brought the thread to a crashing halt. Once the mess was cleaned up and the smoke had cleared, forum citizens looked out over the new bar landscape and knew that the best was yet to come.
Meanwhile, at stately MOD manner, the forum team has been hard at work narrowing down the list for the soon to be a thing, Legendary Dtoider Badge. Your patience is appreciated while we dot the i’s and cross some t’s to finalize our selections. In the meantime forum members will be happy to discover that thanks toChangstonasking for it, you guys can now send PM’s to 5 people at a time rather than just one.
