Aw, I was hoping you'd mention my board in this week's report. Well, there is always next week! :)
*looks at all the people who have posted within the past half hour* Eh, I don't know. Things probably aren't starting off well :P:(.
Wow, that was quick. I posted the review, what, a few hours ago, and you guys caught it? Do you have ninja hawks spy on certain individuals to track their activity? If so, where do I buy them? They would prove useful in a few upcoming wars I plan for next week.
You actually decided to subject the community at large to that video I put up yesterday? Whatever did the community do to you!? :P
