Just a little bit before the one year anniversary I googled this forum togheter. Desperate to find a new group to play arma with and gather information about VBS. I found a common intrest in simulators and landed my eagle here. The past year was a calm time for me at university. Times have changed now but well all those days I was bored and had weeks for a few days work that due to how boring it was took longer than weeks, you guys where there on teamspeak, up for a few games now and then, up for a good discussion, always up for a chat about whatever came to mind and also we where there to listen to each others rants to get things of our chests.
I can not express in words how as a community we are thankfull for what we as members have accomplished, though for a few members I will go a little indepth.
Asid thank you for all the energy and the countles hours you have put into the forum and the community. Always beeing the first with posting information, "Asid I found this news article have you..." <gets interupted> "Look on the forum" and yes he had beaten me to it again. Also thank you for the countless sessions you have organised and the support you have given us in our troubles. A real cornerstone of the comunity.
Attila, you brought us the teamspeak and the place to be vocal to eachoter. Before it was other places but for the majority of the time I know Dogs of War you where the one supplying us the teamspeak. You where the one with which we could always have an informal casual discussion and rant off with on whatever subject we could found. You have shaped my oppinion and view of the world in many different ways. I always enjoyed the discussions and the rants and nowadays I miss them. You created the atmosphere and as such whenever I think of Dogs of War VU I can not leave you out.
Lumi, you where always there, helping people, supporting and keeping up the steelbeasts sector. As soon as the nigth kicked in Lumi was there on teamspeak and sometimes even before that on his phone at work or on the way home.
Stardog, again I can not imagine the Dogs of War VU without you. Is there a day you are not on the teamspeak?
There is so many others I should name here Wilso, Lusic, Colebrook, Renders, Cougar, Rotar, Frankie and many many more. Do not think I do not know what you have done or vallue less what you have done. Its just that I am out of time to reply and realy words can not express my thanks...
We hit a big milestone and it wont be our last. Lets look foreward to many years to come with new friendships to be made. Common intrest combined with friendship and respect brings people togheter.
Thank you all,
