Getting to know your fellow forum members

[D-Bone]

I've noticed we've been having a few new people signing up, playing games and what-not. I thought it would be a good idea to have a place to introduce yourself (if you want) and you can also get to know some of the other regulars around here. I'll leave the format requirements open so feel to post as much or as little as you like. You can also follow my lead and post the same way if you like, whatever. We're pretty easy going here. Of course you can also feel free to update your profile at the same time if you like. (its under the Quick Links option at the top) ;)
