Danasan has surpassed us by not just having the badge but making it his avatar too!

It's not just what he does...it's who he is!

I was a mod on an old nation-simulator game board, when the game wound down I stupidly didn't lock everything up. I came back a few months later and the place was infested with the sods. I had to go through and weed them all out and lock everything up.
I renamed myself the 'Gardener' after that.

Well, bad tongues would say, it had to do with where we come from

Oh, and please don't take that avatar away from me, Neal. I'll keep it in honor, if you don't mind.

And, it's a one-of-a-kind.

In case you missed it, we were hit by the biggest spam attack since Kennedy was President.

Starting at approx 02:37 CST, a horde of new "members" began signing up and flooding GT and SH3 Workshop with chinese-ish spam and there was no let up. Luckily for us, Spam Hunters Dowly, a.g., Bera, Rhodes, padi, and rowi58 took immediate action and rang the alarm, launching Jimbuna into action. Jim says there were over 260 spam posts landed, and quickly u crank joined in the effort to block them out. We had a breakdown of my awesome emergency procedure, which I am trying to fix now. We cannot stop the first few spammers from getting in the gate, but I will try to give our moderators better tools to shut the gate before it gets as bad as last night.

Thank you Jim, u crank, Dowly, a.g., Bera, Rhodes, padi, and rowi58 !
