Well, I'm back. Hooray you all say. Liars. Been busy as hell and living at my girlfriends so just switched my pc on for the first time in AGES! Not banned any more - er, hooray. What else? Well, sorry again for lack of updates. Sometimes real life gets in the way. Anyway, thanks for all the email - no I'm not dead (touch wood) - just resting. See you when I see you. Bye for now.

Hello all. Just thought I'd say a quick hello. been kinda busy so only played an hour or two of TFC a week max. Keeps thing fun though. I'm pretty annoyed about something though. I was playing on a Wireplay server (2fort only), and [Admin]Earthwalker banned me for calling him a prick. He kept shooting me and taking all my armor, I called him a prick, he said "sorry?" then "ok, goodbye" and kicked me. It seems I am banned too. Quite how long I'll stay banned remains to be seen. If anyone knows him or is associated with Wireplay then have a word eh? Anyway, he banned the wrong person. This doesn't end here. Watch this space....
| ADMIN[EARTHWALKER] - you are famous - famous for being a prick. Bye for now. 19th May 2001 |
Hello you gorgeous lot. Sorry about the lack of updates - I started a new computer contract a couple of weeks ago - it's in Liverpool and I live in Manchester so I've been spending four hours on a train every day so I haven't had a lot of spare time.
Anyway, things are ticking over nicely site-wise - plenty of people are visiting and sending lovely emails so that's very cool and groovy. Anyway - ARTICLES!!!!! Come on you lot - get your creative juices flowing and write some and I'll publish them - I'm sure you've got plenty to say. Bye for now.

Oops. Got my dates muddled up - previously, the two dates below were march - should obviously have been may. Yes I know, I am a muppet (thanks for pointing this out James). I have also got some corrections to make - I received an email from Scott with some corrections that'll I'll be checking and making if necessary - cheers mate. He said too that he didn't like to scroll on the weapons menu - fair point and I know it should be avoided but
I made the decision to have the navigators the same size per item just to maintain a consistant look and feel - if the weapons section was more squashed up I would lose that - sorry if it's a pain but I think I'll leave it like that.

Thanks for all your emails - I seem to be getting more and more these days - keep them coming - it's always nice to get them and it's always very useful to get feedback as if I'm doing something wrong or have got facts wrong then I'd rather know about it then carry on in blissful ignorance. |
Finally, it seems that Misanthropy (http://www.planetfortress.com/misanthropy) has today posted a list of TFC abbreviations and common terms like I said I would yesterday - well, I don't think there's much point me going over the same ground so I'll knock that idea on the head. Take it steady and happy fragging.

Cool - Planetfortress have mentioned my relaunch (cheers Warthog) so I suppose this site is now officially relaunched. Hooray! So, if you've been here before I hope you like the new layout and look, if you're new then I hope this site is useful and interesting to you. As always, email away if you've got anything to say. I received an email today suggestion descriptions of common expressions used on TFC servers, ie lmao, gg, brb, etc - I think that's a good idea so if you could sent in some abbreviations and what they mean so I don't miss anything and the site can be as comprehensive as possible. Also, if you'd like to write an article for the site, send me a rough description as to what it's all about and if it sounds cool and interesting I'll ask you to write it then publish it and give you full credit. So, be the first and be the envy of your friends and colleagues :-)

Finally, I have created a custom favicon for my site so if you bookmark it in Internet Explorer 5+ you should have a little TFCE icon next to it - I personally can't test it to see if it works and was wondering if someone would be kind enough to test this - you must NOT have bookmarked this site before else it won't work - so, if you bookmark me for the first time see if it works and send me am email saying yes or no. This only works in IE. Thanks.

Wow, it seems that everythings finished. Hooray!!! All the playing section is now complete - the only thing I have to add is an article I am currently writing about *gulp* bunnyhopping - the pros and cons, if it is fair or not, etc. This will NOT be a guide on how to do it. Still no mention on Planetfortress. Oh well, suppose things take time. Well, I've been playing TFC madly. I have been playing mostly on a British Wireplay 2fort only server. Dunno what it is about
2fort, it's just soooooo addictive. I've been spraying my logo everywhere too though and that seems to have ramped up the hits a bit. Anyway, keep visiting, say hi if you want, don't forget about the forum and hopefully some of you will be so impressed at my wonderful site (ahem) you'll link to me or use my custom decal. Bye for now.

Hmm, it's seems it's not quite relaunch time yet. No mention on Planetfortress - well, I'm sure it'll come any day. After all my hard work making this site look as nice as possible I suddenly decided that I really didn't like the text colour. Maybe I was just bored of it. Hope you prefer the new one - kind of army green. Of course I had to upload everything again once I'd changed the text colour in ALL the files. Pah! I've also added a classes comparison chart to the classes section so you can tell the differences at a glance. In my constant quest for perfection, I also decided that the killed by section picture looked a bit dodgy so I've redone it and am rather pleased with the result. Well, at least all the hard works done and it's just fine tuning to do. As usual, keep the emails coming in - it's always nice to hear from you.

Well, it's relaunch time. I didn't realise quite how much work this would involve but it's been fun. Basically, I've done a major facelift on the graphics (maybe overdone it slightly - how many imagemaps ???) but I feel the site really does look ever so nice. I've also re-written pretty well all the content. This is firstly because when this site was first produced I was still a relative newbie so wastn't too clued up on things. Secondly, a few things have changed since initial launch date such as weapon damage. I also felt the site was getting a bit stale. There are a couple of new bits added - I have added an articles section. This is for me to rant away about things TFC related - what annoys me, the general state of the game, etc. This section is open to you too though - if you have something to say then drop me an email with a rough outline of what your article would be about and if it sounds interesting and relevant then I'll ask if you could write it up and I'll publish it giving you full credit. There is also a discussion board for use as you please. As I have been saying from day one, this site is designed and written for you - feedback, both positive and negative is very important to me so if you have anything to say please drop me an email - I'll reply to everyone and give credit if I make any changes to the site due to suggestions from you.
| So, I hope you like my new site and hope that you get loads of info from it and basically enjoy being here. If not then I have failed in my goal, so if not write to me and tell me why not. Enjoy. |
