• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Damn Vikings always spoil the party!

Well that's it for this year. Pvt Snafu, Johnny Canuck and with technical complications from General Specific ( the autolumonic moronic head guy) we would like to take this opportunity to thank you and SAG for the chance to do this.

Thanks guys

Now go scare the crap out of the kiddies!

Great story and pics JC. I am so glad they turned out. The tracer streams looked amazing in person, And the Bren was a blast to operate. I think I may have over done the new zombies - a bit too gory (is that even possible?). It's going to take a bit of thinking to top this next year. But I have been toying with a 1/6 scale atomic bomb 'Fat Boy' or 'Little Man'....

Absolutely superb ! Beautifully set up and photographed with some outstanding customisations. But what I really like about it is the humour. I can't remember laughing so much at a post before.
