Dave,
I remember you from when I first joined back in June last year, you were on your way out, into the army I believe?
I remember your fantastic Buna diorama!
So are you back online for good?

Oh no... I finally gave that up. I did play a bit of BF2142 for a while then gave that up too. Too hard on my stress levels.
Glad you will be around more.
