Hey guys,

FU has seen a great deal of change and growth in the past six months. I like to think all has changed for the better. We seem to have good participation in our contest events, the shoutbox seems to be very popular, and the number of mods in our library is increasing and visitor traffic is off the chart. We have the FU Blog, the FU Wiki and now the FU Folding site, be sure to check those out. We have also added the arcade which admittedly has nothing to do with Nerfing, but it seems to serve as a pleasant diversion when bored. The management has listened to requests and has relaxed in some areas with the rules (i.e. casual swearing in the sbox *experimental) yet has become stricter with rules in other areas (i.e. bashing other Nerf Forums). I think these changes have been to the good and add to the quality of our nice little group here. 

Going forward, as the weather gets better and the War season gets more in full-bloom, clearly war news is going to naturally increase. We encourage you to promote your war announcements in the Wars section as well as posting your results, how things went, who showed up, etc. Pics and vid links are also welcome (please keep them clean).

In contest news, we just finished the 2009 Winter Mod competition and the judges are no doubt busily working away on their computations. We will be doing a spring competition, one that will include a painting aspect so keep an eye out for that.

The FU Management Team is of course always open to suggestions on what else members would like to see here, more of…, less of…etc. If you have ideas or suggestions on how to make FU better, please let us know. We want members to have fun, otherwise what’s the point?

Nerf on! 

-ND.

ND said it all, but also, i suggest either linking to another nerf site if you wanna show off some pics of a war, or copying and pasting them here.

  So go out and nerf, like NOW! Smiley

Yes I see, that could work. They'd have to be small to fit inside, but I think its doable.
they're not nearly as big as you seem to think

Are there gonna be any other mod contests soon?  I came up with a really good entry and I'm wondering whether or not to save it.   Also, if we are having a painting contest, NO ONE TELL SALINDIN_NAZ ABOUT IT.  I MEAN THAT.

What ranges do you think this thing has?
Well at 1500 FPS, I'd say rupture your left nut ranges.

Why? Is he good?


To answer your question iMod, we were originally talking about May for the start of the next contest (see the idea thread). I see no reason to change that. That should give us about a month or two between contests. Believe me, I fully understand your enthusiasm and I share it. I would love to jump straight into the next one, but we have to give folks a breather.

Ok thanks Nerfdude.  And yes both of the mentioned users are excellent at painting.  You should check out the modification thread over at NH.  Dang he's good.

Bahh! I have mad paint skills.  Give me 24 hours to finish something I'm working on and check back. We'll see who can paint.
