    Been on boards 4 years or so, and in my last week here (going abroad) I find what would have probably have been the perfect forum for me!

    So, I'll wish you all the best, you have a good mod here, hope your threads don't get overtaken by young wans who just have to post everywhere, and....

    enjoy!:)

    edit: didn't notice Beruthiel was modding here too, I'm sure she'll be very good too!

    You'll still be able to log in from abroad. What better way with keeping up to date with the news of Oul Oirland.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Well kinda but I suppose it's not like "normal" work in that I'm an artist and I'm down here hanging pics in my gallery so it's all very enjoyable.
