    Hexus

    So I am not sure how many of you know, but I am David Ross - the founder of HEXUS.

    I wanted to write a post today to talk about a number of things which make me proud on this site...

    Firstly, the amazing team which we've got behind the site. We've a fair few of us now; some work from home, some from the labs and some in the studios where we produce HEXUS.tv and other top-secret projects.

    Secondly, you wonderful lot, our family - the community - we've a ton of people who read the site and don't post in here. The fact you guys hit these forums daily and post up the latest happenings makes me smile, really smile.

    Thirdly, we have the industry chasing us, supporting us and wanting to spend time with us. I sometimes wish I'd be prepared to Twitter all of the meetings and such I have but I really don't want to tell everyone, not yet at least, but in the last week alone I've met with some major players to discuss how we can engage with them on many levels.

    Funnily enough, I was walking in Swindon the other day with a friend – yes, feel free to shoot me - and someone walked past. I guess they must have been someone from Intel and, would you believe it, they were wearing a HEXUS top. This, as you can imagine, also made me smile.

    We've been working on something which will go public later today, it's something for all of us and, well, we've put some serious work behind it and got some important stuff in place. If it goes well it's the start of much, much more.

    Over the next 12 months we have a ton of things which we will be bringing to the page for everyone to use, some of which you will see straight away and others you won't. For example, has anyone used Search on the site recently?

    Anyway, enough of me dribbling on here, I just wanted to say thank you, and hope you guys like the start of what we've got planned.

    David.

    I keep saying we need Hexus merchandise Which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact I work for a company that does keyrings and decals as a sideline.

    Re: Hexus

    And what a lot of you peeps probably don't realise is actually how young David actually is. He and the team have achieved so much in the short time Hexus has been 'alive' & a goodly proportion of that is down to his personal drive & vision.

    One of the few people I sincerely & thruthfully admire.
