And so ladies, gentlemen and Shogun, another year in the life of Hexus is almost over. And what a year it was; we had new lady-only forums, where the socially inept amongst us can ask real women how to deal with, well... real women, we had David working his cuddle conkers off, as per usual, to keep Hexus *the* tech forum to visit on the internet, and the mod team working hard to keep everything friendly and as much unlike a to-remain-unnamed forum as is humanly possible.
Daveham and Stoo joined the mod ranks, as well as myself (must have been a sympathy vote), and Dave assures me that his moderatorship will not change his commitment to never pay the full retail price on any item, until at least June 2007.
Me and Nicho have kept up the long and proud Hexus tradition of squabbling like pigs at feeding time over the perceived ignorance and utter stupidity of the others chosen political views, and by way of contrast, me and Rave have kept up the long and proud Hexus tradition of squabbling like pigs at feeding time over the perceived ignorance and utter stupidity of the others chosen political views.
Howard, the lovely red-headed one, has cemented his place as a top member, but still a bit too ginger to be allowed any actual powers, by taking pictures of almost-certainly underage, but very pretty, girls at various gaming events, and Kez has taken another step towards changing the name of Hexus to 'Kez'sTech Forums' by taking over the news posting. Power has gone to his head of course and he now insists I refer to him as Baron Kez of Kezmania when we chat on MSN, but he does a fine job.
Zak has continued to look like Rimmer from Red Dwarf in the episode 'Polymorph' this year, and really, you can ask no more of him. He's also continued to drive a rally car about a bit, with 'Hexus' written on the side, which means pretty much Zak > you.
We've also welcomed many new members to the forums, notably Private Pyle, who is, as I'm sure you've all noticed, a mucky article. Still, Rys has proven that looking like a thrice-convicted football hooligan should reflect in no way on your ability to fit in around here. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.
And, well... loads of other stuff has happened as well, so, to get to the point, I give you the Twelve Days of Hexmas. Do you see what I did there? Clever, huh?
If you didn't get a mention, don't worry, it’s probably because you are a very dull person and as such haven't done owt worth mentioning this year, or I just don't like you very much. So, with that in mind, Happy Hexmas everybody!
