No it doesn't!

Anyway, just wanted to publicly welcome our six new writers (and welcome back to Tom and Rob)!

Indeed.

But yes, let me add my informal (like the other announcement could BE less formal than it is) welcome to the new crew! Great to have you all aboard.

Hey great! Always glad to see good writing! I hope Kim is a female - we do at least need a token female among the newbies.

Yes, indeed, two females in the mix. Even better, there's not a token in sight, as they earned their props fair and square.

I wish they were introduced by their forum names, 'cause I have no idea who they are.

This site has some of the best articles about adventure games on the Internet. It's exciting to find out that there will be even more talent added to the mix. Welcome and congratulations!

Hello everybody! Thanks for the welcome.

I've been around the site and forum for a while, though I've never really been an active member of the community. (Now where did those hundred posts come from, I wonder...)

Anyway; as you've probably read on the main page, I'm a Sierra Addict. This means I'll be doing some Flashback Friday reviews soon. Games such as Gold Rush! and Hero's Quest come to mind. You'll be hearing from me soon!

Gold Rush

I'll be waiting for that review.
