Mods n' Admin... feel free to move this topic to wherever you feel it appropriate. I haven't been here in long I dunno what is up and what is down. The place has changed... not as dark and evil as I remember it last.

Hello, gentlemen. It's been quite a while. I believe it's been four or five months. The stresses of being a freshman college student has caught up to me. Nerf for the past five months have ground to a halt. However, I did manage to purchase a Longshot the first day it was released in my area and modded it out the wazoo. Perhaps pictures will come later this evening, depends on how Nerfy I feel. My life was derailed around early August with things I don't like to talk about and the following months had not been much better. I attempted to play football at a major divison school, but I decided to hold off and figure out my life before I tried that. Came back to school here in town and was swamped with this and that. Also had some bad family issues, not going to get off on to that, either. However, I did manage to increase my firearms collection two-fold. I have many WWII firearms now and just bought a Walther P-38 today. Ah, I love 9mms.

Artemis Arms is still in semi-existence. My partner, like myself, is a freshman in college and he as well struggles to make it. I believe I got all guns back to customers except for two, if my book records are correct (and they are). Gentlemen, if you will e-mail me at : chubsmartin at gmail dot com, I will get your guns back to you, plus a full refund and some compensation for me holding your weapons. No worries, they were not used, they were cleaned, and stored in a temperature controlled room. I wasn't trying to steal your guns or be dishonest in anyway, shape, or form. Life hit hard and I was thrown off track. I hope you will accept my most sincere apology for this brouhaha. To my customers that did receive their stuff before the calamity, I'm glad to hear you are most satisfied with my work.

About the future of Artemis Arms. I am going to quit the custom gun work. I will, however, be modifying standard handguns and rifles with customization options, but I will no longer accept personal guns to be modfied. It proved to be troublesome.

Now on to regular forum matters. Some questions... Is Piney still alive? Boltsniper, are you still on cranking out shenanigans I wish I could have? Are the regulars still here or have the noobs run us over? Any groundbreaking mods? New Admins/mods? Ah!! It's been too long! Someone update me!

Gentlemen, I apologize for my lack of communication, especially to my customers. I thank you for choosing Artemis Arms and hope you will enjoy future modifications brought to you by me.

Nerfer34 is going to be happy. I think he was the one that was complaining about his nerf guns not being returned to him after a year and stuff. Pineapple is still around and Boltsniper has his own website and released his SCAR Shotgun a little while ago...

Not really a shotgun, just has shotgun-like pump-action cocking.

www.boltsniper.com

I'm not sure if he finished the site before you left but if not there it is.

And Talio forgot his password and hadn't been here for months, and now he's back. Which makes everyone happy.

All the other admins with the exception of Pineapple are presumably too busy with college, work and other things to be here often.

What position, I happen to play football at my highschool, D Tackle.

Hey Starbucky, glad to know you're alive. I was worried.

Yeah, lots of folks were speculating about your presumed demise. And now you know why White Dog never got beyond just modifying my own stuff, and business kept on the local level. So many variables to contend with, not to mention the time required to get things out.

The gang's all fine. We (myself, Death, ompa) were promoted to "Ambassador" status earlier this year sometime. Basically backup for Shindig and Talio.

To correct NerfMonkey, it's not as though I have tons of spare time on my hands to twiddle my fingers and peruse the NerfHaven forums. I work 60 hours a week, attend school, tend to my hobbies (fishing, kayaks, boat building), and spend another 20 hours a week with my family doing whatever they want to do.

The secret is time management.

I play no video games, or online games, except for 1-2 hours a week on an online flight simulator.

I don't watch TV, except for the local and national news.

We don't go to movie theaters, and watch a very limited amount of DVDs.

I function extremely well on 5 hours of sleep a night . 5 hours.

I go online probably 3-5 hours a day, most of that work-related. I keep online but am often away from the computer. I go to NH when I can to check and moderate the forums as necessary. Sometimes 2-3 times in a day. Sometimes every other day.

I'm just the most visible admin on for now. That will change, promise you that. Talio is back.

[AODL]

Wow, so many people, previously thought dead (or in a coma in your case.) are popping up everywhere.

[elf avec gun]

Carrtoon is still missing aswell as General Primevil. Both disappeared shortly after attending a war...

[Starbuck]

Ah, Piney. So glad to see you alive and kickin'. You old farts have a tendancy to drop dead (damn heart attacks). Glad to hear everyone is good and Talio found his way back.

When you walk into your basement/workshop and you have a sense of dread come about you when you are getting ready to modify a Nerf gun, you know something is wrong. That's how bad it got. Time management is a skill I am slowly learning. Slowly. Very slowly.

I played tight end in football. I'm more of a receiver, flexing out wide in a shotgun offense.

Sad to hear some of the veterans are m.i.a.

Isn't Viper missing, too? Haven't seen him in a while.

Expect an e-mail tomorrow, my good man. It's 1:35 am here.

I'm sorry about the whole mess.

On the football topic, I play Tight end and Strong Safety. Its kiind of a wierd combonation. I like TE but you get absolutly crushed when catching the pass right over the middle.

How fast are you guys in terms of running a 40 yard dash?

I run a 4.78 which is pretty good.

Starbuck, did you recieve my email?

Thanks

I'm slow as molasses, but thats cause I play line. Natch. I'm working out more, and once frisbee at lunch starts back up, that should help alot.

Nah, I played safety way back in the day. It's fun.

When I was at UT last summer, I was clocked in at 4.77. However, you have to consider that I'm 6'5" 250 pounds, too. With my size I usually don't worry about defensive backs too much. I usually go right on over them.

Jack, got your guns packed, but post office closed before I could get there. I'll try to get them out tomorrow, just depends on traffic this nutty holiday season.

Also, I have one person's guns unclaimed. By my records, they belong to lilsniper. Lilsniper, e-mail me at chubsmartin at gmail dot com and I'll get your stuff back to you plus compensation. I need to get in contact with you.
