How do you like the image above? I hate it... and I made it. But that's what eGO looks like without the help of some very talented artists. Lately we've been asking way too much of these talented folks, and quite frankly, burning them out. So, here's my way of giving them a break. My apologies to the art community at large for my lack of talent.
So, why the "no-money" image? It's not to say that eGO isn't able to pay the bills, although we are month to month at best. It's to say that we have heard your complains and will stop hitting you up for donations at every meeting and with every news posting. There is a balance we need to find between getting our finances taken care of and having fun, which is the main goal of eGO. We hope you will forgive us for not managing this better and will enjoy getting back to gaming and talking about gaming.
Another complaint I've heard is that some of you have not received items that you've already paid shipping on. This is unacceptable and will be fixed. Again, we ask for you to forgive us. eGO is not a professional shipping outlet and we are learning as we go. JohnT, by putting in long hours and miles getting to meetings with manufacturers, has acquired a staggering amount of cool gear for the community to enjoy, but getting it to you has been a challenge. We'll work to meet our obligations and will also take any suggestions that you have to help us with shipping matters.
On an unrelated note, the Council has accepted the resignation of DrunkenSailor. Russ has been a long time leader and has done a lot to shape the policies that have helped us to succeed to this day. Russ will be spending more time with his family and getting that roof mended. All of eGO wishes him well and thanks him for his dedication.
