Hey guys, I got my Private badge a while ago, and I was wondering if I could join. Or am I not supposed to be so explicit?
To the Barracks: I've addressed the user in private, so don't worry...I got it covered. :-)

First, congrats to Lizz and Ismael for becoming Icon Mods. Good to know if any icons get out of line, we have two of our finest ready, keeping them in line!
Lizz and Ismael...keeping the rogue icons at bay with their...photoshop...and stuff.
Yeah.
But seriously, congrats you two! As always, the members find a way to make themselves more prestigious by the day!
Next, to Cobra:Sorry about Target falling through - but don't get down on yourself. When the right job comes along, you'll get it! In the meantime, don't forget to enjoy the summer, get some fresh air and some swimming in, and live a little!
Exactly. You'll find somewhere soon enough. Keep it up!
Then, to BoringGuy:
Thanks for directing him, Byte!
And then, last but not least: I have just posted Chapter 25 - You Can't Run Away Forever on the BBS. You'll find out that the past can be a dangerous place - and also discover an interesting link between SlntCobra1 and ByteSlinger. Enjoy!
Highly recommended.

Ouch, I know how you feel... and tetanus shots for a cat bite? Weird. Where I live, they pretty much just let you suffer with the infection and die.
:-/ Interesting. I'm gonna guess you live in the boonies, but I'd have thought there was healthcare all over the US...
Anyways, I was just stopping by to let everyone know that I'm still alive and trying to stay as active as possible.
Good to hear. I'd recommend catching up on my two stories if you haven't already. Also, Byte's story is quite interesting as well. Basically put, she's consistently adding dimensions to her stories. Literally.
Cheers!
Since when did you turn British? :-)

Anyway, here's some official Barracks business. In light of the ongoing Roll Call, the Barracks is going to see some large changes in our roster. Some true greats are leaving our ranks, and we will have some substantial gaps in our officer list. Personally, I don't see this as a bad thing, as it is an opportunity for new members to shine. After all, most of the users that are being honorably discharged were inactive for a while.
Anyway, once our Records Officers complete Roll Call and have fully updated the roster (July 1st), I will be performing an officer shakedown. All roles will be evaluated to see who is active and inactive, and what roles need to be filled. Judging by the current list of users that have responded to the Roll Call as active, we won't have any trouble at all filling those roles.
In the meantime, however, I do have a little surprise for the Barracks that I have been working on. Our current Barracks Forums have served their purpose for a while, but they were never an ideal location. The BBS style is not fun to work with, and is a pain to manage on the back-end. Also, security is not strong. Since the forums were compromised multiple times in the past, there is really no reason we can trust it for confidential work. Therefore I've taken it upon myself to redesign the Barracks Forums and am hosting it on my own server.
You can get to the forums by heading to http://egb.eagleworld.net. Please note that the security on these forums are a bit higher than the previous ones, so you'll need to choose a strong password and wait for me to approve you. If I'm not sure about some people I see signing up, I might send some PM's just to verify. I will then grant you all permissions you're entitled to.
So, feel free to take a look and play around! I'd like to start cutting over to the new forums and am thinking we can be fully cut over by the end of the month. I have already migrated over a good amount of the important posts, and will be doing more as we go along. For example, I'll be migrating our three major stories soon. If you have questions or any suggestions about the new forums, please feel free to post it in the forums. I'll be glad to make adjustments as the Barracks sees fit.
Enjoy!
