There have been new friends come, old friends that left, lamers that got shot out, contests to win and lose at, and not to forget… we’ve been introduced to Man In Hat. It’s been a wild ride these last two years at Outpost10f. We’re covering a lot of ground in this one issue, but Brady and Tom have done an awesome job. They are saviors for this project. I wanted to do it, because I knew that the Yearbook wasn’t going anywhere. My schedule is pretty full with helping run the Communications Department, preparing it for the Anniversary, and running the Tribune. I was so happy when these two stepped up. I knew we would have a great Yearbook.

I remember the first time I realized we even had a Yearbook. Andrew Maxwell asked me to write something as a Lieutenant JG about being a junior officer in this big world we call a chatroom community. It was the fifth anniversary and I was overwhelmed at the least. It’s funny when you think about it. I went from writing an article for the Yearbook to running the Tribune and begging people to take over the Yearbook from year to year.

I’m not the only face that has changed in the OTF community. A lot of new people are in charge and it’s a different generation of OTF we’re seeing here. Some things will never change though and that’s good friends. Essentially the Yearbook and Anniversary are a celebration of friends. We’ve made it to nine years chatting about just about nothing, but we had fun all along the way. That’s what it’s all about, so sit back and remember the laughs from over the last two years. It’s a ride you won’t regret taking.

Thank you to Brady and Tom, Kayana and Cinna, and all their minions that helped out behind the scenes. You are guys are a great troupe and you’ve made a great product. I am proud to have my name on this Yearbook… even if it’s in tiny writing under your names. And thank you to anyone who submitted something. This is YOUR Yearbook! Go read it!
