Ladies and gentlemen…….I come before you this day with one of my proudest announcements!! This month there will be no word games, no hiding the winner’s name, no huge build-up to this announcement.
SBG’s Member of the Month for October, 2008……GRAMDRAGON4 !!!!!!!!!
Gram, as most of us know her, is the ultimate epitomy of the *perfect* SBG member!! She was one of the earliest members to join this guild, clear back when it first formed. She has remained true-green in her loyalty to the guild and it’s members for all of those years. She has given probably more of her time, effort and love to this family, than almost anyone else, short of Yoda & w3.
Gram has never faultered in her holding on to her roots. She has always remembered how important it is in being nice to new players, regardless of how long you’ve been here. She is very quick to offer great advice and a helping hand to those very new players who may be sort of floundering around in these huge halls of Neodaq. She has also never forgotten how important it is to a new member to receive the kudos for smaller accomplishments than some of us may have already achieved.
Gram has given many hundreds of hours of time in helping set up many of the original rules, shops, and policies that have made this family such a strong and fun place to come to everyday. In the past, Gram has ran many of her own events and, still to this day, competes in those now run by newer players. Her generousity, while huge, has never out-weighed her compassionate, detailed descriptions over countless posts, to direct new players down a long-lasting path of self-existance and success. I’d say Gram strongly believes the old addage of…”give a man a fish and you feed him for a day…TEACH him to fish and you feed him forever!” Gram, we thank you for all the very wise wisdom you have so willingly shared and poured into this great guild we call the SBG!
As time passed, Gram believed it was time for her to step back and allow some fresh blood and ideas to rise to the top of the guild. She more or less retired at that time, but stayed pretty active within the Daq. When total upheaval came to the guild body in Mar-Ap. of ’07, Gram was one of the first to step forward to offer her help and assisstance to right a faultering situation. Her strong, loving hands, once again, helped restore control, calm the stormy seas, and yes, even helped cut out the cancer that threatened the very existance of this fine family. There was never a moment when she asked ..”why do I have to leave my comfortable chair again?” She merely pitched in with all her knowledge and experience and accomplished yet another tough challenge that came before her. Gram, there are only enough members I can count on one hand, that I hold in higher respect than yourself. It is with the utmost pride, that I am allowed to present you with this much deserved award!
Gram has now decided that all things are set in such a fashion, that it’s once again the right time for her to step back and allow the new blood to rise to the surface. W3 bestowed on Gram the highest honor I can think of, by designating her to be 1 of the original 4 members allowed into the new *Council of Elders*, which is a group of distinguished SBG members that are set in place only to offer time, knowledge, experience and loyalty to the SBG, should that need ever arise again. Gram, we wish only the absolute greatest of things for you in your now 2nd retirement. I hope the need never arises again that calls you out of your easy chair….and that you continue to grace our doorway with your presence, wit and wisdom.
Gram, I’m very happy to announce that you are now approved to display the distinguished plaque for SBG’s Member of the Month in your user lookup, should you so decide. And if you’ll place a junk trade up, I’m sure our esteemed Pres. Mr. Richie, will be paying you a visit.

Having had a web presence since 1997 I have been hosted on a few different companies servers. It is a real pain when you find that either because your current host cannot offer you the tools you need or prices become too competitive elsewhere you have to move. When your sites become large and complex this can be a daunting and unpleasant task. Well, I think I have finally found the perfect host. These folks offer everything you could want in a host along with the best prices around. If you are looking for hosting please have a look using the link below, if you are buying be sure to come back here and use this banner link when you sign up as they will toss me a couple bucks for sending you their way. 
Thanks, w3
