Hello forum:

After a bit of a hiatus due to personal chaos I decided to create an account on 2.0. With a little luck, this time around I'll be more active than in the previous incarnation. A little about me:

28 y.o, Leo
Chicago, IL resident
Aspiring graphic artist, currently working 3rd shift accounting and security (brains and brawn

) - hence the tag graveyard... cute, eh?
Student, in progress for 2nd BA - Web Development
Recently returned to martial arts training
Amateur sword customizer

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

Thanks whitefeathers:

Formally I've studied TKD almost to JR Black, Kyokushinkai Karate until Blue, I would've stayed longer, but I left the state for school, and the dojo closed not long after I returned with my first BA. Currently, I'm studying Taijutsu at the Japanese Cultural Center underneath a 10yr student of Hatsumi... I also have a year of bar brawls and restraint locks courtesy of previous bouncer work...

Most of my interest is in katana, though I did hop at the chance to get the buy one pick one deal in the SBG sword store with the GSOW and the HT Bastard Sword... the GSOW I'm gifting to my Security Manager... I'm also thinking about Darksword Armory's Katzbalger.... Giving a nod to my heritage

Collection wise, mine is nonexistent to some of the very impressive collections I've seen in the threads... I'm very particular and I like to mod those I do have... Currently I have a Hanwei Raptor-Unokubi in pieces while I make it mine

BTW I can't remember any ''graveyard'' from the old forum, did you have another name there ... ?
	I suffer from an acute, pathological, addiction to blade collecting... I lied. I enjoy every moment of that condition.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346

blackngold: Dallas is the worst place in the country to fly in and out of. High winds can delay your flight by 6.5 hours and leave you sitting on the tarmac for an additional 2 (ask me how I know)... Oct 31, 2024 2:21:20 GMT

nerdthenord: Oh I’ve been there lol, I’m in Texas. Dallas is certainly not high on my travel list lol Oct 27, 2024 8:35:23 GMT

Arlequin: Come to Dallas, we can be your worst

nerdthenord: I just got back from 10 days in Chicago and Milwaukee, absolutely amazing. Chicago was easily my favorite big City I have ever been to Oct 25, 2024 13:59:11 GMT

nerdthenord: Very horrible news, I'm so sorry Oct 25, 2024 13:58:20 GMT

alinkinthechain: This is sad news Oct 16, 2024 18:58:13 GMT
