    As the subject line says.MY article about the 2005 BotCon has been published in the Newsletter*W00T* :rock 

    I ACTUALLY contributed something to the fandom.It's kind of a cool feeling to be honest.

    So what'd you guys*The ones who GOT the newletter*think of the article as a whole?

    I noticed that also when I read the newletter. Thats great! It was so well written I thought you worked for the Collector's Club. I liked the part in the article where you described meeting people from the TF Boards there at BotCon.

    Sorry, but I felt that some of it just came across as completely false, particularily the bit about the attendence which contradicts your own statements on the board.

    Whoa, Phazer! Shades of flamebaiting...

    Back up that statement with previous threads so we have something to discuss about.

    Congrats man , feels good don't it.

    Ive had a few articles make it in EGM and I was all tickled over it.


    Even if the article contradicts what you say here in anyway, its all good since the article should benefit the readers & Botcon more than reflect any negative comments from the author. Thats what this place is for lol
    It was a great read man

    I saw your article in the newsletter but haven't read it yet so here's my review:

    You mentioned me - great article worthy of the Pulitzer prize.
    You didn't mention me - not worthy of lining my bird cage :D 

    j/k

    In all seriousness congrats on getting your article published :thumb

    Thanks for the compliment CM :thumb 

    AFAIK I don't recall mentioning anything about attendence in the article.But then again I submitted it back in late September/early October.So the contents of the article are a blur to me by now

    And honestly I can't remember what I said about attendance on this or any other board(Not that I care since it's just an opinion & opinions change).So if what's in the article differs then what I've posted.That means my personal opinion on the issue changed w/o me realizing it

    Yeah I mentioned meeting you M_M plus a few other people on the board(IIRC I mention meeting Draven,KidDynamite and others).In fact of what I recall of what I submitted.Meeting people was the main highlight of the Con for me.I went more to socialize & learn the different facets of TFs then to simply buy toys
