for those of you new, Dark was, no is the best FS modeler there ever will be.

It's hard to compare him to today's modelers, as we have much better tools available now. What made his models especially remarkable was that there were no good converters or pof utilties in those days, and you had to edit the files manually to a large extent. Custom models were very rare back then due to the amount of work it took to make them.

I remember everything below - not including - Dark. I know he made the FS2 Valkyrie, but not much else.

And the Derek Smart thing... has that been so long? I know I've been around a while when he came, yet I don't remember Dark who is listed just above DS.

And what about Setekh? I thought he was still around under a different name.

I remember most of it apart from FrogButt and UBB, even lurked on Nodewar back in the Stryke9 and Tiara days.

It was a pity about Lightspeed leaving, he was a great artist, though, I'd say we have other artists on here who can match him nowadays.

As someone who sucks at all forms of art, I'd have to say the more artists the better. Also he was quite excellent.

That he was, but it was his own choice to leave. If he chooses to come back, then I'm sure he will be welcome.

I wasn't saying we should hold him captive in a basement and force him to mod  :D . . .

I was merely stating that he is missed.

We do that with most of the SCP team anyway.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Wait, was Fattony Anon? Or is there something else he won't live down?
