First, Some Much Needed Plugs/Thanks

I would normally frown on using the very first post as a promotion for any individual/corporation. Cries of "SPAM!!!" or "BANHAMMERED!!!" would usually escape my lungs as my mighty fingers swiftly flowed across the keyboard in an astounding show of force and dexterity, hurling the offending parties into the fiery depths from winst (wenst?) they came. However, this first post is mine, and I shall do with it as I see fit. And that means shoutouts! Please note though, I am not getting anything out of these. I haven't told anyone I'm doing them, or really want to. This is more for me to remember how I was treated when I first got on the island than anything else.
