http://forum.outpost2.net/index.php/topic,5718.0.html). Before anybody jumps down my throat I'm not trying to do the shameless plug thing, just want to make sure new members know about a project they may be interested in.

There are other projects you may be interested in which you can find here:
http://forum.outpost2.net/index.php/board,67.0.htmlAnd if you'd like to chat real-time with some of our more active members you're always welcome to join us on IRC!

You can get there by following the 'Chat' link in the nav bar or you can hop onto irc.quakenet.org and join the #Outpost2 channel.
Any questions, comments or thoughts by all means ask away. We're happy to have you here!
