Aug/Sept updates

[BattlesandDeaths]

First of all, I would like to welcome all of the new members to the forum.  I've noticed we've got some who started posting right away.  Thank you, we appreciate your contributions.

I am impressed with the numbers.  In the past 4 months, we've gained over 250 new members (though most, as can be expected, are a little too intimidated to post or comment and prefer to linger in the shadows.)  As for rank advancements...  We currently have

1  Arena Champion (1000+ posts)  We love you Chase!!!!
0  Seasoned Warriors (500+ posts)
11 Warriors (100+ posts)  (3 more than last time)
11 Greenie Warriors (50+ posts) (2 more than last time)
41 Warriors-in-training (10+ posts) (11 than last time)
57 Plebs (1+ posts) (10 more than last time)

Several members are close to ranking up, lets give them some encouragement.

I am glad that the Russian spammers are being kept at bay, thanks to the help of our awesome moderators.

There is not much else to report at this time.  Hope everyone is healthy and safe.  Feel free to comment any suggestions, salutes or honors.

Best of luck to all of you.
