1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
I took a break from the site for a while because I was pretty busy and only recently came back. (In fact, I only found out about the hacking and new site a few weeks ago.) I'm subscribed to the RSS feed now, so I visit whenever I see a new video that interests me. So probably something like two or three times a week?

2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
Rarely. I tend to go on binges where I post here a lot, but run into a problem where I'm just...a member of way too many sites and it's hard to balance them all. ^^; There's nothing wrong with the forums, community or the site, I just have bad time management skills.

3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
I don't have any issues with the site that I feel MUST be changed, other than having a back button for the archive, I think.

4. What would you like to see more of?
I really enjoy it when the Brigade members or other community members get things going that has a lot of community participation, like the voting for the anime awards, live streams, JO's trivia...stuff like that.

5. What would you like to see less of?
I can't think of anything in particular.

6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)
Not as far as I know!

7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)
Professor Otaku: He's probably the reviewer with which I have the least amount of similarities in taste, and he's trashed a few shows I really love, so I tend to take his opinions with an amount of skepticism. I don't hold it against him or anything, it's his job to be critical, I just go into his reviews knowing that there's a high chance I won't agree. I've gotten to where I only watch his review videos when I'm already interested in the anime he's covering. I like some of his more comedy-based videos like "life lessons" though.

Arkada: He's one of the first reviewers that I saw from the site, and one of the reasons I got interested in the site. I think his videos are probably the most well put together of the Brigaders, I love his intro and bumpers and in general his editing and such is just really, really good. I don't always agree with his taste, but even when I don't I think he argues his points well and I understand where he's coming from. I think he's my favorite Brigader at this point.
(I kinda chuckled when he mentioned in a recent Vlog that writing his scripts is the hardest part for him, though. I'm an English major and sometimes I feel like I want to take a red pen to his blog posts and suggest ways to edit or clean them up or something. That's just me being nitpicky though, and the scripts of his videos always sound natural and clear so it's not that big of a problem.)

Vixen: I'm often surprised about how positive and almost nice(?) she can be toward the anime she reviews, since her persona in the little group cartoon-y bits is so...sadistic? Sometimes I think she's almost a little too nice, but I don't mind too much since it sort of balances out Professor Otaku. I usually watch her stuff and enjoy it! I also think she's probably the best about interacting with the community, which I really, really appreciate.

(I'm honestly not too fond of her intro, though. It comes across to me as being obviously...amateur? Which is a shame because I think her reviews are higher quality than the opening really "sells" them as being. I don't want to be too critical of it since I know Vix and Rabbit worked on it, but I think it could stand to be improved on.)

JesuOtaku: I watched a few of JO's videos on YouTube and they left an impression on me, so when I rediscovered her on TGWTG (along with Arkada--I think he was mentioned on a blog there?) it led me to the D2 Brigade. Of all the reviewers I think she's the most analytical, which I really appreciate. I always feel that she gives a show a fair shake, even when she doesn't like a show I love. Overall her tastes are the most similar to mine so between that and her review style I tend to rely on her reviews the most when trying to decide what anime to look into. I don't think she's quite as entertaining to watch as Arkada is, but she's still one of my favorites. I'm really hoping she gets back to the Inbetweeners series on Trigun, I was absolutely loving following along with it.

Malakye: I honestly feel like I don't know too much about him. I think I've mostly just seen him in the group cartoon things and not much else? I like his persona/character OK in those I suppose. Maybe I've just missed his other stuff?

I don't have any strong opinions on the newer Brigaders since I just started coming back to the site and haven't had the chance to check out many of their videos yet, I'm sorry. ^^;

8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?
I think it's absolutely reasonable, and you're still updating frequently enough. I wouldn't complain about more content, of course, but I still find plenty to watch and look forward to on the site.

9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?
Nah. I've never been very fond of blogs tied into a site like that so I've never really been interested in using them.

10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
I don't currently have a site, but I've been interested in getting into reviewing more so if I did I'd love to affiliate! My brother and his girlfriend have been talking about starting a site together, too--if they follow through with their plans, I'll recommend you guys to them!

11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?
Definitely! Although I'd probably use the main site to watch your videos more often since Youtube's copyright stuff tends to be...problematic. But yeah, I'd subscribe to you guys.

12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?
I haven't recently, but I've enjoyed it in the past. I like that it's a chance to hear you guys be a little more casual and just chat to each other about what you're watching and that sort of thing. It's a nice change of pace.

13. What do you like the most about D2?
The wide variety of taste represented by the reviewers. It really helps you guys cover a large amount of material and opinions.

14. What do you like the least about D2?
I hate saying this (since I know the art was done by Brigaders and fans), but sometimes I think the artwork in the layout makes the site look like one you're not supposed to take too seriously, which kind of clashes with the more professional (but still fun) tone your videos tend to take. Like Vix's intro, I think it sort of lowers your expectations for the quality of the videos--or at least, it did when I first checked out the site. I honestly don't know if this is actually an issue or if I'm just a total snob though. I've noticed the quality of the artwork has gone up recently so that helps a lot!

15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?
Hopefully the stuff I brought up doesn't seem too harsh or nitpicky--I love you guys! I just figured it'd be the most helpful if I was completely honest, so...yeah. ^^;

1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
It depends. During summer break when all I have to do is go to work I visit a few times a week. But when I have school and work I usually only visit once in a while.
2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
I post once or twice a week, sometimes more if I find a topic that interests me.
3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
I’m not sure how I would do this, but I wouldn’t mind it being more community-oriented. I would also suggest a little bit more regulation of content in the forums because sometimes I come across things I find a little offensive. (That is nit-picky, though). It would also be great to have more livestreams or something with which we can sometimes chat with the Brigaders, because I like to discuss anime and can’t talk about it in real life because none of my friends are anime fans.
4. What would you like to see more of?
I really enjoy the cross-overs and would love to see more of those. I also really love all the countdown videos from all of the Brigaders and if possible would like to see more of those.
5. What would you like to see less of?
Sometimes I come across videos put up by the Brigaders that feel a bit rushed, and personally I would rather the Brigaders take their time making the videos rather than put something up hurriedly just because they feel they should put something up. (They are still fun to watch, though). I also would like it if people would stop getting into arguments, but that’s probably unavoidable.
6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)
I have not noticed anything but will keep an eye out.
7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)
I like all of the Brigaders equally, for different reasons. JO is critical but not mean-spirited, Ark is funny, Vix is conversational and friendly, and Prof is witty and clever. I’m not as familiar with some of the other members, but I like all of the Brigaders and respect their opinions. Sometimes the Brigaders can be a little judgmental, but I understand that is their job.
8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?
Personally, being a college student myself, I understand it perfectly and don’t mind at all.
9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?
I use the fan blogs, and I usually post something I want to have questions answered about or something really short about something I have watched recently that I want to tell people about.
10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
Thatguywiththeglasses or ANN forums, if possible?
11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?
I do have one, but I hadn’t realized there was a D2 youtube account.
12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?
Yes, I’ve listened to a few. I find them very enjoyable and rather like watching Azumanga Daioh. It has lots of distinct personalities, disturbing trains of thought, and awkward silences.
13. What do you like the most about D2?
My favorite thing is connecting with other anime fans and getting recommendations from people whose opinions I trust.
14. What do you like the least about D2?
If Vixen wouldn’t mind putting some more warnings on her videos when she reviews explicit stuff I would appreciate that. (She does do that for a lot of them, but all of them would be great). I hadn’t realized Boku no Pico was…what it was, and I was traumatized. I also hadn’t realized that her cross-over review with Hitch was a hentai and I was once again traumatized. (I’m not as thick-skinned as Vixen is).
15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?
I love the crossovers, especially Prof and Ark’s review of Naruto. I also am starting to think that Prof and I are the only two people on the planet who don’t like Ouran High School Host Club.

Location: The relm of fiction.
1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
A: At least twice a week if not once a day to check out the new videos.

2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
A: Not too often as I have enough extra stuff I want to do, though the times I have have been pretty awesome.

3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
A: I can't really think of anything really important that needs to be done. All the basic things for a site like this seem to be done well enough.

4. What would you like to see more of?
A: Properly implemented interaction between the Brigaders.

5. What would you like to see less of?
A: Videos that tend to just be pointless/filler.

6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)
A: Nothing that I tried needs fixing, though it's not like I've explored the entire site looking for problems.

7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)
A:
Proff: Great idea. Love watching videos about topics that interest me, but I don't force myself to see every video.

Ark: He's just awesome. We tend to have similar taste and I watch every episode of his and look forward to every review of his.

Vixen: Like Proff I'll watch when I'm interested, but I'm not really into fan service shows, so I don't regularly watch if I know it's a review of that sort of thing.

JO: My favorite reviewer on this site, and one of my favorites in general, although I'm like it more when she reviews good things rather than something horrible. She's gotten me to try Princess Tutu, Oran High School Host Club, Kino's Journey, Wolf's Rain, Fruits Basket manga, and more. I may not agree 100% all the time, but I get some enjoyment out of each of her videos. Although I do wish she could make her videos on time, but at least she gives warnings on Twitter.

Malakye: He does videos? Weekly Highlights is fun though.

Tsubake (if your counting her): Ehhh, I can give or take. Sometimes amusing, but I find her videos skip-able.

Kagami: Awesome amvs, though I'll admit that I haven't gotten around to seeing all of them :(.

Rabbit: TRONTR is a fresh take on reviewing (in the sense that it's a clean manga review series), though I haven't seen her drawing videos.

Hitch: He's my least favorite reviewer here. The voice doesn't do it for me and we don't really agree ever (and with some of his points, ex:Princess Tutu review, some are good solid points but then he'll bring it down a peg for a really odd reason).

8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?
A: I'll miss the videos, but it makes sense.

9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?
A: Not at all, though I have considered blogging my thoughts on various subjects.

10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
A: I'd say yes, but I don't have a site and I can't think of any off the top of my head.

11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?
A: Yes, and double yes.

12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?
A: Occasionally, but only when I have time or if I know the topic sounds interesting.

13. What do you like the most about D2?
A: The awesome videos.

14. What do you like the least about D2?
A: The not so awesome videos.

15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?
A: Keep being awesome!

1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?

Almost everyday, mostly for the IRC.

2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?

Not too often at all, mostly because I don't usually have anything to contribute to the discussions.

3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?

I wouldn't make any drastic changes to the site.

4. What would you like to see more of?

Reviews, even things like Prof's Quick Hits would be appreciated (I'm not a big fan of In A Word, though). Rabbit's reviews (especially) and videos from Kagami. I'd like to see some one-off Let's Plays as well.

5. What would you like to see less of?

One-joke filler substituting for content, it normally isn't particularly funny.

6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)

I haven't encountered any technical problems with the site.

7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)

Professor Otaku: He's unafraid to speak his mind, which makes him a reliable reviewer but when coupled with his frequent lapses in patience, makes him difficult to talk with. His general opinion can be completely agreeable but his arguments can, at times, be petty. However he is rather similair to me in his tastes, particularly with Shojo.

Arkada: Entertaining and informative with his reviews, I'd appreciate more opportunities to see or hear him like the IRC, Streams or Desu Rattle. Basically he's cool, smart and ever-so-slightly mysterious (yeah, I don't have much to say about Ark).

Vixen: I appreciate her willingness to go through the metaphorical sewers of Anime for us and poke fun at it. Her act could easily have come across as being straw-christian-fundamentalist but instead she approaches it as the sensible anime fan she is. Rabbit makes excellent foil for her and I hope she doesn't get over-used by Vixen, which gives me a good segue...

Rabbit: She has great potential as a reviewer if only her show could pick up some momentum. The site sadly doesn't have a great deal about manga on it, aside from some fan-blogs. Rabbit seems to be the biggest force rectifying this vaccum. I'm sure that, if she's willing to accept them, there are people who will donate a volume or two of manga for her. (Needless to say, she's very cute too!)

Hitch: His backlog of videos wasn't a wise way of giving us a first impression of him, his pre-brigade videos paint a somewhat poor picture of his ability as a reviewer; the initial reviews drag on, aren't particularly funny but are informative enough. His collaboration with Vix shows that he has fixed the editing problem, however the jokes still fall flat.

Kagami: I'm not one to go seek out AMVs but I'm glad I was willing to give Kagami's a try, I like them quite a bit and hope that she's sticks with it. Perhaps she can mix it up by reccomending other AMVs or people who make them.

Malakye: Pocky spot, Sake Shots anything I miss his presense on the site and would be glad to see the return of anything he's done.

Tsubake: I don't particularly enjoy the vids that focus on her but she's good foil for Malakye and Vixen, makes me wonder what it would be like to see her with the other brigadeers.

Lady Fenrir and Rin: They're basically 'Those Two Guys' of D2, if they're interested in being in more video or making their own then I say let them.

Last, but by no means the least...

JesuOtaku: She's the most level-headed personality on the site. The few time's she's ever been sensationalist she's been able to justifly it in her reviews. While I don't believe one can't be genuinely logical in thier thoughts about a show I can typically vividly understand JO's point of view because she does such a good job of describing what a show is about, and more importantly, how it's about it, she can give me the best idea on whether I'd like a show or not.

8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?

I don't mind the change itself, I just hope you lot can stick with it (within reason, of course).

9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?

I do not blog.

10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?

Considering that you gave them JO, affiliation with TGWTG could be good for the site, but I would understand if you lot had reservations about it, I do.

11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?

Yes; and Yes I would.

12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?

Yes; I really enjoy listening to you lot talk about, well, pretty much anything. I ask however that you try to make sure there are at least 3 of you in it at any time.

13. What do you like the most about D2?

The fact that it has introduced me to so many great anime, thank you all. Tied with that is the community, especially the IRC.

14. What do you like the least about D2?

The schedule slips, but you lot have the courtesy to warn us and I know to be patient.

15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?

I'll get back to you on that one, if I think of something.

1. Not very often since the older post thing isnt there anymore which makes it difficult for me to catch up on new videos since my firefox's colors are set up in a way that makes the menus save for the lettering completely transparent, making it all the more diffcult to find the new stuff you guys do

plus I was keeping track of everyones new videos with the older post thing to begin with, and the older post thing allowed me to keep track of not just one or two presenters but everyone, plus it gave me an idea of how behind I was when it came to the videos all of you were putting out Now I have no idea whats old or whats new if I dont check the site for awhile

plus now with this new system I have to manually look at everyones body of work to find out what new stuff they just did during the time I didnt check here, and when your not in the mood to do that it kind of deters me from doing so.




2. Not very often because well I just really have nothing to say about anime as I've been kind of getting out of it as frankly I'm kind of embarased to say I like anime nowadays since its hard to find anything that will hold up to scrutiny from outsiders

plus I think its been quite some time since Jesu otaku spent any time here too and she hasnt done anything regarding the trigun reviews, which were something I was seriously looking forward to as she was compairing the anime to the manga, which I've never read and I was finding the differences quite interesting

although I did just catch the first episode of orans high school club or whatever its called on funimation and I actually liked it, so dont count me out just yet when it comes to anime.

and yes the guy who loves big bad gangster movies like goodfellas, casino and get carter 1971 also likes ouran highschool host club...... dont ask me how that happened, I guess I've just got really odd eclectic tastes





3, get the older post thing back asap and simplfy the show menus so you can just click on a persons name and it takes you to a subpage that shows you all of their shows like on that guy with the glasses, rather than having to click on their name and look at their shows one at a time as to make it easier to multitask.


4. shows that are unique that are completely different and just a blast to watch like Baccano that people might have missed.

5. the more common shows, basically I'd like to see more the hidden jems of anime that are more, well good movie like that could hold up with the best stuff hollywood made back in the 1980's when the actually valued good story telling and writing rather than money (*dolphin noise* don simpson, Jerry Brookheimer (*dolphin noise* csi crap) and michale bay)

6. not to my knowledge



7. Hitch is the only one I dont really care for, he seems like a good guy but he just seems to plain jane for my tastes when it comes to his reviews as I like a little bit of insanity in my reviews like doug or nash over at that guy with the glasses where as he seems too early linkara like, nice but I cant help but feel a little put off by him

eh maybe thats too harsh but I cant help but feel that the style kind of review that would suit him best would be the last angry geek's current style.

Rabbit: I'd like to see her in more reviews like the one vix did for maid sama reciently, she was a good foil to vix in that one.

Kagami: I'd like to see more of her, maybe in a review of some sort just to see what kind of reviewing style she would have as I'm just kind of curious to learn more about her here as she seems to be pretty good at making amv's and I'm kind of curious to see how that would transfer over to reviews.




8. no Idea what that is

9. nope I dont to like to blog.

10. dont have a site although getting the rest of the group on that guy with the glasses to some capacity wouldnt be such a bad idea since it would be a win win, you guys get more views, and thus more revenu to run the site and it'd be easier for people to follow you.


11. nope, although I would bookmark it and follow it that way.

12. sometimes, its fun to listen to you guys talk while I'm doing something else.

13. for the most part its a great group of people and I cant really find any fault with you guys.

14. jesu otaku never visits the forums, never finished the trigun review and I miss the older posts button on the main page and at this point with the trigun reviews again I'd have to watch all of them first before the next one just to give a damn again, although I'd have to find them first and I have no idea where the hell they are either.


15. yeah dont go to england, sorry I just wanted to use that line from snatch somewhere, but seriously not really.

1. How often do you visit D2? If it is not very often, why?
Once a day at least. For videos and any interesting forum posts.

2. How often do you post on the forums in D2? If not very often, why?
I have bursts of activity, but largely I am of the mind that my thoughts and opinions don't matter. At least around here.

3. If you could change anything at all, what would you change about the site?
Nothing that I can think of.

4. What would you like to see more of?
Nothing comes to mind.

5. What would you like to see less of?
Hitch's beard, but it's his face so it is what it is.

6. Is there anything “broken” with the site that the Brigaders do not seem to be aware of? (Links, search function, etc.)
Nothing comes to mind.

7. How do you feel about each of the Brigaders? (Honest but polite, please, and give your reasons.)
JO is well and good but not as consistent in posting. Unless I am missing something. Which is possible and very likely.
Vixen is just fine. She and JO are my favorites.
Arkada I like. Not much more to say on that really.
Prof. has grown on me but I don't know if i'd allow him to buy me drinks.
Hitch. He's gotten better and I am glad he as gotten rid of hentai side characters.
Mal lacks presence.

8. How do you feel about the MWF and weekends schedule change?
I am o.k. with it.

9. Do you use the fan blogs? What do you post?
I have had no reason to use the fan blogs. That is not to say that I won't in the future but nothings come up yet.

10. Are you interested in site affiliation with your site? Or do you have suggestions for D2 site affiliations?
Very much so yes.

11. Do you have a YouTube account? Would you subscribe to the D2 youtube account?
Yes and No. I prefer to come to the site and watch the videos that way I can add to you bottom line.

12. Do you listen to the D2 Podcast? Why or why not?
No. It's not you. I am just seldom interested in podcasts in general.

13. What do you like the most about D2?
The fun and the Community/Friendship between the brigadiers.

14. What do you like the least about D2?
About the site itself: nothing. About one or two things that happen within the site/videos: I will not say. It will not be changed.

15. Anything else you’d like to comment on?
No. I am good.

1. During the school year I would come on a daily basis to check out whats new in the forums and to see if anything interesting was happening in the IRC. During the summer I would only visit once every few weeks because I had lost interest at the time. Now that school has come back I will probably be on more often.

2. I post in the forums every now and then. I'm the kind of person who likes to create new topics for people to post in and make cool conversations. When I try to respond in someone else's topic by the time I can think of something to say in another topic the party has already ended and everyone has moved on. I'm hoping I can make more posts that will do more than just get some nice comments for a few days then slowly die off.


3. The main thing I would like to change on the site in particular would be here on the forums and I have a few ideas to do so.

Spoiler: show
1.Create sub topics in each forum. For example it would be a good idea to give Manga its own thread. In the anime thread you can make sub folders such as news, characters, genres, music, anime that hasn't made it to the US, a general discussion area, and several others. That could also work for manga as well as other folders that have several pages of topics to shift through.

2. Add a scroll down menu near each folder so that topics can be viewed in different orders. Instead of always seeing them from newest post to oldest post there should be options to view them from most replies to least replies, newest created to oldest created, most active to least active, and more.

3. Give other community members more power in the forums. Maybe older members such those who have the bukkit protector status could also revive topics out of the archives and also have some sort of option to either bump certain topics or somehow be able to rank them so that certain topics that have a good long running don't just eventually die and be sent into the archives. Not sure how it would work but I still think it would be a good idea.


The only other thing I have in mind is too see more activity on the irc channel not just from community members but from the brigaders as well although to be fair it isn't completely their fault and its not something they can control. If other more well known members of the forums came in the irc once in a while *coughcoughdarkseidspacemanduragaandothermemberscoughcough* then maybe it would help boost the irc.

4. Pocky Spot, Desu rattles, Sake shots, other specials, and overall more creativity and ideas.


5. Videos containing one shot jokes, underdeveloped content, and ................. I know a lot of people will flame me for saying this and you guys will be upset as well but I feel I should say it and if you don't want to hear the word I am about to say then don't click the spoiler tab below me that will say I want to see less............

Spoiler: show
excuses



6. The fact that I can't go back and forth on the main page to look at older videos. Don't know if its meant to be that way or not though.


7. I will not state my individual opinions of each brigader but I will say that I respect each and everyone of you and the work that you do for this site. I may disagree with you at times but that is only because of my personal and moral values. You all have your strengths and your weaknesses but when the time comes you always manage to pull through.

8. If you can hold it and keep solid content on those days then I have nothing against it.


9. I don't use the blogs.


10. None that I know of or can think of.


11. Maybe.


12. Yes I do because I like to hear the interesting things you guys like to say as well as hearing your thoughts on opinions on certain subjects.


13. The community and the brigader's attention and dedication for that community.


14. To be honest its sometimes some of the ways you handle certain criticism and how distant you sometimes appear to be to the community. I know it sounds contradictory and to be fair you all have lives and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of copyright law or online rule that says or encourages that you affiliate yourselves with your fans as least as possible and to be fair it seems like your trying to fix that problem.


15. I'm sure that life is tough and doesn't exactly help you when trying to make more content. Your only human after all and can't attend to our needs 24/7 so don't feel to fret when you can't make a video in time or something didn't come out as good as you expected it to be. You have good points and bad points. People will always criticize or troll you based on your thoughts and although it can happen to anyone how you handle those criticisms and trolls show us the person that behind the computer screen rather than in front of it. Feel free to take my thoughts however you will.

I have lots of other ideas in mind that I may share at later times. Feel free to comment me here or pm me if you have any questions or thoughts you would like to discuss.
