    it’s really offensive, actually. but i can not deny Volund of his freedom of speech, and i can not instill limitations on accessible information. so to answer your question, you should add this to the gallery, AND it’s offensive. i can only hope that readers try to understand all perspectives on the matter.

    Add tplacella, zycerak, symantec and shamatoz, they're significant figures for different reasons. Maybe also add nsb and featured (tracks and ghosts), provide your own definitions for them.
     
  18. Azgr00

    Azgr00 Well-Known Member Team Helicopter Official Author

    Sure, but I thought the Zycerak definition by Volund was a joke, and it was offensive (Zycerak said it was offensive), so I will make a definition for it and all others.

    Man, just now I noticed that it's actually September, not August :rofl:
