HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY, GUNSLINGERS!!!
It is crazy to think that the Gunslingers group has been together for five years as of June 2012. We started off as a ten member in-game only clan back in 2007, and now we have over 4,000 members and a uniquely welcoming attitude. Ever steadfast in our commitment in defying the perceived laws of clan tradition, we continue to support our members in their freedom of being treated like the rest of us from day-one of their membership in GS, game with them around their demanding work schedules, and promising a homebase to their gaming experience that will always be respectful and civil. A person needs not look far to see that is not truly common on the internet, particularly within gaming clan circles.
Thank you GS Leaders, Toezer, Korchie, Scars, BJS, Scope, Misfit, Slammer, Balki, goppfather, Teufel, Fed Architect, FishinNick, conbrio, Captain Scarlet, and BlastingSlick1, for your proactive dedication towards fielding concerns and helping the rest of us get the most out of the GS experience. Your presence has made a profound difference.
Thank you Gunslinger members for putting weight to my recruiting words. It is quite easy to post recruiting threads claiming such and such attributes to a group experience, but it is all of you through your practice of treating each other with respect, always welcome new members in their Introduction threads, volunteered willingness to help out your fellow members online (and, at times, offline), and working from a mindset of paying forward civility that have made Gunslingers grow throughout the years. Thank you.
Also, we have had a staggering number of new members walk through our saloon doors in the last twenty-one days just in time to take part in our 5th Anniversary. Normally, I would copy the list here, but in the interest in keeping this post of reasonable length, I will instead supply the following URL:

We would love to have you as a member, and, when it comes to offering a home for parent and hard working adult gamers, more the merrier!
Again, we are celebrating the Gunslingers 5 Year Anniversary throughout the month of June. We have a number of events planned to honor such a community milestone, and some of which we already have announced. Here is that growing list:
GS Anniversary HeadQuarters - An entire forum section dedicated to all things anniversary related.
Anniversary Give-Away - All members are welcome to throw their name in the hat for a chance of winning an actual Frosty Pints mug.
Anniversary Raffle - All members are welcome to throw their name in the hat for a chance of winning a free rental from Redbox.
Frosty Pints Olympics - Throughout the month of June, we will be running a series of tournaments spanning over several games. Each will have a theme. All of them will be about catching up with friends we have all made throughout the year.
Arcade Tournament - Spanning until the end of June, aim your gun towards the top of the high score list for the game, West Gunfighter, installed in our GS Arcade. The prize? Your forum title will be changed to "2012 Arcade Champion."
...and much, much more to come!
Regardless if you are a current or a potential member, thank you for taking the time to read about our Anniversary.

Our ever welcoming Canadian friend, Dunkaroo69, has become a Gunslingers Leader. Congratulations and thank you for your help!
Perhaps you want to toast Dunkaroo69. Perhaps you want to toast the end of another work week. Perhaps you just want to give toast for toast's sake. Well, in that case, uncork those bottles of wine and uncap those bottlenecks because you are invited to the (in)famous GS tradition otherwise known as Frosty Pints!
Frosty Pints takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings, which actually means all day Friday and Saturday due to having members from time zones across the globe. (Quite the bender, huh!?) The busiest times tend to be from 3:00pm PST and on.
