I'd been playing with the Source SDK and Visual Express 2005, and found myself increasingly interested by the information on offer here. I had a cool idea for a mod which, sadly, probably isn't legally viable right now as it uses too many tf2 models. However, now that another nugget of coolness is forming in my mind, I'm going to continue to use and contribute to this community in the meantime. I'm also quite concerned with putting in an effort to develop the site actively; I'll be trying to improve the presentability and usefulness of all articles I come across, when I have free time.
