    Hello everyone,

    It would be hard to argue after Sunday's Funday that our community needs any rejuvenation at all because what we experienced that day is what being part of a tight community is all about, but I want more. I want us to grow.

    I realize the honeymoon phase of BF3 came to an end about a month ago and we are now in somewhat of a divorce state as players become frustrated with DICE's ineptitude. We've trimmed a server, trimmed some players, lost some players, but have ultimately survived the "first pass" of a new game. The phase when most clans flip the doorsign over to "Closed" and move onto another new game.

    Well, we're sticking around. I don't care if NNG gets widdled down to just me, I plan on keeping this thing going.

    I've decided to formulate my thoughts into a numbered list because they're going to be all over the place.

    1: We've buffed our administrative staff. Welcome Magnus, The Biz, and 1stVirus to the patrol squad. We now have 10 admins, probably about 7 of which are active, so we have no excuse to let the server fall off the radar like it did recently.

    2: I plan on expanding us into other games as time goes on. Arma III, R6 Patriots, ...

    3: We continue to receive many donations. From NNG members and non members. This tells me we're doing something right.

    4: Our news section of the website is empty. Is the site necessary? I know the forums are, but what about the site? If it is necessary, I need help. Especially from those of you who mentioned lending a hand. !?!?!?

    5: We need to spread the word on Battlelog and other community sites. NNG's catchyness is that we're a mature group with funding, servers, sites, slick forums, who actually play the fucking objective when together. AND WE HAVE FUN. There are people looking for a group like us. We just need to help them find us.

    I sense a bit of a lull in NNG right now. We've had some people move on. Some people fighting hardware issues or even more importantly life priorities. And that's expected.

    Looking to give NNG a kick in the butt and just wanted to put this out there.

    I will continue funding the servers (with all of your much appreciated donations). I will continue to run these forums and tweak them to make them better and better. The doors will remain open. NNG isn't going anywhere.

    Thanks for all your continued support and interest.

    Feedback, comments, concerns welcome.

    I agree with everything you said. I think the news page is a nice addition to the website, it's just that there hasn't been alot of news to report lately, I'm still waiting on news regarding the new DLC/Patch. I'll work harder on finding something interesting to write about=-COFEE

    It's great to see Ghost's passion for not only the game but NNG as a whole.

    Ghost you are right the game seems like it has slowed down but on the positive side NNG still has a very solid core of skilled players representing it. I am glad to see the additional help on the admin side because it seems like all the dbags are coming out of the woodwork lately.

    As for the website, I know that I am impressed every time I come to the NNG website. The front page is fantastic with all the news/info/tips about the game/comunity. I know it takes alot to keep going and I am willing to help out however I can so just let me know.

    If you guys haven't checked out the other games Ghost was talking about you should check them out becasue they look awesome.

    Arma 3
    Here is a video


    R6 or Rainbow6

    Also, YES, you can do this in game.

    You can air lift, supplies, tanks, jeeps, humvees, and even downed jets (to bring them back to base for repair).
