Buzz Contest Extravaganza! NyxxieV30


The Bootleggers Buzz is celebrating it's 100th issue! With an issue published weekly from the beginning, 100 weeks have gone REALLY fast! By the time you know it, we will reach our 104th issue and two years since the first publishing of the Buzz will be released. We have all been through a lot, we went from a team of three to a team of ten, back down to a team of four, and up to a team of eight. Finding players dedicated to write articles on a weekly basis is few and far in between, but I am glad to say we have an amazing group at the moment.

Throughout the 100 issues, we have published a total of 1,906 articles and have went through over 30 writers and 3 editors. Through hundreds of crew takeovers and over 15 promotions of Help Desk Operators, Moderators and Administrators, the Buzz is glad to be there through it all and we are certainly glad you are here with us.

I have been here since the beginning of the first issue. I remember going through each of my ideas with my co-editor Air and BSF2000. I am glad that the ideas I got implemented into the Buzz were such a huge success. Not to get sappy, I do believe I and everyone else who made the Buzz what it is right this very moment, are very proud to see The Buzz be such a huge success. Between some small issues, some large ones, some boring ones, some exciting ones, all the hard work and dedication is the same and we hope you enjoy another 100 issues to come (unless BSF2000 throws a reset our way, which I promise we'll cover thoroughly!)

So without further a due, I bring to you the Bootleggers Buzz Issue # 100 Contest Extravaganza. Over $2,358,009,943 has been given away and we are ready to be giving away even more (double that) and I am sure you are ready to have the chance to be given a lot of money.
