BikerScout007 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Good day, Pathfinders! The Election period is finally behind us and we are ready to keep moving forward, as Pathfinders do. I want to thank you all for your continuing faith in me and the Command team. We really do our best to continue making this the best Detachment in the Legion! And what a year we had! Looking back at the 2018-2019 term, it's almost hard to list everything that was accomplished in that short period of time: We migrated to HostGator, saving the membership hundreds of dollars on hosting fees We got a new URL, 501stpathfinders.com We updated to the latest version of IP Board after many years of running old software We created a new email address and Paypal account to facilitate Web donations The trading cards were relaunched with a whole new look and the old cards were finally rectified so we have better records of who has what The Pathfinders United merch rollout was a huge success The Scout CRL was rewritten from top to bottom to make it even easier to follow The Kashyyyk CRL was rewritten for clarity and to finally add a Level 2 We added vendor lists for each of the costumes to make it easier for potential Pathfinders to get started The Pathfinder Trooping Awards program was relaunched with a new top level ("Ranger") with its own patch and spot on the Pathfinders Hall of Fame. Speaking of which, the old Lancer Wall was replaced with the Pathfinders Hall of Fame, featuring Lancers, Vanguards and Rangers. Our new webmaster, @Shortstack, designed a series of new graphics for the forum in order to bring it up to modern day standards The WIPs and the Level 2 applications were moved into their respective forums to make them easier to find and peruse by the membership More ARTs were created We had another successful Racing shirt run last summer And let's not forget the PATROL TROOPER was added to our roster of costumes! There are probably more things to add to that list, but the important thing to know is that we have no intention of resting on our laurels. Expect more good things in the upcoming term. None of this would have been possible without the great team of Pathfinders who volunteer their time to come on here day after day to help give a hand up to folks in need. I cannot thank all of you enough for your hard work, professional attitude and dedication. The following will be the Pathfinders command team for the upcoming term: @Dart will be staying on as XO; he's been a great help to me over the past year on the Admin side of things and even though he STILL hasn't gone for Lancer (hint, hint), his knowledge of the Scout costume is an asset any DL would want. @plagu3is is staying on as Merch Officer. No one can do Merch like John, and with the Legion's new rules on merch to deal with, we need someone who has a reputation with the LMBOs as being the best in the business. @Nexous is staying on as our PR Officer. He has done a great job at promoting the Pathfinders on our social media platforms, and his ability to work independently has been a great asset to me. Before I can say "Hey Daniel, can you post that one pic--" it's already been done. @Shortstack has proven himself to be a worthy successor to Jim, and I don't know how I could have handled the transition without him. @TK8271 Rogue Trooper and @ScaryGuy will continue to be our Shoretrooper experts and Level 2 reviewers, with Theo also helping out with Rebels Scouts. @ferra and @Grumpy will be holding up the Kashyyyk end of things, including the all new "41st Elite" Level 2 judging. @Chopper will be joining @Retrofire on Level 2 review for the Biker Scout. @M.J, @Forest Ranger, @762s, @Aliaz and @gmrhodes13 are all continuing on in their roles as Site Armorers, as their help has been invaluable over the past term. And a few staff changes and new additions: @FIVE will be joining the Armor Team as our Patrol Trooper expert. He's already been a great source of help in that Forum, helping newcomers out with his build advice, and I like to reward folks who are already doing the job. Great to have you aboard, Noel! @inkydinki will be joining the PR Team to promote Recon Fatale, our female Squad of Pathfinders. We are preparing some great stuff for Recon Fatale in the immediate future, so stay tuned! Welcome, Shaina! @Jakeputt will be joining the Armor Team, as he has been a great help on the site since joining. And once he finishes his Kashy, I expect him to help out on that side of things as well! Finally.... it's always sad to see someone go after serving side-by-side for so long. @Strider, my brother, you and I came up around the same time, always pushing the Biker Scout towards higher and higher levels of accuracy. Your passion for the Scout led you to create one of the best and most popular sets of armor available today. Your knowledge of the Scout is second-to-none and it's been great having you serve as the Detachment Captain of the Guard. But photography is calling and I know you have great things going on with that. Thanks for everything over the years. Which means that our new Captain of the Guard/Chief Armorer will be...... @Stroker! Tim has been a constant presence on the Forum for almost six years and has always been quick to lend a helping hand to costumers in need. There are not many folks who make me say "Damn, I wish my Scout looked that good", but Tim's Biker Scout is definitely one of them. And he does this while defying those who think folks who are very tall won't look good in a Scout. At 6'5, Tim towers over most of us, and looks damn good while doing so. I am happy to have him in this new role. I am always available to anyone who has questions or concerns. So please feel free to reach out to me or any of the staff if you have some. I look forward to a great year and I hope to meet many of you at Celebration in Chicago! Pathfinders United!
