You might have noticed, we have a new look at the top of the page. A new logo and logotype. This was custom drawn by our own webmaster and my son, Pat, aka: Duffy or Flatt Bear... (please, take a bow Pat. , and thanks ) We thought we needed a bit of refreshing and updated look, it started a few months ago with new forum software and a new basic look. We are, after all, approaching our teen years, we reached puberty when we turned 10 years-old just about a month ago. We have other things in store, we'll be announcing those as we go, but for now, we hope you like what we've done so far. The thing that we won't change is the use of the nickname that we acquired many years ago when we started out as "The-Gauge". We were "Big Blue" back then and we will remain Big Blue. We were all blue back then, and we are still all blue. Our motto then was, "Keep it gauged" and it's still part of us today.

Anyway, keep looking for more things happening as we go through our tenth year. Spoiler alert: we may have some contests, we may have a few auctions and who knows what else we can cook up. Suggestions are welcome, we are here for your fun and enjoyment.

Tell Pat thanks for all he does!
