I surely hope our English AGSers will storm the gates of Canterbury!

LOL

Crucifixtion is not in order... Well at least not with the wiki layout since i think its the standard ttemplate for wikimedia.

This site is pretty much useless as there is nothing around it there is nothing its an empty shell... well to me at least as I quickly browsed through it and found well nothing of interest.

Leave them be except for the acronym of course that is after all a symbol of our community! So lets kick some serious but well... those wo live in Canterbury.

AGS (us) has nothing to fear from AGS (the society). I had a good look, and there really are nothing but hollow words and, indeed, poor layout. But, well, I don't know, is it allowed to have an acronym that's already so obviously in use? Okay, AGS is freeware, it needn't be a legal issue, but isn't there some sort of etiquette?

Yep that website is pretty bland. Now that AGS has been introduced to AGS, I think AGS needs to be introduced to AGS. :P

Weeeee! It's like Wii :D

"All geeks society"?

I know that noone from this site really are allowed to call anyone else a geek... But roleplaying? And calling it adventure gaming?

EDIT: I find this (http://www.americangeriatrics.org/) more alarming.

So now we know where you got the name from!
After all, they claim to be one of the university's oldest societies.

Those of us from the American Goat Society are still a bit miffed that you changed from AC to AGS. Now you know what it feels like.

While we're at it, we should bust the American Geographical Society, Alpha Gamma Sigma, and of course the American Gerbil Society.
