Hello, Demons!

Welcome to February's edition of the BTS! This BTS should be smaller than the last (do I hear any sighs of relief?). :P

Joel has threw in a little Valentines love as a reminder to you all to keep your eyes on the prize for the next couple of weeks. :P Julz kindly provided me with more information than usual, so extra thanks to you too Julz!



You can find the new Rants forum here, and the update announcement here. Please use this forum to vent your steam out of the public eye. :)

Although it was never a written rule (but I could swear that it was written down somewhere), we will now be enforcing the 'thirty day' rule, whereby members who have retired are not permitted to return until at least thirty days from their resignation post. As usual, members are given three days to change their mind before we set them to retired.

Heya!

Fair start to the year I think! Thanks go out to Vaux for his funky picture competition which seemed to have a great reception. Unfortunately we had a few departures, best of luck to you all. I have included a new feature this month - I actually have been wanting to do it for a while, but keep forgetting, lol. You'll find the new Caption Competition after the highest attender's article. If you want to enter your caption, please post on the BTS feedback thread with it and indicate that your caption is an entry please. The winner of the month's attendance also gets to choose the winner of the Caption Competition, or if they're not up to it, the Leaders will decide.

Got any friends who you speak to often? Who you think would enjoy our events? Please invite them into the cc and we can get chatting to them too.

Real life time! I have a feeling that this section of the BTS is quite unnecessary. I am planning to remove it in March's BTS. What do you think?

This month's 3 to-see films are (the same as last month as nothing else has came out...):

Sherlock Holmes
I don't know if Hollywooding this was the way to go - I'll have to see it to find out.
Avatar
I saw it, at last. :P It's the highest grossing film of all time now! Woop!
Alvin and The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel
Any of you under 13? Check this out. :P


This month's 3 Music tracks are:

Fireflies - Owl City - This is a really cute song and has been number #1 in the UK for a week or two.
Don't Stop Believin' - Glee Cast - Now excuse me, but I don't watch Glee. I seem to be one of the few in my social group who hasn't. Am I missing out on something fantastic here?
Riverside - Sidney Sampson - I know my brother is home when I here this being pumped out onto the drive. >.< (warning about the language)


Housekeeping! This final article space is designated for the top attender of a previous month, should they wish to write it. The top attender in Month A will have the chance to write an article for Month C. This is so they have a decent amount of time to write it (and don't worry, I shall remind you if I haven't heard from you in a while). This article can contain anything that the top attender wants - it's their chance to speak on the big stage. Leaders are excluded from this privilege, due to Tren regularly being in the top three (and she can speak on here if she wants to anyway).

Note: Mark has been excluded from winning the Event attendance award also (with his permission) as it was becoming too frequent an affair. Like Tren, his event attendance will not register for the monthly event attendance award. Congratulations Kristi! Ontop of the usual article writing privileges, you will also be asked to judge the Caption Competition (found below the member article). Please pick the funniest caption in the BTS feedback thread at the end of this month and PM me with the winner. Cheers!

Mark generously passed down his article privileges to Mandy this month, so here is her article.

Heya Demons,

I would like to take this time to thank my friends and family.... Hahaha just kidding that's too formal.

But I would like to thank a few people all the same, everyone that makes the Demons website and the clan possible. Thanks to Grant writing the BTS every month and do what he does during his time in the month, so thank you Grant. I would like to also thank Barb, Julz, they work so hard with the clan, making sure people behave themselves in the clan chat. And Mark, thinking up that new event "where am I?" Awesome Mark, I loved thinking of where you was and to locate you, that was great fun, thanks Mark. Bring on more challenges!!!

As you all know that I just got 99 magic, I spent a good 3 weeks endless clicking, I would die if I worked out how many clicks I done in that time, that is like alot of clicking and thank you all and my other friends that kept me company in this boring time. Much appericated and thanks again, many of nights I actually fell asleep clicking away haha

I am currently open for new opportunities to come my way so I am open for any suggestions you guys throw at me, I'm not sure what I want to do at this present time, I will attending this months competion, but I know for a fact that I won't win, it's the taking part that counts, isn't it?

As I said I finally got a 99 with you guys, and there is many more to come I promise you that.

One more thing, before I bore you all is that, I know we all have problems in real life and on Runescape, and I do know that I keep on saying that I'm going to leave etc, I'm just having a really hard time in real life at the moment. But I can promise you one thing guys that is I will never leave Demons, because you are all good friends to me and you make my day bright at the end of the day, so all I can say is thank you all so much

Thanks again.

Mandy aka Cat
