I posted this on another thread a few months back. Moral of the story to anyone reading this, if you have low board scores it's not a nail in the coffin. Bust your ass, get yourself out there and show them how good you are. Be enthusiastic and friendly, and know what you're doing. Kick ass on...

Thank you gamerEMdoc. I hope you filled all your spots. You've been an invaluable resource to all of us the whole year. And I know that I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that we wish nothing but the best for you. Edit-also matched. Congrats everyone Sent from my iPhone using SDN...

I agree. I mean, I sincerely appreciate all the work Apollyon has done with the rank lists. I truly mean that, you sir are a saint. However, I don't understand the anger here. This is information we wouldn't get otherwise without people volunteering it. People are understandably more...
