FanForce Updates like this have been posted in the FanForce Communications forum during the spring. Since few read those I've taken it to posting it all over the Europe region. As you see information about Europe is severly lacking. Have you had a meeting, have you had a particularly great/funny/memorable discussion, or do you just want to make people aware of what's going on in your forum. Please tell me and I'm going to make sure that it gets mentioned in the updates.
