Hello everyone. 

I hope you are doing well.  I've really been working on things and getting lots of stuff done here lately.

• Upcoming Specialty Gamer Progress:

First, I have some exciting news.  (well to me at least)  The Marketplace will be open this month of March!  (hopefully)  Well at least that is my plan.  The Marketplace is now my top priority and I just today got all the pieces in place to know that I have all the initial requirements set so I can go ahead.  Details about things will be updated in future Newsletters as they come.  The Talk Boards also will be worked on in the spare time, hopefully will be open this month of March as well... but will all the things needing to be done, I'm more comfortable with saying it will be open in April at the latest.

I've got other plans in mind too. 

As soon as the Marketplace and Talk Boards are open, I will start to spread the word about Specialty Gamer much more.  So far, I haven't gone thru too much trouble to tell people, market, advertise just because I don't like everyone seeing the site yet as incomplete. 

Also, I was thinking I may do a meet and greet party to celebrate the website as soon as everything is complete!  It'll be in Portland, just because I live here so if you're local I hope you'd say hi if I decide to do it.
