ATTENTION MEMBERS! We can't do this without your help! UGC Thanks every single member who has helped and supported us over the last 2 years trying to keep this service alive for gamers around the globe. We'd also like to thank corporations whom have helped us become. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here today.

Our messageboard service, ezBoard, has a certain requirement for Gold Community. With each hit we receive, it becomes more difficult for us to maintain the Gold Community, unless you are an ezSupporter. If you're ezSupporter, this helps decrease costs in maintaining our community, because each hit an ezSupporter member makes to teh board, does not affect the costs of our Gold Community. In addition, you can donate to our Community Chest to help our messageboard services, so that we may give you better service. This is completely optional, but without your support, we wouldn't be here!

Also, if you need to buy some stuff for school, work, or college, please check out the UGC Store at CafePress! It is located at http://www.cafepress.com/ugcstore. The profits go directly toward services at UGC for our members.

In addition, we also take PayPal donations, if you have a PayPal account. UGC is PayPal certified, and in order to donate to our paypal services, use the email address justinreese@earthlink.net. That is UGC's core Earthlink address (Earthlink is the service provider of this domain), and it is also my primary email address. Again, the donations go toward improving our services for members of UGC.

UGC would also like to give our condolences to the families and friends who have been affected by the September 11th tragedy.

I have also found a new collection of MIDIs which will soon be implemented in our jukebox for even more options of great audio entertainment when you view our website. Many of you have suggested MP3s, which in my personal opinion would be a good idea...however, this site lacks the space to host the MP3s and the bandwidth, I'm sorry to say. But we will count it as a possible future option when this site grows.

Kosherdude got voted this month to be star member! Congratulations! Kosherdude and Fish Guitar made a suggestion to implement a new forum to help people with their daily issues, and we thought this would be a good idea, so a new forum called "Interrelations Help and Assistance" has been opened. Thanks for the great idea!

Also, Mr. Garrett has contacted me, and he's currently working on the new images for the new UGC Store, which should open pretty soon. There you can buy great UGC products from CafePress! The proceeds will go to UGC's business account and help improve services.

On a side note, I will be in College for the next 18 months, so my attendance to this site will go down quite a bit. Patrick Dowling, our Executive VP, will take charge of the messageboard, Jon Tilden, and Shane Simmons will be the Head Administrators. You may contact them at the following addresses if you have concerns:

BTW, we are taking more applicants for UGC alliances. Not all applicants will be accepted.
We are also looking for some fresh new MIDI mixes for our jukebox. If you have some MIDIs that you'd like to contribute, please do. If you're a composer, and would like to make your own MIDIs, that's cool. Again, not all submissions will be accepted. MIDI submissions will be virus scanned and converted into Quicktime files.
PLEASE USE APPLE QUICKTIME TO VIEW THIS PAGE AND IT'S CONTENTS PROPERLY.

If you do not have Quicktime, please download it at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Apple is looking for beta testers for Quicktime 6 as well.

Secondly, Jon Tilden our ezBoard Cheif Support Manager and HTML specialist, has teamed up with UGC's Web Administrator, Daniel Garrett. We're working on some new fixes, as well as some new designs for UGC v8.0. Go check it out!

Furthermore, it may take a month, yes, a month, to have the images prepared for UGC's Store at CaféPress. We're about ready to promote our store, and we have alot of fantastic stuff to choose from! The profits made will go toward improving our services.

Another thing...did you know that UGC has made more than 10,000 hits a day? I was shocked when I found out, so it seems to me that our counter is inaccurate! I have no way of knowing UGC's total hits as of now, but I do know we're way past 400,000 as of this date! Sweet!

The next news, our Executive VP Patrick has applied us for the Diamond Web Awards. UGC has already became a winner of the Golden Web Awards, and we think we can take this site to the next level.

A new member has joined UGC Alliances, "THE Dave" he calls himself, is the owner of the Clown Keep Entertainment Software Developers website. His ezBoard is brand new, and his company works on building new videogames, and he would like to have members come and visit his EzBoard to tell him what your interests are and what you're looking for in videogames.

Secondly, upon request, we've added two new forums, The Anime Atrium and The Card Games battlefield. The first forum speaks for itself, it's a place to discuss Anime, which has been become widely popular in the past few years, and has become an economical part of videogames and television. The Card Games Battlefield is a place to discuss many card games like Pokemon, Duel Monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic the Gathering. You may act out Mock Battles there (no cheating!), and discuss strategies on becoming a better duelist.

Aside from those two updates, I have an unfortunate announcement to make. Because of certain issues beyond my control, updates to UGC may go down for a while. This has to deal with expenses and time, which are currently being ran short of. I will do what I can to help maintain this site and keep it intact. A few of you may not know, but we are also a hosting site for many other messageboards out there.

Some good news! We are 29 members away as of this update from getting to 1000! Thanks to al of the members of UGC who have helped us in obtaining out goals! Be aware that I am watching the boards, I'm currently looking for a Golden Star Member to join the highest of ranks at level 500, higher than any other member. What's it about? It's a secret...

I want to thank one of our UGC Members, Golden Sun 51, for giving us this great idea! Thanks man!

As of today, I'm announcing a new level for Star Members. GOLDEN STAR MEMBER is a member that is personally chosen by me once a year to bear the Golden Star Member title. I will base that person on their behaviour, how they respond to others, helpfulness, and making sure they're not polishing my apple, not concerning themselves with post count, and making sure they follow the rules. With those qualifications met, I will award that one person Golden Star Membership and 12 MONTHS of CSC for free! Pretty cool, huh?

Also, the ranks at UGC have been given a new 3D style effect, should be more appealing now. We've had alot of positive comments and we really appreciate it!

Finally, the messageboard version will now be displayed on the website, look at the bottom of the navigation bare. That tells you when the last updates were made, and what version the website and UGC is. Why aren't the numbers together? Well the simple reason for that is this website is a few years younger than the messageboard.

Oh, one more thing. Some graphical changes were made to the website, giving it a more uniform look, and The Elite Crews forum now has a new banner abd background.

BTW, Daniel, our Web Co-Admin is currently working on new images for UGC @ CafePress. It will be some time before we roll out new products. Thanks for your patience.

I'm going to have a cup of coffee, I'm exhausted!

Oh, by the way, if you notice any images broken, any links not working or any malfunctions whatsoever, please contact me using the contact link on the left side of your browser window. Thanks for visiting UGC!

Other parts of UGC is that the Elite Crews, Gotta Nuke Somethin', Area 51, and The Unknown Room also had background changes. The Elite Crews got a new logo! So those of you who have over a thousand posts can go see that.

Oh! One more rank I forgot to mention. Those who get over 5,000 posts will raise their level up to the highest automatic level at 375, which is ECHH. You can see the ranks page for more details.

It's been a hard days work, but hopefully it will pay off. Thanks to the members for their support! We couldn't have done it without you!

Also, if there are any other gaming web administrators or gaming messageboard admins, please contact me at webmaster@ultimategamers.org.

Other updates are currently being made, and our store is still under construction.

Thanks for visiting UGC!

Patrick Downling's messageboard, The Game Realm, has teamed up with UGC and is part of the Alliances. As you may oir may not know, Patrick is the Co-Owner of UGC, and is the Cheif Administrator on our messageboard, so it was only fitting to have his board become part of the Alliances.

Another new member of the Alliances, a company who has helped us gain alot of our game codes, Cheat Code Central. Cheat Code Central contains some of the biggest selections of codes and GameShark codes for Playstation, XBox, GameCube, Dreamcast, and even has codes for many DVD Videos! Pretty kewl, huh?

That's it for my announcements, thanks for being part of UGC!

Justin is also planning some additional updates for UGC, and he will keep you informed. Right now we are also working on the email program, it seems there are certain script difficulties at the moment. We are working hard to fix these bugs, so don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything. Justin will answer his email more often than me, so contact him first. His email is webmaster@ultimategamers.org.

Thanks for visiting UGC!

In other news, Daniel Garrett will be making a final attempt on a new site design, but because of certain limitations with school and work, these updates may be postponed. :( Yeah, I know.

Meanwhile, our messageboard is doing extremely well, we're almost at 900 members, and I've decided to sign up UGC for the Community Showcase again, will we reach our goal of being in the EzBoard Community Showcase twice? Who knows? The members! We depend upon our members for support to our company, and I personally would like to thank each and every member that has visited UGC.

Right now, I'm pursuing college, so I may not be online as often as I want to. Struggles of a personal nature may also restrict my online time, but my Co-Administrators will be there to help you if you need anything.

Thanks for visiting UGC!

Also, 3 new members have been added to the UGC Alliances! Hopefully, the boards within our ezRing can have their ezOP's contacted to add their boards to UGC Aliances.

And on another note, we're working hard to find you codes, cheats, tips, hints, and tricks for your favourite videogames! Just come by our messageboard, click on the forums button to your left, and you'll be transported to UGC. There, you can register for a global ezBoard account, if you don't already have one, post your questions, and we'll get you answers! It's that simple. We have over 830 members and it's been alot of fun working with all of our members and our friends at Sega, Nintendo, Sony, Microsft, and many others. We strive to get you what you deserve! So just remember to have fun! :)

Also, UGC Alliances are under way right now, and for those who have websites concerning videogames and such may contact me about having their site placed in the UGC Alliances. NOT ALL SITES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Additional news, UGC's messageboard has surpassed 750 members! Woo-hoo! (We'll be looking back on this a year later and think...gee...) We've also hired a new Moderator for our messageboard, he goes by the username of "Fyre Ball," and has a bit more of ezBoard experience than I do, so I think he will be of great help to us.
