Fair Exchange, No Robberies
Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Congratulations to everyone
Vocal Media has completely ignored all my emails and has not resolved my issue. My account has $36 pending for withdrawal, but they suspend my account without any valid reason. This is extremely unfair and unprofessional
Super happy for everyone mentioned! A special shout out to the VSS head admin. MikeyD. who keeps our morale up when we are waning. * To one of my personal faves Kenny Penn, keep killin' it my friend.
Thank you so much and congratulations to everyone!!
