	It's now two days from 2014 and in the last year, I became admin over the wiki and the forum. Soon after, a shining light pointed at me and I took over hosting everything AC. It's the best feeling in the world that a game I have dedicated years to has come down to this. I don't need any rewards or special attention; having AC is all I have ever wanted and I've pretty much just hit the jackpot and my main goal. I'm not going anywhere any time soon and I hope this means AC won't either.		It's now two days from 2014 and in the last year, I became admin over the wiki and the forum.

		+	==2014==
		+
		+	So I've been forgetting about this for a while, surely something has happened during 2014. Honestly, I can't remember much. Either that or not much has happened. That might be an issue or it may be a good thing. I've been able to keep all services up and updated and continued learning how everything works between different people. On that note, AC gained two more developers to help out with the code: Stef and Grenadier. This shows a new promise for AC as we hope to push for new features for the game such as a brand new Master Server and new methods to kick off cheaters. For now, we keep weeding through the trolls.
		+
		+	==Flip Flop==
		+	===Early 2015===
		+
		+	Unfortunately, a game changer for me personally, we ended up losing a community leader in the process of gaining our two new ones (But not because of). Jamz is a great friend of mine whom I thought of greatly as a personal mentor in my coming of AC but he's needing to vacation from AC for a little while, just to take a break from the madness that is AC. We had frequent late night (For me) IRC chats about everything from personal interests to catching cheaters. We spent a lot of time working side by side to help build a better community but unfortunately, the community remained chaotic between admins and regulars alike. Many blame a lack of communication and understanding between our main coders and veterans alike. I cannot pin point the situation exactly and neither can anyone else, but it feels like I lost a good friend in the process. AC was our common interest but if he's doing better now, then I'm happy. The real unfortunate situation for me is this meant I'm pretty much the community leader for the most part now and the main Master Server blacklist administrator. In other words, it used to be only Jamz until I came along and now it's only me and occasionally a random appearance from RandumKiwi.
		+
		+	To put the cherry on the cake though, I suffered a seriously strong DDoS attack on my web server once more just after these prior events. Unfortunately this shit fest left the site to struggle as it was being flooded with thousands and thousands of requests. Mitigation kicked in but it couldn't filter fast enough and keep up. I previously stated that CloudFlare seemed out of question but with little to do, I gave it another try. At first it didn't really do anything either but it let me mask my IP while I changed some things in order to buy me time. The Master Server in the mean time remained up due to it being in plain text and quick to load even when flooded. Eventually the attack stopped after nearly two weeks, and the main benefit I've discovered with CloudFlare is the offline site caching which is good for our main site.
		+
		+	===2015===
		+	We're not too far into the year yet so alas we wait for more stuff to write. In the mean time, my buddy Thrawn has started committing doc changes to AC which is a great start. Many places to go from here...

 Aside from the main forum, I ended up purchasing my first real VPS (Virtual Private Server) on March 7th, 2013 with a new domain. I was able to fairly quickly move all of my internet services over to it including my IRC bouncer, AC servers and website. It was really cool to say I owned a VPS where I can do so much more. And just like that, I began to expand with my new service. I opened a sub domain for Bukz off of my own domain and hosted a site for him on my web server. This was also the intro to getting me connected to the site ac-akimbo.net. Along with akimbo, I had started hosting an IRC bot which announces new file uploads to the akimbo site to IRC as made by Ironzorg. In addition, Bukz was off to testing php search engines using my web host to search akimbo files remotely and cfg cleaners for AC maps and soon in April 2013, I was convinced by both him and Lucas to start a file mirror for akimbo. The next version of AC (Currently SVN or 1.2) incorporates an auto downloader of missing custom content so I got into contact with one of the head AC devs and the owner of akimbo, Cleaner, and set up a file mirror to help with bandwidth for file hosting. Overall, I feel I have been tied into the technical aspect of AC more than the gaming side these last few months.

+A clan that seemed to bring a shine to the AC scene, I figured after some alone time, this may make a great choice to apply to. My original application was on March 24th of 2012 but unfortunately there seems to be a lot of inner clan issues going on at the time and so to avoid additional stress on everyone, I had decided to withdraw.

	Regarding forum moderation, I can't say I deserved it seeing as I was perfectly capable without it but to know such trust has been established with the community is an awesome feeling so with such established power, I suppose I replace the less active moderators. I may have been one of the youngest (17 at the time) and fastest (1yr 3m) noobs to get moderation in the history of AC. I still act very immature with a temper at times but I never let that control my power over other users seeing as I do my best to just walk away when I can.

 Yes, I am an X-Ray_Dog and for some reason you are willing to read my little story (Biography) about my journey into the AC world. It all started for me back in V1.1.0.3 in mid October of 2010 thanks to my lovely friend JB|JustinBieber. The very first time I played I was using a touch pad and wasn't all that great. However, in the first few days I decided to go ahead and make X-Ray_Dog my main username for the game. Once I got the hang of the controls a little bit, I found a good mouse to use. My skills for never playing before were actually decent compared to this unarmed guy most of the time. I was keeping close to 1.0 ratios and learned to strafe run before I even knew what it was. But like anyone who had just joined the community, I was a complete noob (and still am :D).

 ==Equilibrium Clan==
-On October 31st, I officially joined eQuilibrium. I once again began working with cube script and even started looking into C++ as another scripting preference but not really going anywhere. I am always looking for a greater knowledge and work to my best ability daily. I don't really get onto AC as often as preferred, thus I am not one of the best AC players in any perspective but I can still do a lot of other great things. This is a new clan to me so lets see where I can go now.
