Hey Mezcal, bienvenido compañero! So glad to finally see you post here! 
Reading your intro brought back some memories, man. It definitely took a few cold ones and some persistent nagging on my part (you know my stubborn streak matches yours! lol) to get you back into the scene after RL pulled you away.
Seriously though, I'm genuinely thrilled you decided to take the plunge and join us here at CBC. Your talent, knowledge, and just your general vibe are exactly what we value.
For those members who might not know Mezcal from back in the KG days (where he used a different handle), let me just say this: he's good people. He gets the difference between empowering users and exploiting them, which is crucial.
His arrival actually times perfectly with what we're building here with **V4 ("Before")**. As many of you know from the recent announcement Link Here, we're making a real push to get back to the core principles this place was founded on nearly 9 years ago – focusing on ethical "White Hat Backup," genuine community support, and knowledge sharing. We're actively moving away from any kind of harsh vibe and cultivating an environment built on mutual respect and helping each other out.
This also means rejecting the "pay-to-play VIP" or mercenary spirit you sometimes see elsewhere – that's never been the CBC way, and it certainly won't be part of V4 either.
We're building a "Guild" here, where contribution, helpfulness, and alignment with our core values are what matter most.
That's why having someone like Mezcal, who understands the landscape and shares that supportive, ethical approach, join us now is fantastic. As we build the new "Guild" team structure (more details on roles coming soon!), we're looking for members – both old and new – who embody this spirit. Don't be surprised if you see members who demonstrate these qualities stepping into roles quickly; V4 is about recognizing valuable contribution and positive energy, not just seniority on this specific board.
Mezcal, seriously mate, welcome aboard. It feels great to have you here. Looking forward to seeing you around and building something awesome together!
Cheers,
showbis
