GG is 100 times better now than before

I've been a TGE customer for about a year and a half and I purchased T2D shortly after it's initial Early Adopter release.
A few days ago I decided to drop back in and download these two products once again and see how the GG community is. I can easily say, without a doubt, GG is in the best position I have ever seen it in.
The TDN is absolutely great and exactly what I envisioned when trying to get TorqueWiki.com running (that domain expired btw, I sent a few emails about transferring it to you guys, no repsonse). My biggest complaint in the past was the lack of organization of the documentation. The documentation had always been there - you just had to be Sherlock Holmes to find it. With the TDN there is simply no excuse any longer - the documentation is concise, easy to find, and if you think it should be improved you can do so.
T2D is an absolutely amazing product today - far more user friendly than when I last used it. I never imagined I would enjoy a "build a game within an editor" product, as I never thought it would be powerful enough - but T2D has more than changed my mind in that respect. You can stay within the editor and built feature rich games, drop out and mess around in the scripts for even more control, and if you deem it necessary (although I haven't seen a reason to yet) you can even get your fingers into some real code. The tutorials and documentation have once again been improved upon 10-fold.
It's also nice to see some of the leaders in the T2D community when it was first launched get recognized for their hard work - King Tut, you helped me on many many occassions and no one deserves the good fortune you are having now more than you. Good luck in the future.
Once again - I am excited about game development and it feels to be an obtainable task again. Thanks GG - continue to rise above the rest, you are doing great so far!
