Your humble author is Rich Tebb aka Polecr0c. By day I'm a freelance software architect and IT consultant with my company, Prabang Ltd; by night I'm an occasional and rubbish gamer, when I get time away from NGists.

Testing

NGists has been tested by several members of my gaming clan at www.cr0x.com. My thanks to the clan members for their testing and suggestions, and for generally being the greatest clan on the planet. Apart from at gaming, that is ...

Thanks also to odie3 and adamscybot for their help with 64-bit testing, and to cristian100 for help in tracking down the ghost player bug.

Inspiration

NGists was inspired by the original G15_TeamSpeak addon by Dan Klein (aka Schmads), and credit goes to him for many of the basic ideas in NGists. Although the Schmads addon is fantastic, I decided to create NGists because I had my own ideas about some features that I wanted to see, and the easiest way to have those features was to write them myself.

Why is it called NGists?

The stupid name of the addon comes from un-l33ting G15/TS into Gists, then slapping an N on the front to signify that it's a .NET application. Yeah, I know it's pretty lame, but when I started I was more concerned to write the program than to come up with a slogan to keep the marketroids happy.

What's this "All your LCD screen are belong to us" stuff? Are you taking over my computer?

No, relax! In case you've been on another planet for the last ten years, it's an ironic reference to the tired phrase All your base are belong to us which was done to death all over the Net a few years ago. The strapline is part of my marketing strategy to become a millionaire through NGists.
