Well I just logged on and seen I am now a HG Veteran! Going on 11 years here and after many ups and downs here I've finally got the Vet tag for the FIRST TIME! You guys have no idea how much this means to me.

Didn't HG use to do something like this back in the day? Good work Lucas and Blindy.

I would like to talk a little bit about HG’s finances, our history, and our future. Let me first say what I always say “that HG has never been about the money.” Some people like to joke about where the money is going...to Homer’s car rims or pizza, that is fine to rumer, but the reality is...it's reinvested to growing the community or it’s saved and not touched. You may wonder, what does that mean. Well, we have been around for 15 years. That is a long time. There are ups and downs for a community and I learned we need to account for that so that we can keep HG running for as long as possible. During the last 15 years, we have had our good years and bad years. Our best years were 2007-2010, during that time anything extra was reinvested into growing the community or it was saved and not touched. We had up to 70 game servers at one point! Then there is 2014-2018, our worst years of slow decline, due to multiple factors, for example: CS:Source player base dying out, which we were known for having the most populated servers. As well during this time my personal involvement was greatly reduced due to me having to focus on college (HG Sirius stepped up to run things). With slowly dying servers and struggling to break into crowded CSGO, as well trying other games...during 2014-2018 we would have died if it wasn't for the money saved from prior years and by the end of 2018 there was no more saved money to subsidize costs with and I was contributing leftover operating costs out of my pocket each month. During these years, I created the HG Future & Direction Board and we got to work on rebuilding the Leadership structure and we worked on getting a new version of our website done (the current one you are using). We then released the new website late 2018 and worked on rebuilding our VIP/GOLD subscribers and donations so that I could stop having to contribute out of pocket, this took all year and you may remember seeing me post Discord Announcements asking for any help we could get with donations each month. We struggled but we made it with everyone’s support. Each month since then with the new website and new Leadership structure, we have continued to grow with a bright future. Today, we now own our first piece of hardware ever, the Ryzen box, which you all made possible. This is huge for us and our growth going forward. It lowers our monthly operational costs the less we rent server machines and move to owning and colocating our machines. Going forward, my goal is to continue to work on growth and owning more of our hardware and renting less, as well to one day be able to put HG into perpetuity. This is an optimistic goal that may take awhile and includes me investing my own money so that interest earned on money saved/invested can one day take over paying HG’s monthly operational costs, but its an awesome goal to have because that means that HG can theoretically live forever..no matter what happens to the various fluctuations of income that HG currently relies on month-to-month to keep our lights on..HG can continue to operate for as long as there are active members of this community and willing individuals that step up and run for Director positions during our annual HG Elections Happy New Years & Cheers to a bright future for HG

Welcome back to our forums! Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

Hello! I am froxy and today we will tour the weapons on the new map v5 map and common rebel paths. First, we have the ak in the secret upper vip room. You can get there by either breaking this wall in upper vip, pictured here or you can sneak into pool and break into the vent Here's what the secret room looks like, once you have gotten the ak you can break the tv in the secret room and go into broken tv, and it teleports you to the entrance to duengeon in blue room. (i broke the tv already but it is where the red chair is.x next we have the bizon in kitchen. to get teleported into kitchen, go into the vent in the first bottom cell Collect the bizon in the fridge, and you can go on top of the microwave to get teleported into infirm. There is a p2k in chapel There is a Five Seven in offices overlooking cells. a There is a scout not too far away on the other side of offices Next we have the revolver in soccer, not a lot of people know how to get it so heres a vid https://imgur.com/7g9Uq0d There is another p2k in the janitor's room in pool There is a usps in jjk jjk is here btw There is ofcourse the deagle and awp on top of cells And lastly we have guns in armory, there is only 2 ways to get in, rush armory, which is not a good idea, or sneak into s4s and get inside armory vents go into s4s and knife where the circle is Be aware that the ground breaking can be heard from pretty much anywhere on the map also the ground in knife arena is not breakable, you have to press this button to do it. ok thanks for watching my ted talk

There is also a common rebel path, you run into Blue room all the way through to Arcade. Go up the ladder on the catwalk, take the vent to Pool and Duck Hunt. Them make you're way to the SSG 08 in Offices, or go to the secret upper VIP and grab the AK-47. As shown here

Happy birthday!
