Welcome To Summer!!
It's offcial! Yesterday, the tilt of the earth was just good enough for the sun to shine directly over the Tropic of Cancer, marking the Summer Solitice, heralding the coming of the new season to the Northern Hemisphere...
But we all got the message loud and clear months ago. Many have been soaking like there's no tomorrow since April! And now, with this new season, we continue into the Many years tradition, of all summer long....  SOAK YOUR BRAINS OUT!! WOOOOO!!!

Anyway, to the News...

More Dominator War Footage!
6 More photos from the Dominator War have been added to the Gallery section! Simply incredible photos of these hardcore Water Militants... (including one of their massive pile of guns they made while on lunch break). You Gotta see it!

Also: please note, that due to a shortage of webspace, photos from the Dominator War have been moved to the Nexus's Tripod server, in effort to keep this site running smoothly and for the most part, bannerless... (However, with tests, Tripod banners don't seem to pop up when they open in a sub-frame... curious...) (I'd also like to thank Dominion of MiB for offering webspace to this endeavour)

Anyway, seems to be it for now... More later!

Some News Today...

Dominator War hits the Nexus.
As posted in the 6/01/2001 issue of the Newswire, Guts'n'Glory's Dominator War's host site, AquaFire has been temporarily shut down(as announced in yesterdays newswire). Until it can be reactivated, Aqua-Nexus is proud to host the Dominator War for the Online Community.
One thing, Dominator War's legacy is sure to become truly massive. It's Massive right now!  An amazing 18 part Saga of the entire war in the War Stories Section, and 9 photos of the True Water Warriors involved...

As such, a Special Coverage Bar has been added to the Main Page of the Aqua-Nexus to commemorate the two big Wars that have landed on the Nex over the last few days. The Dominator War of Northern Virginia, and Vermin War III of North Carolina.

Also, I'd like to Thank Guts'n'Glory's Commander Dave (xneverfacedefeatx on Aquatica) for dedicating his site to me (SuperSoakerWarrior) for the week of June 11th to June 18th. I'm glad I could be an inspiration to you, and I hope that I can continue to be so for a good while yet. Aqua-Nexus is and Always will be dedicated to those who treat Soakers as an artform, as a sport, and most of all, understand the true spirit of friendship of the game. And most of all, to those who TAKE NO PRISONERS!!.

And before it gets lost in all the commotion, Swamp Rat tells us a little story about an Ambush him a few friends planned. See the War Stories Section for More...

A Sad Day...

Aquatica down to 1 Founder.
Early this morning, Aquatechnology AKA Bob G. of iSoaker.com, stepped down from Foundership duties, stating that he did not feel compitent enough to continue as such. Control of the Aquatica Organization is now in the hands of just SuperSoakerWarrior AKA Nick L of the Aqua-Nexus, and will remain so until a replacement Founder for Aquatechnology is found. The final descision is not expected to be made until, possibly, the fall, as it is difficult to replace such a great founder, one who helped Co-Found the Aquatica Organization on September 23rd, 1999. Aquatechnology will continue as a member of the Aquatica club and webring, as iSoaker_com.
This is indeed a Sad day, As a tribute, please fill up your largest gun and fire off a shot in his honor. For all that he's done for SuperSoaking online, it's the least we could do...

Aquafire is down.
Due to an error on it's Homestead server, which is beginning to charge for its services, Aquafire as been taken down until a new Server can be found to host it. It is unknown at this time if it will be back, but to it, Aqua-Nexus would like to wish them well, and that they find their way back online soon.
If you're outside shooting off a shot for Aquatechnology, please shoot one off for Aquafire as well...

But not everything is depressing today... Fuzz Factor Debuts!
The resident nut of the CWSL, The Fuzz, launches his very own section of reviews on the Nexus today, starting with 10 reviews and one cool intro! Fuzz tells us his Facts on the XP Triple Play, CPS 3200, CPS 1200, CPS 1500/1700, XP 270, XP 215, XP 220, XP 310, CPS SplashZooka 65oz, and the 2001 Monster!
Also, the Final Ratings for guns on the Super Soaker Reviews section have been posted, Factoring into the equation the Fuzz Factor!
GO SEE!!

Other than that, not much else to report...

Take NO Prisoners!!

War Story/Match-Maker Submission Form Disfunctionallity
Ok, I just discovered this problem, and I apologize deeply for all those that took the time to write up a neat War Story or Match-Maker Ad for the Nex, Clicked Submit, only to find out that the @#$%##% Submission service shut down for upgrading in Early April - WITHOUT TELLING ME...
*ahem*
Anyway, they say that their Submission form system will be operational once again by June 8th. Until then, I'll be uploading the Submission form for the War Story section from Mid-2000 before Bytecenter.com was used for submission form CGI, OR, send the War Stories to Ronlowe@nbnet.nb.ca. Match-Maker ad's can also just be sent in to me at Ronlowe@nbnet.nb.ca (checked everyday). (Before submitting, check the Submissions Page on the Interactive section for guidelines.)
