Dateline Internet: February 23, 2005 - Vanguard Silky Venom is delighted to have the pleasure of Kheldon's company sporadically during the coming inauguration and expansion of the site. Kheldon is the young enthusiast known in the online gaming news industry as Stratics' "man at WoW and Vanguard."

Working with Stratics for nearly three years, Kheldon learned the ropes from the ground up, having at various times (and sometime simultaneously) worked as WoW-Stratics news reporter, Stratics Central news reporter, WoW-Stratics news team manager, WoW-Stratics associate editor, Vanguard-Stratics assistant content manager and Vanguard-Stratics content manager—a pretty impressive tribute to his abilities. While at Stratics, Kheldon earned the reputation as the guy to go to for thoughtful and deep-probing questions for devs to answer about their games.

Regretfully Kheldon had to leave Stratics and his many duties there as of January, 2005, to free time up for his studies. He is currently pursuing a career in IT.

Kheldon will be bringing his wealth of fan site knowledge and experience to us on a "as time permits" basis and will be contributing updates of news, press releases and policies from the official Vanguard site. They will be posted here as straight news items, until we get the site duded up as a "real" fan site.

Thanks for joining us, Kheldon, even on a peripheral basis. And we promise not to entice you away from your books. Oh, btw, why aren't you studying, eh??
