User:Borderman

Hello and welcome. I go by the name of Borderman but people who know me just call me Chris. I have two websites hosted by Miraheze, my other project being The Lonsdale Battalion, which has been around for a while and is forever a work-in-progress.

So, you have reached my user page. Whether you stumbled across it or happened upon here with purpose, I am the creator and administrator of this site and I am here to help out if anyone runs into issues. This area is where I tend to add stuff to help me work on different aspects of the site, mainly because I forget things that might be useful. So it is here where I come back to, making notes and adding links to other pages and templates.
