Ironbear's column is published every Friday. His unique perspective on the forums and some of Renderosity's more colorful members is a must read. Who is Ironbear? My real name is Sherman Barnes, and I'm a Cherokee, Irish and Czechoslovakian breed... Michael Ironbear is just someone I made up... first as a role-playing character, then as a net-ID. Don't let that fool ya tho... I'm nutz in real life too. :) So... stick with me and over the course of however long this lasts, I'll try to keep ya'll up to date on what's going on in the forii. I can't promise that I'll hit all of them, but I'll do my best - have to sleep and eat sometime, after all. I'll do my best to be informative, and failing that - I'll at least be entertaining...in a strange sort 'o way. Later...
