A special thanks to the active members of the SMW forum:

UltimateNinja9, ventuz, Flexserve, nitsuja and leftyfb.  These guys are 
relentless in responding to content requests and providing feedback.  They 
have created tons of maps, sounds, music and skins for this release!  The 
quality of this release is directly a result of their help and great ideas.

I'd also like to thank the xbox test crew: Brian Porter, Caesar Cypher, 
Brandon Stansbury, Brian Smith, Jason Lumbert and Kevin King.  They have
helped me find numerous bugs and have suggested tons of features of which
practically all were included in this release.

THANKS!


Inevitably, we have forgotten to thank somebody for their contribution.  So
many people contributed ideas it's hard to keep track of everybody! :)  Please
let us know if we forgot your name here and we'll add it in a hurry.
