Special thanks to Dzsekeb, the original creator of Foothold, without whom none of this would be possible.
Thanks to the guys at Moose and a special thanks to Applevangelist who have always endured my neverending questions. without their help, this foothold would not have CTLD, MANTIS, the WelcomeMessage. MissileTracking. Thank you!
