- This month we give young Tasterix his just reward as our Member of The Month for August!
You can read the full interview here.Quoted from The Interview:
Yeebaagooon:Have you had any good experiences on ESO lately?
Tasterix: I clearly spend a huge part of my time on ESO. For me, it's the best way to meet new people and learn new things. I mean, on AoMH, it's a website linked with a forum and there are some amazing things. But on ESO, it's more social. You talk to the people directly and can have some funny conversations. I remember when I was on holidays last year sometimes it took me 5 or 6 hours playing a WRP map with friends and having a really good deliria. But I also had some bad moments like everyone. For example, invitations spams, some 999 spamming noobs that wanted me to learn them how I did maps... yeah... Some bad moments -_-

- We are honoured to have one of the towering giants of AoMH up for his MoTM interview this month.
It is of course, the Michaelangelo of eyecandy - Kai Hirogashi.
You can read the full interview here.Quoted from The Interview:
Reach: So what do you think of AoMH?
Kai: Ok, well AoMH I first discovered in 2006. I found it on google. The downloads section was a massive chest full of inspiration and imagination. I downloaded majority of files too!
I got into the Forums later on and yet again I was amazed at the community we have at AoMH. The Moderators are good at what they do especially Yeebaagooon. Must be his sense of humor! lol
Personally, I think that AoMH is full of wizs of the game! I had no idea what so ever about implementing Triggers. Fellow members of the community were very kind and helpful. Elrich in particular. My favorite designer is of course SwordofValor. He is an idol for AoM.
