After long deliberaton and drinking many a bottle of rum, the Classic-Pirates.com crew has chosen reinforcements. We are very glad to present you our newest crewmembers: Walt and darkdragon! They will put their writing and computer skills into practice by blogging all the great stuff that our forums may offer. We would like to thank everyone for their submissions.
Since our beloved Admiral Zorro (Dieter de Vos) passed away last month, we, the staff and volunteers of Classic-Pirates, would like to honor him with an invitation to all members to create a MOC honoring Zorro. Nice MOC's will get enough attention and will probably be frontpaged. Zorro rose money for famous contests like Pillage the Village and the Tournament of Retribution II and made some great reviews. His presence will be greatly missed throughout the forums. Please honor him by posting a memorial MOC.
Captain Blackmoor and Big Cam with their new ranks
Captain Blackmoor and Big Cam have been promoted! Captain Blackmoor is the new Pirate Regulator, one of the highest "pirate ranks". Big Cam is the new Shipyard Master in Blackmoor's place. Shipyard Master is the highest rank of the Shipyardigans. So be nice to these guys as they are the managers now, and the administers of the rum!
Our Shipyard Master Captain Zuloo is taking a break from his duties on Classic-Pirates.com due to time constraints. He will still be around on the forums and continue his successful interview series. In the name of Classic-Pirates.com I thank him for his appreciated contributions.
Due to the continuous expansion of Classic-Pirates.com, we are looking for a fresh, devotedblogger.

Classic-Pirates.com is currently undergoing some scheduled maintainance. During this time, some features of the site may be unavailable for use, however Pirates forum operations will proceed as usual.
We thank you for your cooperation in the matter, and we will endeavour to have the site returning to normal as soon as possible.
General Armendariz, the brickflick genius pressed into the Classic-Pirates.com crew, has treated us with another oscar-winning motion picture: Shipyard Shenanigans, Episode One: "Last words, either way." It tells the humorous story of a man's last words as his ship crumbles into the sea - but I won't spoil the surprise; be sure to grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and switch on the show!
You may notice many familiar faces starring in the flick, Captain Zuloo, Mister Phes, and Captain Blackmoor among them. Some viewers may wonder, "What is this Shipyard Shenanigans?" Well, we have the same question for you! Sail by the Classic-Pirates.com forum and tell Armendariz your thoughts and opinions.
Our LEGO® Ambassador Bonaparte is celebrating his 33rd birthday today! All the best mate, may you recieve lots of LEGO goodies and a happy day with your friends and family.
