    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    I have found it very interesting that so many people are advocates of the Mystic/Equipment package. I have tested this and it is blatantly too slow. To get a dude with active equipment is usually at...

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop

    Why is this posted in a CounterTop thread if neither Counterbalance or Top is in this list? Can this be moved somewhere so this thread doesn't get derailed?

    Re: [DTB] CounterTop
