The Academy of GTS Appreciation was founded on April 25, 1999, by D.X. Machina. D.X. founded the academy because, heck, he figured that it would give nominees and winners the opportunity to thank "The Academy."
The Academy of GTS Appreciation is, in the words of its charter, "Dedicated to the Appreciation of GTS, no matter where it may be, no matter what form it takes." The Academy carries this spirit forward by maintaining the GTS Hall of Fame, located in beautiful downtown Des Moines, Iowa.
Anybody can be a member of The Academy if they agree to abide by the charter, and truly love GTS. Contact the Academy at [email protected] if you have any questions.
