Official old Gunbound notices

I am not sure where this goes. When GunBound was close to close, I informed a friend of mine about this fact. I've asked him if he had a way to scrap the Softnyx forums notices, in particular the GunBound notices. He was able to do this and then shared them with me. Now with them actually gone, I can release them here. Unfortunately, something I didn't keep in mind is the notices from GLS or GKS, so this is the English ones only
