There is a concept. This concept is difficult for the author to understand. Some people call it ‘real life’. Sadly, this mischievous beast has gotten in the way once more and our newest staff member, Kyle, has been forced to resign his staff position to pursue further education.

These services include RSS topic feeds and User Count badges. A new server was brought online today and we have restored the…
