Long Overdue Changes
Greetings all. I'm sorry if you've noticed some downtime and other weirdness going on at the site over the last few days. I'm trying to work through all of it and give us an upgrade. Needless to say, I'm burnt out and frustrated with all of the crap that has been dealt to the site. [...]

Hey everybody! Fox here. I just wanted to check in and give a little update… We're still planning on a site update in the very near future. When it happens, we'll try to make it happen on a Saturday – 'cause I can dedicate a whole day to the change over then and it won't [...]

Happy Thursday, everybody! Sorry for not posting yesterday, I have gotten a wicked case of Strep throat. I'm glad I was able to finally find a Canadian clinic that would treat me after going to three (regardless of the fact that I have Canadian health insurance, how messed up is that?), and since I'm heading [...]
