Sadly, this site no longer has a forum. I decided to take the site in a new direction.
The old forums aren't gone and will be archived for reasearch purposes. Please feel free to check back soon and we'll put up a list of forums for you to visit & participate in. There's plenty of them out there. Any webmaster that wants a link to their forum should email me and let me know where you'd like the link to point.
Please, don't start some bashing session on some message forum or speculate what's going on here. If you want to know, just ask me.
(oh wait, someone already said something... typical.)

Feel free to follow along with us as we do something completely unexpected.
