... and we're back! Things will look a little different, but hopefully it will be easy to get a good new feel for things and you'll notice some fun new goodies! ;)
Hey All!
It's time for us to finally upgrade our forum software to the newest version. The new version comes with some new features, better performance, more security, etc!
We're hoping downtime will be VERY limited... hopefully not more than an hour or two. That said, it's hard to know...
4/21/2020, A VERY sad update: We're very sorry to say that our beautiful friend and amazing soul Sumi passed away 3 pm Irish time. It was peaceful and pain free.
As some of you may know, our beloved moderator Sumi went missing a few weeks ago. About a dozen of us were frantically working to...
Well, the $5,500 guy lowered his bid because:
1) We live on a private unpaved road, so his costs to repair the road went down
