It's getting boring around here isn't it? :(
So why don't you liven the place up and buy some of my gear?  ;) :D
Got any headphones? :-?

Been that way since a few months before the WH blew up and then went away. And then it came back and it is deader over there than here. Oh well. All things must pass I guess. All of my favorite forums have gone to slow or belly up.
I'm working on it... I have to get the registration thing happening.  Problem is I get literally 100 registrations a day from Russian spammers.  Just weeding through them is taking more time than I have.  Until I institute a code change that should make all that go away, for the most part, I can't really determine if there are even any new registrations, let alone invite anyone.

But I'll be making a fix to that in a couple of weeks when I have post-release downtime.  Then I'll look for some new blood...

Oh yeah, those bastards are wasting a lot of my spare time too.  I'm a senior moderator for another forum and have been deleting between one to six of them every hour (this forum allows anyone to just sign up without having to be accepted).  These fuckwads now have some new type of injection script which signs them back up after you delete them.  Name and IP bans as well as disallowing names doesn't stop them...  The main ones come from Russia, Ukraine, Poland and China.
