Well, hell.

You’re not the only one. Mine locked up on me twice at the EZBoard page since I typed in that message a few minutes ago. Ugh.

Allright, things are all moving according to my master plan (bwuha ha ha…)

It’s nice to see so many people signing up. I was AFK for the weekend, but I am back now and expect great things from this endeavor. Let’s prove the naysayers wrong!
