Yay! ;)) Damn! missed this one, I gotta get on here earlier! :smack: So **Rebo** , is there a set time that you usually post the daily feud? Also, while reading the new rules I noticed that the List link points to the wrong post and there is a more recent list below it. Is there an update coming? ---
