TAKE AN EXIT

2008/12/01 - ISAAC AND BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE

2008/07/11 - MESSAGE BOARD UPGRADE

The Message Board has been upgraded to phpBB3. I'm sure you will notice they've made an incredible amount of changes.

Hopefully everything has been copied over correctly. For some reason the Avatars did not and all the files were renamed, so everyone has to upload theirs again I'm afraid. If you no longer have yours and want to still use it, please PM me and I will send it to you.

If anyone has any problems or comments, please let me know.
