Problems with the site
Right in the last mail i was trying to start up the new forum but due to various problems it is not working
me and 2 friends were hosting at least 4 sites on this server but its proving to be rather complicated
with too much downtime. Also on that server was my new website which cant be accessed so im trying to update
regulary using the html one. We are working on getting our own dedicvated servers and once that is done
I will upload the new site. It could take a while though so I will make changes for you all!
