Welcome to our forums. Go ahead and register, it takes all of 2 seconds.
A few things worth noting. These forums were written by hand by myself (and some parts by PickleMan), mostly because I don't have room on my host for full forum software. As such, it's lacking in many of the features of conventional forums, while innovating on many features that they don't have. Of course, it's a large step up from the shoutbox, although not nearly as graphically appealing.
It's got a long way to go, and I will constantly be working on it, adding new features, etc. If you run into any errors or strange bugs, it's probably because i'm testing a new feature, so try again in a few minutes.
In the meantime, enjoy your upgrade. Feel free to shoot any questions my way. I'm most likely not taking any suggestions at this time, because I'm just trying to get the basic features down, but feel free to post them in the "Forums and Website" forum, and I'll gracefully ignore it.
