Just a quick news item while we're all suffering from IRL-party-withdrawal: We've finally finished a major server move - thanks D.Fox for hosting us for a few years, and thanks to Fnord and Ziphoid for our new hosting. As a result, it was about time we got rid of most of the old rickety code that ran the site and rewrote it; as such, some of the features may be missing, and we'll be fixing those as we go.
