Happy New Year!

What's up guys? How goes it? Hope you all enjoyed your new year, I know I did!

I'd like to start off on a serious note. Yes, we have noticed the server is
running extremely slow & no I have no idea why. There is plenty of room, it is
updated, and the computer it's on is in near perfect condition. I am gonna
continue to work on it and see what's going on. If you are having problems wit
the speed of the server...get an FTP client. smartftp.com is the one i use and i
love it. It will take some of the strain off the server and help your connection
go a little faster and it will improve greatly once i discover what the trouble
is. I'm sorry for any inconvience.

now more Good news & bad news....
The bad news is, the holiday and anniversary giveaways has ended but we have one
more goodie for ya and our older users will know what that is...
