Quite. I think we've agreed that we're better :P
However, I doagree with Zemarl, some reform and change is needed. I've noticed that despite his seemingly conservative beginnings, Qu Klaani seems to be doing something. Keep it up everyone.

Well, as for change; I have the comments system for news items up and running now - which doesn't require registration (though it'd be good to link login to the boards, bit impossible mebbe). I should probably get back to hacking away at customising our Wiki so I can put it up and let people loose on it. Anyone who thinks 'oh but you should do this! ..' should go here. :)

i think someone's gone through and deleted a number of users that never posted... this was a while ago of course, so we've accumulated more.

With regards to my article back in October, and my question about further translation to Swedish, I've just seen a Swedish newspaper article about further translation of his books. Yay!

With regards to Ian's article, I hope it's my computer but the images don't show up. Just a note.

They're gone due to the crash (they were being hosted on BTTS, as opposed to Cittagazze who couldn't be bothered and just linked to Photobucket). I did PM Will about it a while ago, although I'm sure he has better things to be doing.

Oh whoops, I totally forgot about that PM once I read it. Sorry, I'll do that now. *drums fingers* I don't think I have them saved in fact; I probably editted them in a different folder when I was resizing them. I'm grabbing them from hdm.org now, I'll see if I can remember how I resized them..

edit: There, all done. Put in a few links and tidied up the formatting too.
