Don't worry man, I haven't given up quite yet.
Yes, the forum is dead. It's very hard for a forum to stay active when there isn't a site backing it up, and I don't think I've ever seen one stay alive before. But, that's not a reason to just give up. With school already in full swing for me, my time is stretched, and my internet activity low. However, I'll continue to try and help to get things back up.
I know a a few guys how can make some kick *moo* signatures. If I can persuade them, I might be able to get an attractive sig for everyone wear.
You like the idea?
