We are working very hard on the new CAD forums, and they may be up as early as today. The forum system that we were using had many security leaks, including a fairly recent one which was hitting a lot of message boards pretty hard. We have switched over to a new system, imported all of the information, and we are now putting the finishing touches on. I’ll let you know as soon as the new forum is up and running. It will be a big change for everyone, but in the long run it will be a better message board experience.

The holidays are over, and everyone is returning to their routines. There isn’t a whole lot happening in the wonderful world of gaming at this particular moment. I’m pretty much working, and playing World of Warcraft when I can, with a smidge of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within here and there.

I haven’t even touched KOTOR2 yet, but it’s not like it’s going anywhere. I gave up stressing myself out trying to play all of the new games that came out this season. Instead I’m enjoying each one thoroughly with the knowledge that the rest of them are sitting on my shelf waiting to be loved, and that I’ll probably never hit a place where I have nothing new to play.

Don’t forget about the Winter-een-mas shirts, which will only be available for pre-order for a few more days. If you want one, now is your only chance.

Ignore the fact that it says the shirts are out of stock. It says that because the shirts aren’t in stock… they haven’t even been printed yet. This is a pre-order deal only.

If you are not a Canadian resident and you want to make sure you receive this shirt for Winter-een-mas, we recommand that you avoid the shipping methods named “Small Packets Surface” and “Small Packets Air”. Shipping can be expensive, and there is not much we can do about it. In 2005 we will be examining all of our options to find a way to offer you the best service for the best price.
