Almost back on track!

I'd like to let everyone know why I haven't updated this week yet. It is because I have been helping Lynx on the new BV design stuff and de-bugging, and the new forums were a huge site upgrade and required a lot of testing to make sure everything went smoothly.

I would like to present to you the new and improved "Binary Vibrance", which is the name of Lynx's chat / forums / interactivity system for this site. The move from PHPBB to BBGun went fairly well and without too much trouble.

There's more smileys / emoticons than you can shake a stick at, too ^_^

Now that we've made this transition, I'll concentrate once more on producing 2214, and to make up for the lack of an update last weekend, I'll do one either mid-week or just do a double-page update over this coming weekend. I do hate to break promises.

I strongly encourage you to sign up in the new forums, if you haven't already. The people there are some of the friendliest you'll meet on the internet, and everyone is welcome. There's a real-time chat system and you can actually upload your avatar, so if you don't have a place to host your avatar then it's NOT a problem ^_^. Heck, basically another side-feature of BV is free avatar hosting, so why not sign up and check it out? Our privacy policy ensures that your email address will not be used for spamming or shared with anyone. Hey, real-time chat, instant avatar upload / hosting, and great forums with a million smileys. You're invited!
