Hey fellas, sorry for the heart attack moment yesterday - we had some issues with our host when I was unavailable + some horrid customer support when I returned, but all is well.
I hope to actually fix the apostrophes someday, but kudos on the clever hack!
Sorry I can't be more attentive with updates here, I'm insane enough to be running 2 other companies plus another full-time gig, but I DO intend to keep the forums chugging as long as humanly possible (and it's on cruise control most of the time with no particular end in sight)
Cheers,

Thank you byennie for all your hard work! TP! We really appreciate it. Losing the site for a day does make everyone understand how everyone comes here even in the offseason for the excellent and intelligent conversation. So thanks again for your efforts to get the site back up and running.
How are we doing financially with the site right now? Do we need another pledge drive?
So excited for the new season to start soon and see our guys lift the banner and go after another one this year. Also excited to see the game threads come back.
No problem. Not hard work, just occasionally something comes up like the other day, which was sort of a comical issue with our host in hindsight (Amazon, who suspended my account with all the warnings going to spam, then requires you to login securely just to contact support... but while suspending the account also took down my email with it... which is required to login to contact support... which is required to fix the account...)
I may do another small fundraise in the near future. I get by and don't really lose or make money on the site (varies but generally self-sustaining), but if we pool even some small amounts I can pre-pay a few things which usually comes with a nice discount and protects me from any unexpected out-of-pocket.
I am currently annoyed enough with these apostrophes to see if I can't at least Band-Aid a fix. The story is that Amazon finally forced a database upgrade from an ancient version, and while it generally worked it messed up some of the text encodings. It's surely fixable but I avoid brittle areas of the forum software like the plague in lieu of stability. But, imma have to look at this one.
