*sigh* We're not dead. . . not yet anyway. My extreme appologies go out to all. It was a brutal summer >.< The short of it is: I was busy > I went to Italy (internet was 10 Euros a day so. . . no internet) > got back + computer crashed > at the same time we were trying to get it fixed, I had to get ready for college > now I'm busy at college. However, life is settling down again so I will make the effort to revive this club. I'll go through the messages + member requests ASAP and conclude the contest we were supposed to have months ago (your submissions have not been in vain!) Hopefully you all will stick with us and for future reference, if it ever comes to the point where I can no longer run this club I'll make sure to pass it on to someone else
