Revision as of 16:06, 28 November 2012

Unless there's objections, I'm going to replace the "Forum Updates" section of the main page with a "On this day..." section, just to give the site a bit more life. The stuff generated from this user page is too slow and crappy so I've hard-coded a bunch of "big" events below.

This is worthless for about 320 days of the year, but it's better than a broken RSS feed. Feel free to re-word things and add more stuffs. -Black Squirrel 14:09, 28 November 2012 (CST)
