Possible Downtime Early Jan 2012

I've just been informed by my service provider that the package the FMA Forum is on is no longer supported, and I might have to switch to a new package. I don't know if this will be done seamlessly, so expect some downtime during the transition.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A new year, a new hope for better times. Have a good one and be safe everyone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND SEASON'S GREETINGS!!!

Merry Christmas to all FMAF members and practitioners of the art.
