Finally, it's done. After months, and months...and months, of sitting around creatively brain dead - it's finally done. There will no doubt be tweaks, additions, revisions and general mucking about with this layout - but it is what it is. I would like at some point, to incorporate a CMS system on this page - or somehow squeeze in a "wordpress" like "blog" to easier facilitate updates and random rants. I'm sure Nolan has saved up a few words he'd like to say, so we'll get him in here shortly.

The Forum is online - it should all look familiar, though I've made some changes to the categories and whatnot - again, nothing here is set in stone and the overal flow and direction of the forum (and even the entire site) will of course follow along with public feedback and suggestion. If you have any such ideas, please drop them in the forum. Unfortunately my backup of the old forum was corrupted - apologies. We'll have to start fresh.

In the end - I apologize to the masses for the site/forum being offline for so long. I have received a number of emails in the past months replying to our feelings toward the attitudes and behavior on the forum. Interestingly enough, nearly everyone who wrote in agreed with us - I only had two (2) responces of a negative nature. Regardless, I thank all of those who took the time to write in to say hello.

That said, the forum will be watched with a more strict eye. I will again reiterate: We will in no way impede or prevent the so called "freedom of speech" - within our own terms. Any content, comments or rants of racist or unnecessarily offence nature will be removed. Authors of said content will be given ONE warning - if he/she continues being a fucktard, you get hit with the ban stick. Permanently. Your post count, or self imposed elite status will have absolutely no bearing on this. Respect your fellow human beings. Respect your fellow Tool fans. If you don't agree with this - kindly feel free to fuck off now.

Enjoy.

NOTE - It's been brought to my attention that the new site looks pretty wacked while using the Safari browser - if you're using it, and seeing some blowout from the gradients, try Firefox while viewing this site. I'll try to fix it later...
