There's a lot of stuff that I said I wasn't going to do because I just don't have the time. I had hoped that Mantra could take up the code writing/modification, but it seems that he really had no time/desire, either. Why Chrusers claims to have no admin authority, I don't know, either; he has FTP, SSH, and board super admin authority. Also, you didn't post the whole portal convo with Chruser. I agreed to the portal, and actually set it up and did the 8 hours of work to fix its flaws; I just told him we need to come up with stuff to put on it before it goes live.

Also, I've been wanting a new forum style for years, but I'm not an artist, and Chruser has never seemed to have the time to finish designing anything.
