I've been listening to a lot of people moan and groan about the discussion on healthcare reform that the Obama administration has been trying to push forward. Frankly, a lot of it sounds like the scare tactics and plain fear of change that some people are used to... particularly when all of the opposition comes from conservatives.

Now, before I go further, I don't consider myself liberal, nor am I by any means conservative. I don't identify myself as either Democrat or Republican...

I've noted that TNJobs will be going away when we release the new site, but I haven't made much mention of SpeedZone as of late.

SpeedZone, our RCT/NoLimits file showcase, has had a history dating back to 2001, when it was completely in the forums. We then moved to a version 2.0, designed and built by Davin Pavlas, which was a complete bust (anyone who remembers that... kudos to you).

I drew from those who volunteered, along with those who gave me a note by email or other means to test the features of the new site. Some of them were even testers in the last redesign back in 2003.

However, I can't do any imports as of yet since we are waiting on a couple of components for it to work the way it should We're hoping for that to happen over this...

With about two months before we relaunch TNv4, I have *most* of the forum stuff complete. In fact, it gets hard for me to look at this site and how narrow it is.

I've started to work on the main part of the site, particularly the news. This is the highlight of the changes, because this will totally change how we think about and do news.

We'll be going to a blog-style format, allowing for more original posts as well as our traditional news. Best of all, comments can...
