Ok, my reason for not being so great on the posts in the last week is... summer homework stuff!
Basically, I have a chemistry packet due on the first day of school, so I've been working on that, leaving me with less time to make posts.
Also, I'm writing them right now so when I have a few done I'll get them out. Bear with me :)

Trialga: Breakfast of Champions
... or something like that.
Anyway, I'm here today to talk about Trialga's story. It's been almost eight months since we first started up, and probably more than that since we began our plans for the game.
We've gone through a lot, lost some members and gained more, and recently we achieved 5,000 posts on our new forums. The new forums are doing well, and I am glad we started over... it's really helped.
Well, now for a story-
Trialga forums were started on December 8, 2006. We registered an Invisionfree forums and started our little project. We bought Realm Crafter and got to work. We had high hopes, and found that not much was getting done.
We had our ups and downs about staff, a teensy weensy security issue, blah blah blah.
We moved to a site that I bought (and of course still run), and put the forums on an IPB 2.2 board. We had a good time there, more or less. We hired a bunch of game staff at one point.
And then came the decision to stop production on the game, which pretty much had already happened. Not much was getting done at that time. Jeremy had become part of the team, and I decided to make new forums at one point, with him as a co-admin.
We made the new forums and after about a week of work unveiled them, warning that the old ones would soon be closed. Sure enough, we shut them down and redirected them to the new ones after a little while.
A month or two later and here we are today. I think we've done a great job, and that we're here to stay for a long while. I enjoy running the site and the forums, as well as expanding them.
We've added a few new forums from interest shown in particular things, as well as suggestions. We have a great team, and are always expanding.
We also have something coming up soon that I've been programming that I think you guys will enjoy, so keep your eyes open and keep producing your stories and artwork if you catch my drift (and if you don't, that's ok because it's probably hard to think of what the heck I'm talking about, but it'll be good).
Again, great job everyone... let's keep it up!

Computer: FIXED!
Great news! My desktop computer is fixed, and I am happy!
This means I can go back to my dual screen ownage and all that good stuff. Plus my gig of RAM. So basically nothing in terms of my online time changes, but I'm on a better computer, and I'm happy :D
Short post today, I'll think of something to write about Trialga for the next post.

My Posts
Well, taking a look at the list of my posts, I realized I don't really do that many posts a month. It's about one every three days, though, so I guess I'm doing ok. It's just that sometimes it's hard to talk about stuff because I would have not been doing much that day.
Anyway, it's just so hard to come up with posts sometimes. Maybe I can figure out some stuff for next month, or I'll just write entries ahead of time to make it easier for me.

Forum Front
Hello everyone!
Today I'm here to talk about a project I've been working on with the two owners: Forum Front.
Forum Front is a website where you can create a free forum and have it hosted for free. We currently offer IPB 1.3 hosting and have plans to offer phpBB and SMF.
I am a server admin there (one notch below the top) and have done quite a bit. We should be going to beta with the IPB hosting tomorrow or so, so it's going well!
Come take a look: Forum Front

I have news about my site, ProudOf.net today.
Recently I have been working on it quite a bit, and have almost completed the administration area, with one part left, which shouldn't take long at all.
Next up is finally the boards! I'll continue to update you as I make progress.

Webcomics
Well this is a fun subject!
I love to read webcomics and if I find a good one I'll read all of it from the first to latest. I've been looking around and have quite a few that I read that are hilarious. I enjoy reading them whenever updated.
Recently I've been reading CTRL+ALT+DEL and Questionable Content, two that are pretty good. (Note that some content may be objectionable to younger children. Don't read it if you're a sissy)
Is there a funny comic you read? Do tell me, I'd like to check it out!
Sorry for the short post today, but I'm having trouble coming up with stuff to write about, so tell me stuff to write about as well!

Time Flies
Wow... I was bored last night and thinking about the day, and realized: Trialga has been around for seven months already!
It's incredible that that much time has gone by already. We started as a small Invisionfree board, that actually had a lot of posts, though not much actual good discussion and all that. Now we have grown to a large forum with a lot of activity and good discussions.
I am very proud of what we have accomplished in this amount of time. We have grown a lot and I am glad we are still going strong.
I'd like to thank all of the members who have helped us achieve this, without you it would be nothing.
Hats off to Trialga!

AP GRADES!
Well, the long wait is over. Finally, AP grades have come in the mail. Yes, the results from those terrible tests back in May are here.
AP exams are graded on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best. A score of 3 is passing, and pretty good in some exams, 4 is fairly good as well, and 5 is excellent.
I shall start off with the lower scores...
First off, government. I didn't really like that class, and didn't really know much of the material. And it shows in the scores. Unfortunately, I got a 2 on my government exam, although it's not something that really bothers me much.
In English, I didn't really understand some of the terms, and wasn't very good at rhetorical analysis, so I didn't do well in this exam either. I really would've liked a better grade, but all I got was a 2.
Now on to the better two exams.
In physics, I am happy to say I did pretty damn good for someone who struggled through the class the whole year. The AP grade I got? I received a 3, which I am damn proud of. That's pretty good considering how hard the exam is.
And the last exam...
Calculus was a fairly easy class. Well, I wouldn't say it was easy per say, but I did do well in it. On the mock exam, I got a 5, which did me well for the final exam, which it was part of. So what was the grade for the actual exam?
I got a 1...
JUST KIDDING! No, I actually got a 5 on the exam, which I am VERY proud of!
Well, that should be it for today's post. I'll see you all soon!
