hey you really outdid yourself with the announcement post. this would've been completed a lot earlier if it were not for my procrastinating, doing stuff during the day then having beers at night

but i've been using a crap laptop with 1gb of RAM which is far from optimal when i need like 5 tabs open, all of which use a little less resources than facebook (slow\crashy). so that is the only somewhat legitimate excuse for my sloth

how about changing the thread title to something like "Sonic Adventure Is Back Online (Again)!" ?

one more note is Jial deserves about 99% credit, this took him awhile to complete, which is why i made the above public, having another party involved in a project who takes forever to do minimal work is very bad for motivation especially when the project is in his free time
