[S.E. News] - Site Upgrades
Dec 09, 2007 - 6:28 PM - by Kernel_Killer
The site is now updated to the latest greatest release, which added quite a few new features to the forum. Poke around, and see what you think.

We also added new smilies to replace the old smilies that were needing a serious update. The old ones are still there just in case there is one you can't live without.

If there are any other additions you would like to see, please let us know. ;)

FreeBSD ZFS More of A Reality
Jul 12, 2007 - 1:20 AM - by Kernel_Killer
