Has the issue been solved? If not then when will it be?

I don't think you guys get it. It's not some bug in the system that can just be removed and everything will go back to normal. In case some haven't noticed, the entire DNS server will sometimes go down altogether. The problem lies with the new server. Grenadiac had to downgrade when he was presented with financial troubles, so now traffic that was once easy to handle has become increasingly difficult. We'll either need to upgrade our server or remove features from the site using up bandwidth. Until then you guys just need to accept it and be thankful it's up at the moment.

I think emblems should be remove seeing as they have no clear purpose and not everyone will get one.

You don't get them you earn them. I've been here for a year now and I suppose I've done a lot :\

Not everybody makes $200,000 a year for their job, so lets take it away from those that make the effort to do so, 'cause that's unfair.

Dude, was that not messed up? They said the actor that plays Warrick couldn't come to terms for next season. But whether or not he died is up in the air. Same thing with Sara(Jorja Fox), that's why she left a few months back.

They do have a purpose, and everyone could get one if they deserved one. 100% of your statement was inaccurate.

I entered Bungie's photoshopping contest for Recon armor. I got so close, I even ended up in the "Honorable Mentions" but sadly, the recon armor slipped through my fingers. :cry:
Here's the Weekly Update with my Image on it. Mine is the one with Frank Connor holding a card with masterchief on it. It was first a batman poster.

Is Warrick the black dude? If so, he got arrested a little bit ago on drug charges. How did the episode end?

Saw Prince Caspian today. While the fighting scenes were better, and the kids weren't such big wussies, it seems they half assed the whole movie. It could have been a great movie, but it ended up just being something you watch if you want to see some cool fight scenes and a cheeky mouse.
