Updates
There haven't been many posts lately because I've been held up with some other projects but now I'm concentrating on some big updates for Vorbb. As you can see we have a new blog theme which is amazing! The best part is that it's available for free to anyone. On that not, im also updating the forum theme to something different from the current one which should be out very soon.
Those are only two of the many improvements that you will be seeing around here!
