I dont think anyone minds gremlins occasionally getting in the works. That is the nature of computer systems - there is always something going wrong at inconvenient times!
Commitment - yes well this comes in many forms and is directed by our passions and interests. There will be many useful paths of commitment and hopefully they will all lead to a more open and peaceful society but it is the sleeping masses which determine the direction we all move in and unless we can awaken a sufficient number we are all likely to follow them down the plughole unfortunately. Well, we have had enough warnings and we have been told what to do in as clear a way as possible but of course, no-one takes much notice. So now we have to live with our collective decision.
Fear is only a feeling of being out of control of the situation and feeling powerless and helpless. In each situation there is generally a choice which can be made and that in itself returns power to where it rightly belongs - to us not to the people who would like to control us.
I am sorry for the inconvenience the gremlins caused our users, we are still trying to clear out the mess, as qmantoo said, "Embrace change - you will need to this year I fear", I am not sure it is a year to fear (unless you have hatred in your heart), but it is a year in which we can make a difference in all that we do and call for (we just need to consider how strong our commitment is).

Thank you goggog, I have taken it off for now, the germlins deleted the original link to Mars anomaly reasearch site, will get it up and running as soon as possible.

I hope that the year of the dragon will bring some good-luck in our findings and by the way i am born in the year of the Tiger and in western astrology i'm a Lion, so two times a cat. (what are the chances)
This new year is the water dragon, it is believed the Year of the water Dragon will be marked by excitement, unpredictability, exhilaration and intensity, (so a roller-coaster year for us all) I was born in the year of the Boar (pig).
As for the gremlins, they seem to of messed up a few things, but I am sure their intentions where playful.

Q, thank you for bring this to my attention, the Recent Posts and Arcade are back on top, however it would seem we have some mischievous gremlins in the system, some members may find some features or privileges being activated or deactivated without notice, so please be patient until the fault is found and resolved.
And may I be the first to wish our members a very happy Chinese new year (23rd January) "Year of the dragon"
