Rumors Page
Many of you probably thought I abandoned the rumors page. I am presently looking for 1 or 2 people to update the Rumors page on a regular basis, if you are interested e-mail me.
Michael Day update
I've managed to talk with my sub-webmaster Michael Day. He's informed me that he is very busy and doesn't have the time to work on Netphoria on a steady basis at this present time. However he said that he will be able to work on the site on the weekends. During week days however I will probably be looking for someone to do his duties and like I said before it will be by invitation only for this job so don't e-mail me about.
