The HUB

The internet is in danger.

Sounds like hyperbole, doesn't it? If you think so you haven't been keeping up on two bills currently moving through the American Senate and House: Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and Protect Intellectual Property (PIPA) in the Senate.

Should either or both of these bills pass, the underlying infrastructure of the internet would be irrevocably harmed and America would join countries such as Iran and China in censoring what you can see/hear internet wide. These bills are being referred to as an "Internet Blacklist."

Sites such as Reddit, Youtube, and this very website would not be able to operate under the new laws. If this is so horrible a threat, why haven't you heard of it?

We've been searching for the legendary Holy Grail for what seems like forever. It was probably the hardest change we've endured since I took over as webmaster on a cold day in hell around in late August of 2007. I'd never given up on restoring it - but it sure seemed like a pipe dream. Many of you might not have a clue about WTF I'm blabbering about. But as luck would have it, that dream was realized tonight around 8PM EST.

The Holy Grail has at long last been found: The Mark As Read Feature has Returned!
