    Long story short. Old place was sold. New owner placed it on PFA servers. Users were tired of it not working. @ChrisTurk became the savior and built us a new home.

    MTG got sold to some anonymous lady, she put it on the cheapest servers she could find, site wouldn't work at all for multiple weeks, she never said shit to a single person (mods, users, Nathan, nobody).

    We started this place, shenanigans & batch dances ensued, anonymous lady apparently sold it to the Russian mob and AFAIK no one has gone back since.

    Does anyone else have trouble reading the dollar amounts next to the progress bar in MTS? At least in the dark theme? It could just be as I do admittedly have fairly bad eyesight but to me the colors are both dark so I have to really focus in to see them or otherwise they just mush together, or actually click it to bring up the window of course. @Kadauchi any chance we could get a color with a little more contrast than that green? Like light blue, orange, white, etc...

    This is why I walk everywhere. Fuck cars, and fuck public transportation. Fuck inline skates, too.

    Not driving it enough can be a problem too. In fact if I remember right, it's part of @ChrisTurk 's problem. Gas can do bad things if it sits too long.

    This is why my car is so messed up. I let it sit and rot for over a year. Apparently its a bit counter-intuitive, but machines actually like to run every so often. WHOOPS.
    Water pump
    Spark plugs
    Brakes
    All the associated flushing/hosing in relation to those things. Pretty much anything made of flexible plastic/rubber is now gone lol.

    YUUUUUUUUUUUPP.
