I won't get into the details, but just know that it worked.

If you noticed, we were down for a while since this morning (EDT, GMT-4). I was trying to install one of two plugins that would pre-parse posts separately and sped up.

Well, I gave up on that, but either way, I'm confident enough that Dashing got faster. We disabled Forum Jump and installed a plugin that pre-parses sigs. Both have made viewing many parts of Dashing faster, and it will hopefully improve our shotty Alexa reputation of saying that 59% of sites are faster than us.

In the next little while, we'll be changing the theme to Blaze Dashing 2.0. The main changes is that the theme overall is more SEO friendly, we added text-shadow to everything, and we will implement the first wave of text ads, which will generate more revenue for the forums. All in all, the theme will build a stronger Dashing while making sure everything is still the old Dashing you, the users, love. And the money we raise will only go back to Dashing, or go to other organizations on behalf of Dashing. At the end of the day, we're only believing in getting stronger.

Everything's back up now. We were suspended because the host (*cough*brad*cough*) didn't pay for his bills, so I ended up paying for it around an hour ago. He now owes me some money. I wrote down everything that happened on my forum, if you want more details.

Anyways, that'll do for now.

So whenever you want to hide some text, you can just get effed, use the new "sp" tags.

Code:
[sp]Hidey text here.[/sp]

Spoiler:
Hidey text here.

Hurray!]]>

We would like to congratulate MyBB in releasing 1.6 today! It's going to be introducing some cool, new features for you the users of this forum! As you guys might know, we are powered by MyBB, and we will be making the update very soon (maybe when 1.6.1 comes out), but I'm in no rush at the moment. Anyways, go check out MyBB.com if you haven't already. Maybe you'll find something that you might think we should install.
