We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I was poring over the Idaho Falls city code on an unrelated matter, and found an item that needs to be brought to your attention.
Apparently, it's illegal to store gun powder within the city limits. No weight limit mentioned, no specification (black powder v. smokeless), no "term of art"...
The Idaho Data Repository indicates that the judge issued a decision in law student Aaron Tribble's case against the UI on 12/7/2011. No news reporting has been done yet on it - does anyone in or near Moscow know the outcome?

Let's see what opportunities lie at the Hyde Park fair this weekend. Usually there are politicians' booths there - great opportunity to see how they really react to OC rather than fluff-piece position statements their staffers write for them! Good food, too....

Just wondered if anyone is going; fun event and quite an opportunity to educate at a well-publicized, well-attended, open-to-the-public event.
