New Shirts Coming!

Vote which shirts you want to see first!

Among the designs we present, a number of them don’t get shown. Also, many designs we do for pins, posters and stickers can do quite well on a shirt, so we’re looking back at all of our ideas and presenting them in classic top notch Fangamer fashion. Let us know what your favorites are!

Whew, it’s been a few long months.

And you guys thought this blog would never get updated…

Well to recap what’s happened since April(!), we launched the new forum without too terribly much of a hitch. There’s been a few hiccups along the way, things not working after caching issues, Passenger issues (which, thankfully, have been fixed with the later versions), Textile issues, logins ‘sticking’ instead of forcing people to logout, and login issues with the main site.

You can’t see it here, but the subscriptions show updates to your favorite posts in the same manner as well!

The Train Keeps Chugging: Woo-WOO!

It’s been awhile since Reid has made a post. Things are going quite smoothly. The train has left the station and we’re on a roll! While I’m not as wordy as Reid, I’d like to start about some fancy features we’re implementing, and Reid’d like to show you a couple of new layout images. More after the jump!
