Wheres the RSS-Feed for the Forum?

Hi,

With the introduction of the new (and great looking !) 43folders Homepage it seems that the RSS-Feed for the Forum was swiped away.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
