First and foremost I would like to apologize for the recent downtime that we experienced. Initially we were only meant to be down for about an hour, but user error (on my part) caused us to have to rebuild the database back piece by piece. One lesson I learned is that you should not be high while messing with your production server, even if you think you are only touching the non-production "beta" site.

    Well I'll stop beating around the bush. Here we are with the latest and greatest version of Smokedot. Please take notice of the "Forums" link in the navigation block over to your left. We have integrated phpBB with Drupal to allow everyone the opportunity to post and communicate whatever they may. There are a few minor cosmetic changes that will be made in the very near future, but I think you all would rather live with them than have Smokedot down any longer.

Update: 4-14: Yes folks, Cobain thrashed Smokedot while high, it wasn't the first time and it probably won't be the last. We did get flung into this upgrade without much notice, but at least we're running the latest version of Drupal on our production server. I'm still trying to figure out the new UI and the new features, so please bare with me. I'm still looking for newsies and content writers, if you're interested and have a firm grasp of the English language, email me at phusion at smokedot.org and I will get back to you ASAP. We are also looking for loyal forum dorks to help moderate and generate community, so check out the forums! There are still bugs, and like our dopey admin mentioned, some cosmetic changes that need to happen before the site is at 100%. I would like to thank everyone who has been contributing news, linking us and giving feedback, it really helps. We'd be nothing without you. Keep on smokin'.  Oh yeah, I just made an introductory post in the Forums, go read mine and make one yourself.
