My official “Southbound is back” post

Tadaaah!!! Welcome to the new and improved Southbound. It’s more than just a new header, by the way. Read on to find out what to expect from Southbound’s relaunch (and to get an insight on why it had to happen in the first place).

Uncle Moe’s Shawarma Hub

No feature post for today, I was fooling around with the forum :)

Just want to let you guys know that I’m not posting anything today because I’ve been busy setting up the forums. The general structure is there, though there aren’t any threads or posts yet… yeah, it looks kinda kawawa that way, but at least it’s moving along! There’s a throwaway thread that Hanzel started for […]

Updates on the Re-Relaunch

Yes, I’m still alive :)

Announcements and Workshops Galore!

Yes, we still haven’t posted anything since last week. :p I’d love to, really, but I can’t find the energy. Must be the heat and humidity. Or maybe it’s burnout. Never fear, a long vacation is on the way (I’m talking to myself, by the way…). In the meantime, I’ll barrage you all with announcements […]

Hmmm… Did my permalinks just get screwed up?

I bet it’s because Wordpress is punishing me for not posting the whole week. :p I apologize to all our regular readers (hi Resty!!!) for being remiss. Things have just been mind-numbingly crazy the past week (who am I kidding? The whole year!). But, as was so astutely pointed out to me recently, that’s no […]
