Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Chuck Yeager RIP

I can't believe he was still alive. Always assumed he died relatively young as a result of his line of work!

Don't make em like that anymore.

That man deserved to get to the big trible digits. He served in 3 wars, WW II , The Cold War and Vietnam. He could have been an astronaut except for he did not have a collage degree. He advanced the technology of its era and science too. How wrong was that. I would bet he would have flown any space rocket better than anyone. The man had zero fear. He is a legend.
RIP Chuck.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.
