A few noticeable changes have been made to the site. First off, the FFA Links page is still down. The code was lost and it'll take a little while to make it from scratch again. A few people have pointed out some minor bugs on the boards and some of them have been cleaned up as well, and the rest should slowly be rounded up too. In the Vault Store, now only items currently in-stock are listed by default. The Vault is the place to find info about games so it seemed redundant to list every game in the Vault Store, though the option is still available. The store is still going strong and is really keeping the site going. On the server side, the inventory is now directly tied in with the order process so it's updated appropriately whenever an order is placed, shipped, or cancelled. An e-mail is also sent for every step of the order process. The invoice process for Vimm's Lair Hosting has been automated as well, with accounts being updated and invoices sent automatically. Usually behind the scenes stuff isn't posted in news updates, but this stuff really took a while to get working correctly and makes maintenance a whole lot easier. The inventory listing should be far more accurate from now on since human error has been eliminated.
