So yeah... it's my fault, no one else to blame... really, no one else really on here. Oh well WTH is getting ready to launch soon so with any luck these forums will become active once I have some time to write a few (lots) of posts.
In the meantime I just finished the setup of the php extensions section of the site, working nicely so far, just got a feature or two to add and I'll be happy with it for now.
