safe keeping
Upload images to your own server to be safe. Tinypic does delete its images after a while.

editing
♚ As per usual, feel free to add your own header/ edit bloody anything you want to.

F.A.Q.
If you have problems with a layout, please post them at the FAQ. I unfortunately I cannot help with stylistic edits, but as I said before, go nuts doing so.
oh, and yeah:
Nothing I can think of at the moment.

25.03.12: re-upped background image on buttons etc.
