hey - when you get a second, you should join the pyrates private forum. we have a social group(already invited you), that we've used for a while, but the forum is new and nicely organized - so the activity as of late, has been there.
to join - go to user cp - left side, group memberships - scroll down to Pyrates, select join - and I'll approve it, later.
welcome aboard - let me know if there's any issues.
