TC News you can

SquadFirst+
SquadFirst revolutionized the way CMDRs produced their websites. Since its conception over 25 squadrons had chosen to use a SquadFirst site. But, we weren't satisfied with just making a squadron management script. So, we began to make a website management script for wings, then for ships, and for battlegroups. But, why stop there? Soon enough support was added for the Infiltrator Wing, the Dark Brotherhood, and the Hammer's Fist.
The end result is SquadFirst+, one of the most ambitious projects ever created by the Internet Office. For the past month, MAJ Alex Foley has been developing the next generation of management scripts. And today, it makes me very proud to announce that SquadFirst+ v2.0.0 has been released. 6976 lines of code. Over 100 man hours of work. It's the upgrade that a project like SquadFirst deserved.
Also included with SquadFirst+ are 4 new themes. A new theming system within SF+ makes it much easier to make your own theme, having to know practically no PHP whatsoever. The new themes featured are AT-AT for the Hammer's Fist (by Alex Foley), Emperor's Hammer: Classic Scenes, the new default theme for SF+ (by Alex Foley), Stonesaber, a great new Dark Brotherhood theme (by MAJ Xander Drax), and TIE Phantom, a holonet-looking new theme for the TIE Corps (by MAJ Xander Drax and FA Leeson).
With SquadFirst+ comes a new SquadFirst website located still at http://squadfirst.minos.net. Besides a new design, the new site also hosts The Registry, which houses a master list of all SquadFirst+ sites. Gain inspiration, find custom themes, check out custom code; whatever the end result, The Registry will extend SquadFirst+ into a community of developers. We hope you enjoy SquadFirst+!
On a side note, SquadFirst+'s release means that there should be no TC unit without a site, as per the TC Internet Guidelines. Unit leaders (CMDRs, WCs, BGCOMs, etc.) who do not comply will be recommended to the FO for removal.

News:
Very slow week here in
Vampire. Last week we were at 80 Citations, and we're still there this
week...better than them going down :)
Other
News:
In this section this week,
i'd like to put something completely non-TC related. I'd like to thank my
annoying, arrogant, and gender challenged sister-in-law for making the trip back
here, to help me with the wife and kids for a few days...giving poor old tired
Vinny a break. Never thought i'd be thanking that woman. As soon as my gratitute
wears off...i'll be happy to sell her to the highest bidder....bids will open up
at 0.25 cents.
