Even though it’s been over 12 years ago I still remember it quite clearly.

I've had a bad weekend and this final few hours have earned this weekend the title of "Worst weekend-Q3/2006".
All I really wanted was to host a few small communities about subjects I relate to, but lately it has turned from a small hobby experiment into a time consuming maintenance task with various small issues I [...]
