I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

4 years, still hasn't ran.
It's not easy, but then again, it shouldn't be.
Easy means you have money, and money means you run 911, M3, S4 etc.
I think there's more pride in doing it the grassroots way.
