podcast revived

Well, if you weren’t living under the rock you should already be aware of this ….

After about 9 months without any life signal, the phpBB podcast saw another episode, its 6th one … but not on the old site but on a new home, with a different template (propress instead of subSilver).

  1. reading that SHS` grandmother passed by (condolences to him :()

  5. Acyd Burn announces this (hopefully last RC)
