Kony 2012 - Help Increase Public Outcry
There's been some buzz about this video on HL so I decided to post it as well as offer some advice.

Happy Valentine's Day!
As an extra special Valentine's Day treat I added the ability to donate on behalf of someone else. So show that special someone how much you truly care this Valentine's Day and get them a shiny Amulet of Ru, or a sparkly Chronos Gem, the specialty they've always wanted, or if you...

Explanation of recent slowness and temporary downtime
Hi All,
