All's In Order

Well, it looks like I managed to get everything working OK in terms of the domain name. The hardest issue was getting the Mail Exchanger, or "MX Record" set up correctly. Though all the documentation I could find was very ambiguous, I'll save the reader the pain and agony of figuring this out for himself. Basically, an MX record is just a secondary field of your DNS record that pertains to e-mail forwarding. Put simply, all it does it tell mail servers where to send messages so that they find their way to your account. Why isn't this just part of the main DNS info like everything else? Don't ask me, but my hunch is that making it too easy would put a lot of IT guys out of work ;)

Also of importance: The forums are up and running now. Hopefully they're configured to everyone's liking. Also, the main website is up and running in a relitavely decent manner. It will be improved and expanded, but for right now it's ugly but effective.
