http://dev.europeinruins.comBut I'm not sure how fast he'll get it done and it's absolutely mandatory that we move away from the forums and into our own layout by August 29th (the magazine release).

I also have someone else working on some photoshop mockups...
Oh, here's the link to the template I downloaded:
