Dear Spartans,
It's been a long several months since you last heard from the E-zine team, and for good reason. The 405th is changing shape. Much like our community, we are growing and with a bigger user base bigger things are expected from us. We've been monitoring your suggestions for additional features not only on the Source but for the 405th as well. Under Adam and Vexona's leadership we have sculpted the new www.405th.com. While the portal has served us well for many years it is time we gave this site a makeover. Introducing, the new 405th Source and the new homepage for www.405th.com

For those of you with a slower connection who couldn't get the full effect of the quick screenshots I was to use, here they are in .jpg format for further inspection:

With that all said, no worries the forums will remain intact and be accessible from the front page. Comments or questions? Leave 'em below!
Cheers,

EDIT: I would imagine there is to be some expected downtime of the 405th.com either the day before or the morning of June 1st. Don't freak out, it means we're launching the new homepage and Murphy's Law tells us we'll have some opening bugs to work out. Bear with us, I promise it'll be worth the wait.
