I apologize for whatever slowness people may be encountering with the forum currently. The load is fairly heavy and many people are creating connections to our database which causes the forum to slow down with many queries. (Which is why this page loads so much faster without all those SQL connections)

I am trying to find a way in making everything less server intensive. Please be patient in this very critical time. =) I will post news here the minute I receive it.

East West Bank has graciously given 1000 calendars to MKF! Thank you so much East West Bank for this gift. It is truly wonderful. We certainly enjoy flipping the pages seeing Michelle’s beautiful image month to month.

Read On.. for more details!

If that confuses any of you, it’s just moved to a new directory. We felt that it would be best in case there were any problems related to our SQL database that we could post here, or any news that people might miss such as Michelle’s post. We feel a quick overview or the announcements seemed to be ignored or missed by many, and this would be a more easy way for us to spread important news related to the forum may it be a new contest, perks for members, board updates, etc. Also, if anyone have any questions to the specific news being reported, members can simply leave a comment.

We know that people will still link to the forum directly, but several people in the past have asked for a more convenient method of how to contact Michelle and we figure a blog-like front page entry to the forum might be helpful for such information, including the link to our FAQ, our chat area, and whatever information we may find helpful to users in the coming months.

We are certainly open to and welcome suggestions on whatever else you might like to see on the front page. You may leave comments for us here.

The new link is http://mkforum.net/forum/. It’s sporting a new default look, “earthy” and “warm” tones for our Michelle. However, not all buttons are updated yet, which is why they are still in the holiday look
