Year:2011

This is a brief summary of various events in the PPC, Real World Time and HST-wise, during the year 2011.

''Note: Links to the Board older than 2012 are broken thanks to YourWebApps deciding to be evil. Fortunately, Tomash archived everything as far back as mid-2008, and hS put all that plus scattered post titles from even earlier up in a set of Gdocs for posterity. Links to the Board can be replaced with archive links by anyone who has the time.''
