This new site corrects a slew of issues with the current website while adding or improving a number of features we think should please everyone. Because of the downtime needed to transfer & verify data from the old site to the new,
Our Website Will Be Unavailable From 2:00pm MST Until 8:00pm MST, This Saturday February 25th.
After that, the site will be ready to take orders through our new streamlined order process.
Given how long we've been kicking around on the web, there's a ton of content that's being migrated at the same time, so if you happen to come across something gone awry (that we didn't already catch), we'd be awful appreciative if you could use the handy form that we'll be providing (links will be posted with the new site) for reporting missing/broken content, bugs, and of course general feedback.
Also, because of the way the passwords are encrypted on the current site, all passwords will be reset for the new site. In order to avoid spamming people, this will be purely opt-in, meaning you'll only be prompted to claim your account & set a password the first time you try to log in.

There's also a ton of new features and content I can't talk about just yet, but rest assured that there are some very cool things on the horizon.
