The Evils of Windows

Well folks, the Syndicate is back. Where did it go the past few days, you ask? Let's just say that reinstalling windows is no picnic, especially when you have no choice. Yes, the site was dormant while the worlds worst OS decided to fail for no reason and require a complete refresh. It's all back to normal now, though and nothing was lost! No thanks to Mr. Gates, of course.
