Various reasons, declining interest amongst them, but the clincher's the fact that I've effectively been banned from Apolyton for months (through no fault of my own).

Done.Anyway, some of you guys better get into that Apolyton/Community forum and bump that SL restoration thread, otherwise you're going to lose all of that valuable info from the Hints, Tips and Guides subforum.
