Please do not be offended if you are not on the first page. This is a huge job (QQ I think you are a legend!) and if you have been left off it is either a keyboard error or an oversight. Please just ask to be re-added. I have removed all posters from the front page who are not on the list as they are the ones who have not been updated in over 100 days. Again, if you wish to be re-added I'm sorry, just leave a message and I will do so.
