> 'sup w/rinkworks 4 y2k? like, will all of the cool stuff like adventure games live, market.gam, and all the really cool features be lost?

No. The web server is a UNIX system, which are a lot less prone to the Y2K bug than PC's because of the way they represent the date internally (it's as the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970). RinkWorks is Y2K compliant, but even if it wasn't it wouldn't take me long to fix the issues that would arise, as I've written all the code myself and know what it all does. Where the problems are are with big corporations that have huge amounts of code written by people that often are no longer working for them.

So rest assured, we'll be around through the new year and beyond. :-)
