Oh, wow. You guys can't sticky posts either? What happened to the guy who created the sub? He just deleted his account and never said anything? That's such a bummer that things have been so difficult with setting it up.
If it wasn't already a decently sized sub, I'd just suggest starting from scratch on another. But, the progress you have been able to make so far is a step in the right direction at least. Also, Happy Independence day, by the way, bro!
