Listen up, bitches! Script Radar is going off-line for a while (a fortnight? a month? who knows?), so you're on your own. Please check in once in a while to see if we've rebooted, but for now we've decided to dust off some projects that have been shelved by us and make something of our lives.

So take care of yourselves and seen you soon. Mabuhay!
