There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The label says it all . . . "All manmade materials . . . Made in China." There was, obviously, a reaction between the Never Wet and the radioactive industrial waste contaminants :yikes:. . . I mean, really, how do you think China gets rid of hazardous waste? They make it into things to sell to the USA! :roflblack:

STORIES TO BE TOLD !!
As many of you know I spent near 6 years in Chin-a and another 8 months in Vietnam.
While in China I learned many things, most of which I will leave out at this moment to stay on topic of HAZARDOUS WASTE !! Most of the concentration of Hazardous Waste is in the Pearl River Delta area. For those who do not know this area, it is near Hong Kong the city of Shenzhen heading inland East towards Guangzhou (where I lived) the turning South to South East down past Zhongshan ending up at Zhuhai where you can jump across to Macau Island. There are a number of small cities and villages along this route too numerous to mention. This is all low lands area where most of the rivers south of Shanghai flow to. Shanghai is another low land and same situation predominantly for the north of Chin-a (as the Vietnamese pronounce it).
In years past Chin-a used many pesticides and defoliants of all kinds for farming (still do, DDT and others). Over time these Hazardous Wastes wash out of the farm land soil and into the streams and rivers finally ending in these low land Delta areas ending in the oceans.
My first time there in 2003 there was a small river near the apartments I live in. My first time past the river it was very dark and has a horrible smell emanating from it. Several days later I could see an oily glistening shine on the water. The smell was unbearable! I inquired with friends, they all say it is normal and normal for most rivers.
Years later I was walking with a girl and I noticed so many silver shiny things floating in the river by here house. Looking closer I see they are dead fish !! The girl just laughed ! I was not amused....
Again a few years later I was at a friends house in her little village. We went out for a walk and had to jump this little stream (more like a drainage ditch). I stopped and looked at it. The water was low at the time but you could see the high water line black all the way down to and including the water. You could not see into the water an 1/8h inch. I asked her why is it so black, she pointed to a large metal building maybe 60' long and said that is a plastic factory, there are many in this area. Nothing more needed to be said.
Don't worry about me, I will probably never get into an accident at night time. They can see me coming for miles away and no need for headlights from my glow after eating all that radioactive food.

I had the same experience with this "crap" and it left my boots with a cruddy film all over them and it peels off if any thing even brushedsagainst it. I did follow the directions exactly and in order, but the stuff is junk!!
I did get my money back from Lowes where I bought it. My boots will never be the same though!:yikes:
