| :. | Giftedness |
As this site grows, we will have more internal links and information about Giftedness and the experience of growing up Gifted. As it is, we have external resources right now. Most of these links are about Gifted children, not for them, but they're still very informative if you can get over the sensation of being a specimen under a microscope.

| The Haven globally recovered from the crash, but we still have a few problems left, mainly the fact that it is still impossible to edit something on the wiki. In order to fix this, we will hold a week-long maintenance starting on this day. We will also be implementing a lot of new stuff. Contact French Frog if you wish to participate to the effort. |

| Due to a crash of our former webhosting company, we experienced a month-long downtime. The forum, chat and portal are up again. The wiki should up again shortly soon. If you are a new member, you might have to reregister. If you had a comma in your username, then the comma disappeared due to MyBB 1.4.6 not allowing them because they generate bugs. We apologize for the inconvenience. |
