"I have a dream that one day..." the multi-player games and chat rooms will work again on Nonoba.

"I have a dream that one day..." when the multi-player games and chat rooms don't work again at Nonoba it will be for no more than a few hours a day.

"I have a dream that one day.." Nonoba will look to (what should be) its competitors for innovation and make this site much better than it is today and closer to what everyone wants.

Happy Birthday Martin Luther King, Jr., I know you must be rolling in your grave that the chat rooms and multi-player games are not back up. Happy 83rd birthday as I hope you are organizing your first Zombie march onto Washington D.C.,.... ummm, I mean Copenhagen... ummm, I mean Chicago.... to have your voice heard to fix the stale bread servers.

Happy 103rd Birthday Jean Bugatti. I once got a ride in your "Royale" and saw many others. Perhaps one day I could own one of your fine automobiles.
