March Update

I have made a few performance updates and bug fixes to game boards in a recent update.

I also have noticed a spike in online users using the site.  If you experience any issues with performance please email me at admin@gamestructor.com with as much information as you can.

Patrons thank you very much for your support, your donations are keeping the site running, and motivate me to add more features.
