New Forum Topics
We love that everyone is taking part in our "forums":http://goneraw.com/forums (which weren't even a part of Gone Raw on on launch)! We've added two new topics to our expanding conversation.
First, we've added a dedicated place to talk about specific "health issues":http://goneraw.com/forums/8. This would cover anything from detox symptoms to specific ailments.
Also, we are thrilled with all of the folks new and transitioning to raw. We've created a space ("new to raw":http://goneraw.com/forums/8) for asking questions and chatting about that journey. We don't expect that everyone in this forum is going to be 100% raw - this is about your journey and initial questions.
Along the same lines, we'll be posting a few articles about being new to raw at the top of the section. If you'd like to help us write about raw basics, please let us know!
Enjoy!

We Are Back!
Well, it's been a _really long week_ for us here at Gone Raw Headquarters.
As many of you are aware, a combination of *horrible events* conspired on Monday morning to bring our little site down. We had wind storms, we had power outages, and those who host our website made a small mistake as well!
Worst of all, our best minds couldn't figure out how to fix it all for two days. Literally - we had three ace programmers giving it all the time they could spare, and it still took that long. Luckily, we *also* found a bunch of little bugs to fix along the way, so now Gone Raw is back and *better than ever.*
We apologize with all our hearts for this horrible inconvenience, and will do everything we can to keep this kind of thing from happening again. Thank you for all of your support.
New Features, and our 2000th Member
We have a couple of exciting announcements today. First of all, congratulations to "yammygirl":http://goneraw.com/account/show/2532, our 2000th member! Second, we would like to thank "our first sponsors":http://goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/1748. Thanks partly to their support, we're able to spend a little more time working on the site this month.
Which leads us to our third announcement - "better recipe printing":http://goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/1761! This is probably the most requested feature of all, and we hope to have more time in the near future to keep improving Gone Raw for everybody. Thanks!
London Calling
It is an exciting time here at Gone Raw. We've just passed our 1,000th recipe posted and Ray and Kandace are heading to London for a design festival this 15-26th. A huge thanks to "Vaughn":http://goneraw.com/account/show/80 for helping out while we are away!
