Today I decided it was time to clean up howbits.com and speed up and optimize the website.
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you. I will be doing most of my changes on the back end of the website, but it may cause the website to slow down as I am making backups of the website and rearranging files.
Thanks for your patience,
