Happy Birthday Oxyliquit!

It now has been 2 years since Oxyliquit first breathed the air.

Oxyliquit has been the idea of a community platform, however - the diminishing positive response in large attributable to the withering of Nitro and Og support in general leaves me with one laughing and one crying eye.

As this is a completely community driven application, it lives and dies with its community.

That said, I still think Oxyliquit is a good source for Nitro, so it will stay as long as there are still interested people browsing through it, it might however reopen in a slightly different form.

I thank everyone who has ever contributed to Oxyliquit in any way. Thank you.
