Northern Attack update

For all of you who have written in, Northern Attack is experiencing some technical difficulties. I’ve been in touch with James, NA’s administrator/creator, and he is aware of the problem and working on a solution.

(Northern Attack is a blog/discussion forum site for The Office, and one of the original inspirations behind OfficeTally.)

In the meantime, feel free to leave messages for James and your fellow NAers here!
