Updates

20:
iSoaker.com
has begun to undergo a face-lift off-line. At present, it is currently
not known when the updates will be completed and posted. It is hypothesized
that the changes will become public around the time when the 2001 line
of SuperSoakers is announced. Until then, iSoaker.com is looking for visitor
input about what you like or think needs improving with iSoaker.com. If
you have any suggestions, please send me an email. Go here
for contact information.
08:
With the approach of autumn coming for the Northern regions, the SuperSoaker
season here draws to a close. As such, iSoaker.com
will be slowing down as there are not as many developments
during the fall months. However, as the new year approaches, be sure to
check back as information on the 2001
line of SuperSoakers is released. Other site updates will still occur,
only not as frequently.
01: Welcome to September!
September tends to mark the end of the northern soaking season and the
countdown until fall. iSoaker.com
will be soon going into off-season mode. During off-season time, update
posting frequency will decrease while more
changes
are made to the site offline to prepare for the 2001 season. A sizeable
update is planned for the future, but time will tell when work will commence
on the change and when it may be posted. For now, the lastest update is
the posted: iSoaker
Elite: Part VI. Enjoy!
