We admins come from a time when an instance (or BBS, as we used to call them) were the nucleus of a thriving social community. We hope the Ninja Tea Room can recapture a little of what that was like. So please, comment, post whatever you like, and tell your friends!

This means that a first-time homebuyer needs to earn an annual salary of around $64,500 — which is over $10,000 higher than the average wage of Americans aged 25-34 — and up 13% from $57,222 a year ago.
