Super massive content update

Gutted just about every page on the site. There's more of a focus on trim information without a lot of BS. No more links to friend's sites and software and shit that didn't really matter. Rewrote / updated the text on some pages to update their accuracy and revamp based on my own writing skills progressing. Oh, I also wrote this bitchin' age calculator plugin for Smarty:
