Site Updates 6.24

Several changes have been made in the past few weeks. First of all everything was updated to the latest version including the site CMS and the 3 standard modules Blog, Gallery, and Downloads. Since then we've adapted several other usefulness, of including the ever popular Arcade system which enables players to compete against other players for points for classic games. Other things include the return of the forum icons which now dim for no new posts and highlight for new posted threads, as well as the return of the award/badge icons for users which display earned award/badges of users in his/her own profile and topics. A new feature lately integrated was the signature control which enforces the overall site rules on sig limits and permitted posted areas. Users have been neglecting the site rules including the signature size rules, the new system will check prior to saving now. And users have been neglecting to disable signatures in the main RP foras for ease reading though the various lengths of replies, for now on all threads in the RP fora's are not visible no matter what settings you have set on your profile; which will prevent users from being warned for not disabling their signatures in the main rp at the same time. =D

Aside that, nothing else really new. No word yet on a suitable and compatible RPG and Avatar system for this new forums. We've been primarily focusing on what we have rather than want, which is a good thing and always should focus with what we have. As of late, we managed to integrate the old website and forum together. If you head on over to the website you'll notice that the main page states the newest discussion in web news, eventually this will be replaced at a later date to a site specific discussion for the users to request pages for the website and provide feedback as well as a means for the web site (not to be confused with the forum staff) to organize and build the site even further.

Tons of public gallery submissions have been made recently by fans for fans, the addition of a flash gallery was added last night including a sample flash video, various classic arcade games were and are still in the process of being added to the Arcade System, and 1 arcade tournament has been established in Space Invaders.

More tournaments such as this will be established later, in which the winners can win more than just fame, such as points and rewards. But again all that and more to be announced later.

After looking over the finical statements this week of all the investments, payments, back-payments at the cost of this server and site we've realized we're nearly close to the end of the site budget and hope that users will once again be able to support the site's finical aid department in keeping this site online and available aside from us digging into our own pockets as in the past. Even $1 would be beneficiary to us all, we seriously don't expect users to dish out $100 (not that we minded =D) for their donations, but if every 4000 user donated $1 to the site, that would cover up to 3 full years for all necessary payments and license renewals this site and server require, just to show as an analogy.

At this point, not much is planned on being worked on or added but always look forward here and in the chatroom for the latest and newest information! We are always growing and working our hardest in new and unexpected ways to ensure equality, security, enjoyment, participation, and satisfaction.

Well as of late some site changes were made. Here were the following worth mentioning.

1. New forum posting section titled 'Network' was added for computer related discussion.
