Minor Updates
Recently we have been making certain pages 'fall inline' with the rest of the forum. We also added that touch of home by using simple graphics and text to explain more features. Examples of this can be seen when you check who's online or use the quick reply box.
Threads now have a look and feel similar to that of the messageindex and so on. You will also notice our emphasis all over the forum using a link to explain what we are all about here (this points to the Help section).
New Rating System
Now members have a different star color based on their level on the forum:

You will also notice that the 'full bars' (those bars that show your max in Charisma, Experience, etc) are a bit different.
BANK!
Yep, now we have our own banking system for forum money (not real money). In this page you will be able to see the cost of certain services you can buy such as; your own home page, title, etc. We are working on it, and it will be up soon!
To access the bank just look for [Bank] next to your money amount on your posts.
Reinforced User Agreement
Now new users will not be taken to the boardindex or a thread, but to the 'first timers' page where they are once again reminded about their user agreement to post a message. To see the page that they see click here.
With this new feature we will be sure to know all the peepers who just take up bandwidth but do not want to support the community. Thanks for posting.
Who is doing what?
Since there are so many modifications here, a lot of what a user does may go unnoticed, but not anymore. Most actions can now be viewed via the who's online page. If you find an action that you would like shown, please let us know.
Updated are: Who is... watching quiz, chatting, logged on for the first time, viewing home page, playing a game and more.
Guest Limitations
We allow guests to see some of the forum so that they get a taste of what to expect. However, we noticed that they had access to somethings that we wanted to keep secret until they joined while still giving a peek. We have changed that and so the only thing guests can view will be the board index and message index. Profiles, recent posts and search have been disabled for guests.
