Just to let everyone know about some major changes that have been made to the site: I've expanded the powers of the global mods. They can now create, edit and delete boards/categories (but should always check with me before making such a big change to the site). I've also expanded the powers of some of the non-global mods by giving them more responsibility -- Redorblue01 is now the fifth, and final, moderator of the General Board (he axed for it, and he got it , and Elfie and Ape Killer are now mods in the New Members Forum. Also (a change more likely to be noticed), I've added a new category for the discussion of various myths and legends from real-life cultures. If anyone wants to apply for a moderator position in one of the new forums, PM me about it. And last, but definitely not least, the global mods can also edit profiles now -- so if you want a custom title, but also want to keep your stars, contact Eldae.

I've added two new sections to the site: Blizzard Games and Star Trek. Since this makes Belgarath and Elfie the moderators of at least 10 forums each on the site, I also promoted them to global moderator. This message will self-destruct.

I've added a couple new forums (a Humor forum and a forum devoted exclusively to polls in the Sound & Fury section, and a Halo forum in the Gaming section), added another global mod (SuperBassX84), and expanded the powers of the global mods so that Eldae can screw around with site settings enough to give people with custom titles stars (and global mod powers, where applicable). I've also instituted a points system so that people can be rewarded for doing good things for the site. Since this idea came from something Bass did on The Conclave, he's the first person to get any points, but everyone with at least one post has 2 points for registering an active account. See the points thread in the Updates & Announcements forum for an explanation of how points work, and how they can eventually become extra posts.

I've added a new forum, so those of us who watch "Charmed" can discuss it now, and I've made Fea a mod in three forums and given her a custom title (she requested the title, and I kind of pressured her into the modship ). Other than that, I'm still trying to get the site colors the way I want them, and have made it where global mods can change them as well if anyone (*cough*Elfie*cough*) wants to screw with them. EBE: I just don't want to fork them up, but I'll take a look.
Done. This will make Hiding Text much easier, but you may not like it due to it's mechanical nature. Ooh! An oxymoron. Mechanical Nature. Anyway, I also made a purple thing for categories you still haven't visited. It's here. It would be better, but Paint is suprisingly limiting.

Elfie, you do realize that mods can post in this forum, right? It took me until today to see that edit you did. You're right, Paint is limiting, but you did a surprisingly good job with that icon considering the limitations. Anyway... the fifth update... Well, this is a big one. I've added three new skins (with plans to add more later). They are, in order of completeness, "Gothic" (just needs a banner, which Belgarath is already working on, and some custom icons -- the color scheme is all black except for white text and red links), "Ocean" (the only skin with a background image right now, so check it out -- it's a water background, then light blue for post backgrounds and green and purple used elsewhere -- the smileys are all going to be blue with this one), and "Pinata" (which still needs heavy work -- I wanted a skin where the site actually looks like a pinata, but right now it's too colorful). Don't forget, smileys and icons are going to be different with every skin once they're completed, too. I've also finally gotten off my lazy ass and registered a photobucket account, which means (drum roll please): CUSTOM AVATARS! Some of them really kick ass, so go to your profile and check them out. I'm not done procuring all the avatars I want yet, so more are forthcoming. Right now, I think my favorite is Paige (for obvious reasons). I haven't removed any of the default avatars yet -- I'm giving people about a month to tell me if they want to keep any of them (for example, Selvo might have grown attached to that sexy penguin ). If you have a specific character you want to request an avatar of, let me know... I'll start an Avatar/Skin request thread in the Help Forum just in case anyone has anything in particular they want.

Yeah, I like that one too. Belgarath's making the banner for it... hope you like vampires.

Vampires are cool. Just for curiosity's sake, is the Lost Soul pic on it?

I told Belgarath to use the Elves of Deep Shadow pic... it just seemed to fit the theme I was going for better. The chick in the Elves of Deep Shadow pic actually looks like a goth chick I know in real life, so it takes priority over personal favorites. I'm going to be using the Lost Soul pic somewhere in another skin, though... I just haven't figured out what else to use with it.

I'm working on changing it so that it's less likely to cause migraines. I just have to figure out which background to make purple (I wanted it to be purple where the posts and forum descriptions appear, and then orange in the main background).
