So Apparently This forum now has ads by Gooooogle. Lame.
Edit: New forum stuff. Like a Capcha login code. And a new banner. Maybe some stuff actually works now? -------------

For those of you that haven't figured it out - the forum is in the process of getting upgraded. Under the new forum, forum rank will be post-based. I do not know what the rank levels will be, but they will be post-based until further notice. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

I'd personally rather have it be no stars at all over post based stars. It's just going to increase the amount of spamming. That was one of the few GOOD things about the old forum software. Hopefully there are options for way to determine post count and they can change it, otherwise this place just got a little crappier. Thank God I'm a standard member going on 6k posts. At least we know they're TRYING to fix it. |
