New NEW look for the site

Hello everyone,
I'd like to thank you all for your patience today, and over the past days and weeks, as we worked on the new look for the site. You wouldn't believe the amount of DETAIL WORK it takes to fully theme a forum (unless, of course, you've done it before). Even so, I'm sure there are all sorts of nooks and crannies all over the site where things just don't make sense -- illegible text on wrong-coloured backgrounds, and freaky quirks.

I ask that you report anything that impairs legibility or usability to me at nebajoth@gmail.com, or via PM on this site.

On that note: PMs have been purged. If you REALLY need something from your PM inbox, please let me know, and I'll dredge it out of the SMF backups. I can't imagine an actual need for this, so we're all starting with clean inboxen.

Speaking of purges, we've eliminated about 75% of the boards. HA!

You'll notice that we have a much brighter green-and-gold theme than before, and a brand new logo! Like it? Then head over to our shop, and buy a t-shirt. ALL profits go to supporting the game server for the clan. None of it is for nebajoth or Evan. D:

We have moved most old posts to the archives. They are still available to CW members, and fully indexed for easy searching.

Accordingly, people with high posting counts will still be designated at various levels of membership. The only one approaching Palladium Member status -- the highest we have so far, requiring 2000 posts -- is Bitchslap. I've removed his ban to give him the chance to hit that most vaunted post-count status. Laughing out loud Seems only fair, since I used him as the bar by which to measure the membership levels Tongue

There are a few features we're still missing. We don't have that nifty SMF feature where you can click the red "new posts" thing, and get just a list of unread posts, for example. I will be working to incorporate that functionality in the near future.

Have fun, and enjoy the site!
