Changes & Updates!

**Contra Fates** · 03-25-2010, 06:37 PM

Some of you may have noticed some things moving around throughout the day, so now, I'm going to explain exactly what happened, and some of the changes!

1.) 'Home' Tab - RSF Highlights:
Unfortunately, there are some features that are missing for VB4, and a SOTW modification is one of them. So, in order to make up for this, I've enabled the CMs system for RSF, and now you'll notice a 'Home' Tab that has some SOTW-related articles in it. This section will be used, for now, as a means of promoting both the SOTW, and the RPC. Later on it will likely be used to highlight some of the RSF-relevant news articles.

2.) Rising Star Companies:
I've added a new category, called 'Rising Star Companies,' which separates the current focus from the rest of the forum. Now Production I.G. and Namco/Bandai have their own area.

3.) Japanese Entertainment:
As a means of spring cleaning, I've gone ahead and moved the 'Japanese Movies, Music, and Tv' forum to the Entertainment Discussion forum, where it now resides as a sub-forum. This helps to lessen a little bit of the clutter that was there.

4.) RSF Hangout:
This idea is credited to Casanova, who wanted to have a forum that was purely dedicated to letting our members mingle, and get to know one another better! All threads pertaining to our member's interests, hobbies, and social networking sites have been moved to this forum. Soon we will be utilizing an idea that was suggested by Daesy, so look forward to that!

5.) Rising Star Members:
This new category is meant to house all of the talent of RSF's members. I've moved the 'Art Gallery' to this new area, and rid of the 'Underground' forum from the RP Section.

The RP Section now has some new sections for everyone to participate in:
1.) RP Battles: This is what was once The Underground, and is now a sub-forum in the Role Plays area. Any and all RP battles will reside here, so duke it out and have fun!
2.) Sign Up & Discussion: This sub-forum is -only- for sign-up threads.
3.) RP Discussion: This sub-forum is dedicated to the discussion of role playing, in and of itself. RP discussion was quite popular in the social groups, and now I'd like to bring that to the forums.
4.) Players Wanted: All interest checks are now here. This sub-forum is also for people to advertise their RPs, or to use it as a bulletin board incase you want to advertise yourself as an RPer, or want to find people to fill some slots in your RPs.

6.) Minor Updates!
There is now a tab at the bottom of the forum that lists all of the users who were online in the past 24 hours. This will make it easier for you guys to find people. =) There's also been some little enhancements around the forum, and some new mods that will be added soon.

7.) DA Group: Super Group!
I went ahead and made the Deviantart group a super group, which will give us more exposure, and I'm working on networking with popular groups in order to help promote RSF. If you haven't already joined this group, be sure to!
