After just six months of launching we have launched our second layout. I have been working for sometime now on this layout and finally I can bring it to you guys. Since things have been slow lately and other stuff I decided to do a fresh start with the website and the layout is just the first step. If you have been inspecting this new layout you would of noticed that we have implemented some new features such as the footer bar that we have and now we have more freedom than the last one to give you guys more, this means that over time we may just add more features so keep an eye out on that. This layout was a bit challenging especially to convert our pages to fit it, seeing that the coding is way different than the last one but after working endless hours on it, it is finally ready for you guys.

Onto other site news, just recently we have experienced a hacking attempt on our forums as a result they are temporarily closed. The other reason for the forums closing would be due to inactivity. At the moment I am testing out a new forums software that we will use temporarily until we can purchase the forums software that we actually want. I will try my best to see to it that members enjoy the new forums just like the previous one with implementing the same features, if not even more or at least some. But…getting the forums back is not up to me, I have come to realize that persons don’t really use community forums like they used to, they would rather use Social Networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter and as a result of that we will more be focusing on growing our social pages first rather than the forums. It is up to you guys to rescue the forums out of its closed state and restore it to how it once was. Want to know how? Then keep on reading by jumping inside.

To restore the forums you as a visitor/user must now make the site more active. Rather than only focusing on making the forums active I have decided to cut that short and focus on the site in general. If you’ve been visiting the forums lately you would see the message on how to get the forums restored but if you’ve been giving our forums the blind eye then we have the message here for you. Since the forums have recently become inactive it wouldn’t make much sense to relaunch them so soon right? Well you guys can help get the forums back much sooner. All you must do is become more active on our main site and social accounts. You can become active by a simple comment, liking and posting on our Facebook page, sending us a tweet or following us on twitter, subscribing to our YouTube channel and RSS Feed, etc. Once we have seen a certain level of activity on the site and on our social network pages we shall relaunch the forums.

Once the forums have been relaunched that doesn’t mean that they can’t close again, to keep the forums up and running you guys must keep it and the site itself active and alive. We hope that you guys get to being active so you can get back the forums because I know as of now persons, especially our members, do miss the forums so get to being active.

That’s all we have for you guys, browse the site in its new layout I am sure you would see that much has changed and we do hope that you like it. On a side note, we are still looking for some new staff members to help work around the site so if you do want to help out check out the Staff Openings to see what is available. We are still trying our best to get onto a host of our own so we can do much more for you guys but we can use your help. You can simply donate to us any amount of money you wish, each donation will be used to help us get one step closer to getting our very own hosting. That’s all for now guys, see you in the next post.
