Down Time

Our host was suffering with various network errors and so we were out periodically yesterday around 10-10:30pm EST. We apologize for the inconvenience.

LATEST ADDITION:

If you are mostly interested in Discussion and do
not care for all the fancy features and links then
we recommend you try the new BARE BONES Skin
which has all the added stuff in sleep mode! Try
it out today via the Skin selection drop down menu.
It is also suitable for Dial-Up Users.

NEW RPG

We are expecting to open up 'Tiempo RPG' tomorrow!
We are still working on the rules, cosmetics, etc. It
will be available to all RPGers so you do not have to be
an Upgraded member to play - best of all there is no GM
intervention, but you will be able to compete against
other Members in the Community! For more on it visit:

ARCADE RESET

It is free for all now, but with a difference, the

Updated Skins

I have been going through each Skin to ensure that everything is readable, color coordinated and linked to the same things that other Skins have with the Bare Bones being the exception as far as links. I use each one to see if I would be able to do and find the same things as in other Skins and noticed some things missing. For instance in Dial-up and Bare Bones there was no spell check button on the Quick Reply Box.

July Newsletter

Red Skin

The font for posts has been increased so it is easier on the eye, it also has its own unique ticker.

Newsletter - July 2005

Small Updates

I gave the Bare Bones Skin a slight uplift so that the message about RPGs or features is lost. If you are using this skin then the change will be obvious. You will also notice the major accessed pages like Latest Topics and 'Online?' is now at the bottom of each page rather than on top.

Ticker

When you close the ticker (Upgraded Members) you will not see it again for a few days rather than each day.

WHAT IS NEW?

For the Religious believers within the Community
or those that simply like to study Religion we have
some neat features coming.

COMMUNITY BIBLE / QURAN

We are currently working on adding the ability for
Members to search the Authorized Version of the
Bible (King James Version) from within the pages
of the Community. In addition to this you will be
able to conduct searches for the Hebrew & Greek
Lexicons as well. This should add flavor to much of
the discussion in the Religions Board(s). Some may
also find it useful for daily reading or to find that
special quote.

Also on stream will be the Quran. Many have wondered
about the verses in the Quran and wether it insights
war and terrorism - well now you can find out soon by
reading it within the Community at your leisure. Of
course our Muslim members will also find it useful for
study and quotes.

END OF THE MONTH

Before you forget. please VOTE for Member
of the Month or Moderator of the Month. Just

Recent Updates

The Bare Bones Skin is now really Bare Bones for real with even more of the features taken out. If new members join and they cannot find something you may wish to encourage them to change their Skin, especially if they are here for RPGs. You may also want to test it so you can get a 'feel' for it. The purpose of the Bare Bones Skin is to help New Members find their way around and for Members only interested in Discussion to be relieved of all the added stuff that may not interest them.

Shout Box

It has a new look and will be more visible now, but not in Boards or Threads.
