Newsletter - January 2011

Here is wishing everyone a good and prosperos New Year. I for one really do hope it is an exciting time for positive changes in leaps and bound both online and offline. We hope to bring more positive changes to International Discussions especially using the KISS principle.

No More MMORPGs

We recently started to downsize by getting rid of the MMORPGs. If you are interested in them do let me know.

Where Are The Votes?

The votes as usual are pretty disappointing, I wonder if it is even worth carrying on the vote process, maybe people are just not interested in giving praise to their fellow Members. We are expecting votes for Member of the Year 2010 and Member of the Month of December 2010.

Many Changes On International Discussions!
For 2011 All The 'Extra' Stuff Has Been Removed

In 2011 we decided to use a stronger focus on actual Discussions rather than all the other features we had before, therefore the bloat has been removed. To see what has been removed in detail please go here: Source 8

For a quick reference on changes:

* No more multiple levels of Membership
* No forum point system or bank
* No long list of items on Comparison page so its all simple
* A Donator can have access to hidden Boards for less
* The core role-playing games will now be catered for, all the others have been closed
* No more Member of the Month, that has been archived
* Profile pages are a lot simpler
* Things that you normally needed forum points for are now free to use without restriction

On Another Note

We were doing massive updates the last couple of days that caused problem with Members being able to Login, Post properly etc. We apologize for the inconvenience, everything is back to normal, but if you do encounter an error please let us know so we can fix it right away.

What Is New?
2011 - Less Means More!

We have removed all the boat and everything loads faster with less screen messages. See for yourself and read about the changes here: Source 4

We regularly clear our database now. Members should join to actually participate, if they don't want to participate then they are simply removed after awhile to keep less load on Email and make for a faster more productive system. This works well because it is possible for anyone to give input as a Guest.
