Greetings, Adventurers!
Aside from minor tweaks not worthy of an update post, it's been awhile since anything has been updated here.
That is about to change.
Throughout the course of this week, the staff will be doing a little work and modification on some of the existing boards. In addition to that, they will be adding in some new boards and features as well. The focus this time around will be entertainment related, and I am led to understand there will be some interactive elements as well, but that is all I can say at this point.
If you see new sections that are locked or restricted, fear not. They will be open to all as soon as they are ready for member contribution.
If you happen to catch the site in "Maintenance Mode" fear not. We are simply making changes that require us to bring the site down temporarily, and we will do our best to keep these interruptions to a minimum number, and of short duration.
The target date to have everything in place is 07/19/2015.
As new content comes available I will post it here, so feel free to check back later to see what's new.
Have Fun!

* Updates:
07/13/2015
We will be implementing a restriction on signature sizes with the change in format to no greater than 500 x 200 px.
A global announcement will be posted in all forums before the change is made, at least one week prior to being activated in order to give members ample time to make any needed adjustments. Any signature greater than 500 px wide, or 200 px high, after this change goes into effect will be automatically adjusted to conform to the new size restrictions.
07/14/2015
The Games People Play Forum has been reorganized.
The Other Games and Member Generated Games boards have been relocated to the top of the listings.
Dedicated game boards are in alphabetical order.
Four new sub boards have been added to Other Games. Link listings, Game Reviews, Industry News, Screenshots and Videos.
All sub boards in Games People Play are now open for member input.
07/15/2015
Added a new section: Arts & Entertainment.
Added a new board to Arts & Entertainment: The Cinema.
The Cinema is the first of a series of boards going into A&E. More boards will be added there as my time allows. Look for more additions as the week progresses, possibly as early as tomorrow.
Generated four sub boards for the new Cinema board: Industry news, Links and Resources, Reviews, and Discussions.
Member input would be appreciated on the Links and Resources board.
Relocated several threads previously located in Off Topic to the new Cinema board as that is a more appropriate location for them. If one of your threads was among those moved you should have received a pm alerting you to that fact.
07-16-2015
Added two more sub boards to The Cinema: Members Gallery and Featured Works.
Each Entertainment section will have a Members Gallery which will eventually serve to replace the existing Gallery on the This-N-That forum.
Added a new board to A&E: The Library.
Added six sub boards to The Library. This section is pretty much a duplicate of what is on The Cinema, but with a focus on literature instead of cinema.
Like before, a number of threads have been moved from the Off Topic section, and into the new sections that are more appropriate to their content.
* Please Note:
Seeing as how our primary contributor has had to scale back for a period of time, I am going to close this off here and pick up again in the next update, with a new thread.
