New Features & Stuff
Well, i know its taken me so long and i know not many people are left here but here goes. I been working hard for the last few months while trying to keep a stable life but i changed and added a few things.
Firstly, you noticed that the design has changed visually. I am not good at this sort of thing but i think it looks better then the old version which was too dark for my taste. Quite a few visuals have changed like the font, hope it looks better.
New addition is the Forum which has been custom built, its not an advanced one but i tailored it into this site so it goes well with the site overall.
Private Messaging - Send messages to other users of this site in private so no one else can read them. To send a message to a user, go to their profile and click the link that says "message user".
Thought Bubble - This feature allows you to just post a message of up too 200 characters of anything that is on your mind with ease that you believe is not worth to be a proper article. It can be anything (within the rules of course), such as a thought, a quote, a really really short poem or even just a random thing (which makes sense of course). You can also post it anonymously if you feel its too private but still want to be able to express yourself. And of course, other users can comment on theses. You may notice that i tried to make these look "pretty", i think it does but it does look odd when looking at it with the overall site design.
There have been various of bug fixes (and admin features :P ) but since I am only one person doing this, I may have caused more errors (there is always the possibility, i been making these changes over the past 5 months, slowly). So please, if you see any issues, whether visual or something not loading, please let me know via the contact page or send me a private messages (unless that is broken :P ).
One of my next tasks is to add RSS feeds for articles, thought bubbles, etc so look for that soon. I also looked into replace the use of BBCode for articles with a proper editor so it will be easy for you to make nicer articles but having issues there. I will keep at it though.
Any feed back is welcome, requests too. All i ask is you to get more people to visit this site as well :P
Keep writing!

I will also be looking at making all your profiles less of a message and incorporate a way to display your posts in the new "thought bubble" there too.
