We really ought to have had one of these sooner...
This is where particularly important announcements go. No spamming, no random chit-chat, this is an important board guys!

The first really big announcement is as follows:
Several boards have been moved. Don't panic if you can't find the board you're looking for, they're all still here, I promise! They're simply more organised.
All game-prominent worlds gave been moved to the new board "Game Multiverses". All the original boards are still there as sub-boards The only exception to this is the Pokemon world, which hasn't moved at all, due to its worldwide phenomenon status in all manner of forms, not just games. Hyrule, Magic: the Gathering, Nirn, Shin Megami Tensei and Thedas are the ones that have been moved, and the Netherworld from the Disgaea series has been added.
The Marvel and DC universes have been added as sub-boards on the Comic Book Multiverse board.
Any problems/complaints/etc let me know. Apologies to Sierra and Wulfie for not discussing this one - the thought suddenly hit me about 15 minutes ago. (This is what happens when I can't sleep...)
Point of interest: Threads can be moved from one board to another. For example: Across The Wasteland is in the Fallout games world, but is currently on the Other board. One Small Holiday is in the Mass Effect world, but is on the Space board at the moment.

New reward system implemented!The karma points are back, people! Well, sort of. You may still put up people for commendation on the Letters of Exaltation thread, but Admins can now award karma points as well. Here's how it goes; Sierra and I award karma points as we feel appropriate (to avoid favouritism we have to be able to justify every point we award). At the end of the month the member with the most karma points gets a commendation, a prize of some kind (as yet to be determined) and the karma points are reset to 0 again. Consider it a Quester of the Month award ~Echo~

Messages per page changed!
Don't be alarmed, Questers, there have not been hundreds of replies to your quests while you weren't looking! The number of messages displayed per page has gone down from 15 to 10. This is purely because it makes life just that little bit easier for the admins.

Karma System
Having noted the complete failure of both the Karma and Commendations systems, I have tracked down a plugin that replicates the old Karma system with Exalt and Smite buttons. You see a particularly good post or someone's done something outstanding, exalt them. Someone's done something wrong? Smite them. Obviously, be responsible. Don't just Smite people for the sake of Smiting them (though we all know how therapeutic a good smiting can be for the soul). The Karma Points and Commendation Points sections of the profiles and mini-profiles are gone, having been replaced with "Karma" and "Exalt | Smite" instead. The new (old?) Karma system now stands in for both of those. I tried to add Karma to those who already had some, but if you think I've missed you just give me a shout. I'm unsure if members can exalt/smite themselves (admins definitely can), so a request from me personally to all members and admins:- Please don't just exalt yourself loads. That's cheating.
Happy Questing! ~Echo~

Just a note - I can see the exalt/smite buttons below my name.
Will attempt to smite myself as a trial (I only had one karma anyway, iirc)
EDIT: Attempt failed- "You cannot change your own karma"

I managed to give you a karma point earlier, so it seems to be working alright.

Awards System
A new awards system for challenges will be implemented shortly (I hope...) whereby members are awarded trophies instead of points, with a 3-tier rating system on the challenges themselves. (This does, of course, mean that the challenges will be returning in the near future.) A QA Seal of Approval will be awarded to members who accept and begin a challenge, with a trophy being awarded upon completion. The tiers will be as follows: Easy (2 week time limit) - Bronze Trophy, Medium (1 month time limit) - Silver Trophy, Hard (2 month time limit) - Gold Trophy Incomplete challenges will not be awarded with trophies for the participants. There may also be an award for completing all the challenges set in a year. This has not yet been decided. A 4th "Special" tier may also be implemented for particularly difficult challenges with different time limits. This has also not yet been decided.
~Echo~
Edit: The awards system has been implemented. I believe I gave everyone the correct number of seals for starting challenges, but I believe Sierra and myself are the only ones to have finished one. Let me know if you think I got anything wrong. The challenge points section of the profiles and mini-profiles has been deleted.
