Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be doing some updates to the site in the coming days. I don't anticipate any problems as all the necessary edits to the forum files will be done on my laptop first.

Anyway, here's a list of planned changes:
Site stuff:
  • Upgrade arcade to newer version
  • Upgrade any other addons that need upgrading
  • Remove "invite" system because nobody uses it
Wiki stuff:
  • Upgrade to newer version
  • Implement some sort of visual verification system to help prevent spam
  • Remove "Title" and "Stories" namespaces as these just make things more confusing
  • Installation of  "cite" extension to allow fancy citations (eg books, magazines, etc.)
  • Installation of an extension to help prevent spam.
  • Removal of "gadgets" system since it doesn't work here

The updates should only take an hour or so. The wiki updates will break the wiki temporarily, but that should only be for a short time.

We should have a new competition for the arcades! And let's hope there aren't any ways to cheat on those games!

I'm planning to do the upgrades tomorrow sometime. I was going to do it today but other things came up.

Forum updates are complete (new version of the arcade, updated Gallery Image script, etc.). I'll be updating the wiki later.

Wiki has been updated and guest editing is enabled again for the moment. However, due to changes with the wiki code, you currently can't log in and it won't see you as logged in. I'll play with it tomorrow and fix it.

Are there new games in the arcade? I skimmed through them last week and they all seemed the same.

No, I haven't added any new games in a while. I just updated to a newer version of the arcade mod. I'll try to add some more new games soon.

Also, I've fixed the wiki. The file I needed to modify to make it work properly somehow didn't get uploaded.
