Hi all and welcome back after our little closure.

Things that have changed:

1. Check out the new rules. Read and digest as they will be enforced.

2. The categories have moved around a bit. It should all be self explanatory. If a category has gone that means it has gone. Don't ask for it to be returned as we wouldn't want to disappoint.

3. Threads have been heavily pruned. We have tried to make sure that threads are in the right place but if you notice one that isn't please contact one of the mods.

3. PMs have gone back down to 30. This is to encourage people to use the forum rather than just the PM facility. If you currently have more than 30 please delete the ones you do not want. They will be pruned over the weekend.

4. The Arcade is still closed and will open in a couple of days. More games will be added however access will change. This facility should be a reward for users who contribute to the forum so you now need at least 100 posts to enter and need to make regular contributions to the forum (and not in the pointless post count threads). If you do not make regular and good quality posts arcade access will be revoked.

5. The blog facility is up and running and available to all. Every user has their own blog. Try it out and see if you like it. If you don't you don't.

6. Other maintenance bits and bobs have been carried out that you wont notice but have taken lots of time! There are still some bits for us to do but we can do these in the background.
