The Forgiveness Thread

With the theme of love for the month of February, we would like to offer forgiveness to some of our members that have had privileges disabled in the past. We will review accounts for those that post in The Forgiveness Thread and Staff will decide if you can have certain privileges enabled again. Not everyone will qualify but there are probably many of you that are worthy of another chance.

Types of privileges that will be considered:
Posting | Avatar | Forums | PM | Requests | Upload
* We will not be considering invite privileges at this time.
* Only posts in the Forgiveness thread will be considered, please do not PM.

Questions and discussion here | Ask for forgiveness here

Pruning Forums

We are starting to clean house in the Forums. First on the block is the VIPs/Elite, followed by Extreme Users forum. Posts over 3 years old with no relevance to the current site, will be moved to the Trash Can.

Rule/Wiki updates

What a headache. We are still getting into this. Hardcoded rules grr..

We can not update the Wiki until we get the rules sorted
