Over time I shall make updates to the forum. Some will be for convenience, ie. New forums, user titles etc. and some will be made simply to make thing s pretty (Colors, fonts, icons). So, if you think you see a change in the forum, check here to see what it is. July 26th, 2009: Added a new sub-forum for general, were you can post book refrences, good websites, information, etc. to help the project.

July 27th, 2009:
A quick update today, I've changed the # of posts for a thread to be deemed "hot" to 15 from 25, and "very the hot" from 25 to 40.
EDITx2:I have created new ranks on the forum as you advance up post count. It goes something like this:
Ordinary Seaman~~~~0 posts Able Seaman~~~~10 posts Midshipman~~~~20 posts Leiutenant~~~~30 posts Master & Commander~~~~40 posts Post Captain~~~~60 posts Rear Admiral~~~~90 posts Vice Admiral~~~~120 posts Admiral~~~~150 posts Admiral of the fleet~~~~200 posts
EDIT: Bolded and colored red

I have added a news fader near the top of the forum, and set the speed to "a little bit fast". This will inform members of the going-ons around here.

July 31, 2009: The general forum is being overrun with design talk. So, I've created a new forum just for it. However, making threads and replying is disabled at the moment, since I'll be moving threads from General to there. If not tonight, you should be able to post by tomorrow. Thunderstorm here at the moment.

Okay, I've moved the design-only threads in General to design. Registred users should now be able to post (I want all guests to register) there. Please note this is not official design.
EDIT: I added a off-topic board. Sort of simaler to the Black Mongoose Tavren on Minature trading. Geusts must login or register to view it.

August 13, 2009: I have added some new Pirate smilies to the site(courtesy of Rizz). However, they are not set to default. To view them, go to the top of this screen and hit "profile" on the tool bar. Next, go to "Modify Profile" . Then, scroll down and look for a tab that says "select skin" , and change it from "default" to "Pirate Smilies". This change will not affect anything except for the smilies, and all smilies are very close to the orginal ones. The only difference is the "kiss smiley", which is now whistling. All the smilies are from one source at the moment, some variation would be welcome. If you know somewhere else that has Pirate Smilies, drop me a PM and I'll take a look for some better ones. Enjoy the new smilies!

As a follow-up to yesterday, after you have changed "default" to "Pirate Smilies", you must hit "modify profile".

August 14, 2009:
I have created a catergory+board entitled "The Graveyard", where I shall move some old messages notifying where a topic has been moved to that are of no further use. This will also be the home for any advertising threads made by bots that somehow find their pressence on these boards.
It is only viewable to admins.

September 6: I thought the Crimson Coast booster art for the forum was getting a bit boring, so I changed it to the Battle of lake Erie by R.C. Moore, who did the early booster art for Pirates. I do not own the work at all, and it is excellent. His/Her site is here: www.ship-paintings.com/sea_battles.htmI'll be working on getting the image shrunk a little bit, its a bit big right now.
