[size=8]WEEKLY UPDATE 2nd issue, 2007[/size]

[size=6]-What has happened recently?[/size]

New members!
Quite a few new members have joined up lately, almost breaking our bandwidth limit, which had settled at about one new member per month. Anyways – none of them has really stuck around for long, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT there is a very reasonable explanation to it and it is a word called “homework”, some times accompanied by obscene words that this family-friendly newsletter won’t dive further into. If anyone needs inspiration for fitting adjectives for their homework, speak to Mordus – he seems proficient at describing them. But stay away from Ariakas – solid sources tell me that he “likes to study”, which is the first phase of an incurable disease. Nah – just kidding – I also like studying some times – like when it is about history or something!
Oh ****, now we strayed away from the subject – new members – yeah – we should see more to them soon as they WILL get back. At least I will drag Bjarkson on – seeing him this weekend.
But yeah – spread the word, people!

Forum changes!
:ph43r: Last time the forums were reshuffled, I don’t even think I was active at all. How noobish of me. Well – I think that TWC has seen some of its coolest, hottest and best discussions in the forum “Suggestions and Questions”. Therefore, I have now brought up some suggestions for consideration and for now the discussion has been SLIGHTLY interesting – in the News and Info topic, and although we won’t reach stellar discussions like the banning of James, at least we won’t let TWC drown in its own junk without doing something about it.
I still hate Locky’s “spring clean up” with all of those topics thrown into a mess into the archive, but gladly Alex and HIC have come up with great ideas for “intelligent disposal of trash” – IDT and I think we can get something nice out of that project. Let the votes rain – say your opinion in the topics/polls! It is a democracy after all (or at least that’s what I want it to look like).

The FHaG Wiki
This is the White Library – a little wiki-site I made specifically for our For Honour and Glory works and it works like charm – best features are no doubt the cleaner text compared to reading in the forum and the awesome search and tag functions!

I just urge people to get their stories up soon so that it looks more finished! Please!


Special awards
The old medals are kind of sacred now, but I still want people to feel (slightly) awarded for specific feats. So in the following periods of time, I will come up with completely random “special awards”, who I think deserve them. They won’t come all at once, and don’t pester me about them *cough*Andy*cough*. They will come when they come!
I want to use this article to give out a special award to Mordus!

Funniest award
TWC has had quite a story of fun forumers. Yeah – we had Dylan in the old days of the White Counsil. We had Louise. We had Ironfist. Hell – we even had Commissar Craig and his pathetic attempts at breaking through our security. Rabble was kind of fun, but actually mostly annoying! Well – I think we have a new man/woman/being for this award – Mordus!
He is beating Louise in randomness and I don’t know if it is his excessive consummation of alcohol or what – but some of his posts are just so INSANE that I can’t help myself but laugh or feel slightly lighter. I mean – “<Insert witty comment> :lol: Surely, most of the jokes are dark, sadistic, sick or all three at once, but who cares when it is fun (at least for now).
Congratulations, Mordus! The “Funniest” award is yours – for now!

New betting competition
I am asking for a betting competition to be made. You people come up with things, but I thought it might be fun to have it up again. Also – what about that forum game with the story? Let’s get it back on! For the betting part, you can try and bet on how many Updates I will do that will actually be weekly. I must say I am doing great so far – I just remembered to write one…

[size=6]-Interesting Stats[/size]

As interesting as they can get (or something):

Our members have made a total of 106,859 posts
We have 236 registered members
The newest member is Kich
Most users ever online was 185 on Jun 29 2007, 11:21 PM

And I have no clue how we got that “Most users ever online” record. Scary stuff :ph43r:

[size=6]- The Lord’s Opinion[/size]
I have held my activity quite firmly – not superb, but still – I think I have earned the right to be the Lord of the Forums once more. I hope on more activity in the vacation, and btw – we are all counting down to it, right?
Anyways – I think things are going fine, with the RPG still being the main force forward, but I am pleased to see Off Topic getting slightly more activity now. Always funny!
And the spam in the Introduction Forum (specifically “S’happening” topic) is the true sign of activity. I mean – I remember that at all of our best peaks of activity, people have always strayed FAR off topic in those intro posts. Hell – I am not encouraging pointless spam, but it is damn straight a sure indicator ;)

-What’s about to happen?
Keep updating the Wiki and have fun, people! I also think we might clean up in the moderator ranks, but that will be up for discussion soon!

Discuss
Discuss my (awesome) entries here and have fun!

Enjoy the community!

Aye indeed. This one is a lot less informal, and I prefer it like this :)

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

It is? I thought I slightly overdid it at some points, but glad you liked it :)

Slightly overdid it? You went completely off-track at the start :P

He's around - he's been in Oslo with his school for some reason or another.
