All forums have their ups and downs. I've noticed though, that January seems a particularly slow time of the year for online conversing in many places. Each time I'd come here, I felt as if gloomy, stale air was drifting slowly from my monitor.
Oddly enough, January has passed, and coincidence or not, things have been picking up. We've had a steady stream of new members, some interesting new threads have sprung up, and all in all it feels (at least to me) like the place is on a good swing! Members who've shown concern for my lack of activity (pointing out that the admin of all people should be active), surely must have noticed that I've picked up the pace.
The timing is fortunate, for here we are on February 15th, one year since the day these forums opened wide their doors and came to life! What a year it has been! From corrupted wishes to crazy captions, and even finding out Mayor Amelia is a robot! Quite a ride!
In celebration of the occasion, I thought it might be nice to add a few little goodies. First off, there are 12 new avatars available. Six are from Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and the other six are from Alternate Trigger.
More exciting I hope, are some smiley changes. Many people complained about having the little Flutter icon show up in their post whenever they happened to put three question marks in a row. We have removed that, as well as the Data and Bonne Skull, and replaced them with standard Servbot smileys.
What about those icons though? Well, you can still use them! There's a new system in place which requires just a little more work, but it's worth it. To use any of these images in your posts from now on, just do this... [insertname] ...with the name of the icon you want to use. Here are the icons now available.

There may be a bit of confusion for awhile, as suddenly the Bonne Skull smilies people have been using will have a cheesy Servbot, but I think we'll all manage...
Oh, and last but not least, there's a new Official Poll for the first time in months. Go cast your vote!

I look around, but I never seem to post... But, I intend to post more often now, especially sense the forums are 1 year old.
