Just as Legends Station recently went through major changes in its move to V3 at 18 months, it's the Forums's turn now at 6 months. Hopefully everyone's gotten used to the main site enough that the new Forum style change won't freak everyone out.
So what all is new? Well it's not just the standard banner and the colors, but also the majority of the images as well! Navigation buttons, icons of all levels of importance, nearly everything has been altered to match the new style and help take away the generic feel of ProBoards's default images. You'll have to look around a lot to see them all, but some of the main ones are:
Refractors on the Home Page: In place of a lit or darkened Reaverbot eye, now there are refractors. The still refractors mean there's been no activity in a particular area of the forum since you last visited, and if there is something new the refractors will spin and shine!
Smileys when posting: We've dumped all of those ugly faces and have replaced them all with Servbot heads! Happy, sad, angry, you name it, we've got the Servbot to match!
;D 
A new Bonne Skull smiley has replaced the "cheesy" face which hardly ever got used (much like the Flutter and Data), the male and female icons are now Trigger and Roll heads, etc., etc...
You get the idea, the whole place has been given an overhaul, so I hope everyone likes the new, fresh and bright feel here.
Concerning Expansion:
The addition of an RP forum is still being taken into consideration.
However another suggestion from the members is soon going to come into play. The Forums will have an official Caption Contest thread, which will include a set of participation rules and a judging panel. This will be a fun but serious ongoing contest, not just one person's whim deciding the winners. More details soon!
As always, we're looking for ways to make this a better place that everyone will enjoy coming to. Your suggestions are always welcome.
(please do not use these icons anywhere else, as they were all made by hand and took a good deal of work)
