It seems that we're finally rid of the bot plague we've had for such a long time. I've installed extra security methods to the sign up form meaning that bots have found it much harder to decipher. Hopefully this isn't preventing real people signing up - anyone having any trouble with it email me at maxy@rpg-palace.com

One or two bots still get through, mind you (was about 10 a day before, now only 2 in a week). I should be able to eliminate this entirely by removing some of the more commonplace fonts. If that succeeds we will remove the automatic moderator preview on new topics in GD.

After a week or so, the Palace is finally back online. It seems some pillock forgot to...pay.

Moving swiftly on, I'm now back at home and unemployed. This is good for me & good for you as I intend to spend some time working on the site. Hurray!

We might actually have some content on the site soon.

I have created a new forum "Requests" and moved the forum "Concepts and Plots" to subforum status of "Project Discussion". I have also moved many topics to conform to the classification within these three forums. Additionally, the "Contests" forum is now open again, in Official Busniess. Please post all new forum and cross-forum contests there. Note that Project Discussion is only for projects that you are working on, not projects that you are thinking of and would like feedback on basic elements of.

I have copied this from the announcements to the forum news section because it didn't seem to get much attention.

I've been changing some things with the forum skin. If anything seems out of place, please drop me a line somehow. I tried to be thorough, but I may not have gotten to every single kind of page in existence.

We have some new features:

• You can now bump threads without posting. Simply go to Options >> Bump This Topic. Newbies can't bump, you can only bump your own topics, and only after an hour.
• Gender is now displayed next to your username.

I can't remember a time when GamingW actually had a link back to us. So they're no longer listed under our affiliates. Instead, we finally have our link to RMXP.org as they have for us. It doesn't really affect many people, but it ties up some loose ends quite neatly.
