New forums

We've created a new forum engine from scratch to replace the very, very ancient previous one. Apart from a few minor issues which will probably crop up at first, it should rival even the most widely used forum engines on the web while maintaining simplicity and usability.

The old forums are still available here if you need them.

We've added some new areas, and included the ability to subscribe to threads. There's also some new panels, including 'Feed' which will tell you when someone rates your posts or when one of your friends makes a post.

Using the knowledge we gained from the scoring system of the previous forums, we were able to come up with a better system now called 'Karma'.

- Karma is only gained by others rating your posts and threads.
- There are limits in place to prevent spamming of negative or positive ratings.
- Strict rules will mean paying for ratings (in any form) or increasing your karma in a way which was not intended will trigger an instant reset.
- People who only negatively rate threads and posts will have a very small effect on the receiving user's karma.
- Karma cannot be reduced below 0.

There are already secret rewards in place for those who achieve high karma, and we're looking to add more in the future.

Thanks.
