I've done some changes to the site. Now, on the index page, after you log in, there is a personal menu, so you can check your private messages and log in/log out all from the index page, without having to go into the forum. I've added a 'Join' link to the left side menu on the index page, so people won't have to go through the forums to register.
The news archive is now available, which is a quick, handy way to check out more of the most recent news stories without visiting the forum. I've also fixed up the broken links in the screenshots section, so now you can view the profile of each screenshot's poster.
I'm just about ready to launch the new chat room. Keep checking back.
