New Forum: God Hates Facts We’ve just launched this week’s ForumBuildr v2.0 Forum, God Hates Facts! Humans evolved from monkeys? The universe revolves around the sun? Being gay ISN’T a choice? Sure, if you want to believe a bunch of fucking liberals and their “textbooks”. For everyone else, God Hates Facts is a place to gather and discuss how things REALLY are - because when you know you’re right, you don’t need any “science” to prove it.

The Shield is Active! Added The Shield card to Forumwarz Domination. It will protect you against any offensive attack if you have it played. There is a new page, My Domination Card Settings on your Domination page, that will allow you to choose whether you want to auto-equip a new Shield when the old one is used or not. You can change the option at any time. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug in Flamebate that could take down the server with improper formatting, thanks Piglet!

Coming Tomorrow: The Shield During Tomorrow’s update, we’ll be adding a new Domination card called The Shield. The purpose of the card is to protect yourself from attacks against your scoops. If someone plays any offensive cards against you, the shield will block it and your scoops will stay safe. I’m giving notice because the card is being added mid-week, in case you were thinking of purchasing cards and want to hold out for the new one. Of course, once it goes live it will be announced on this blog. ...

New Stuff Domination Blackouts: Domination now has a 30 minute blackout following the end of a round while the server tabulates all the final scores. While this is happening no scoreboards or scoops can be earned. Also, ForumBuildr v2.0 Beta is disabled. There’s slightly more information in this thread. Bug Fixes If someone leaves your Klan after joining a raid, it no longer sabotages your efforts. Can no longer squeeze in images in IDC by pasting IMG links over and over.

Flamebate IDC: Internet Delay Chat A few days ago I mentioned we’d be launching a new feature as a test. That feature is now live, and it’s called Flamebate IDC: Internet Delay Chat. Props to IrascibleRedoubt for coming up with the title. It’s a live chatroom open to all users. Please give it a shot and see how it works for you. We’re interested in how it affects the site performance and stuff like that before we roll it out on a larger scale. ...

Tonight we’ve nerfed the way vanilla scoops are given out to Klans in raids. The details are in this post on Flamebate. Here’s the thread where people are discussing it.

New Stuff The character selection screen lists your visits left for each character. You can sort your Bookmark / Forums tab by difficulty. In fact, this is now the default setting. Added your forumbuildr voting ratio to your vitals on your profile. Note that it only takes into account recent activity. You can get a good idea of how accurate the number is based on how many votes were counted in creating the ratio. ...

New Stuff Can now link directly to a post in Flamebate (see the # link below it) Split Vanilla Rush E-Peen(tm) into two. The Klan E-Peen(tm) is now exclusive to the Sisterhood Klan, and the new Vanilla Addict E-Peen(tm) went to Bigguyinblack. Added medal winning E-Peen(tm): People with medals have a “Medal Winner” E-Peen(tm), and there’s a new one for topping the Most Medals Leadeboard, currently topped by Barely Legal. Officers can now leave klans (admins still cannot). ...

New Stuff There are now countdown timers on the site for Forumwarz Domination, ForumBuildr v2.0 Beta, and your Forum Visits remaining. Added two new features to Klans to help in Domination. One is “Domination” which lists all the forums, the current pwners, their klans and when they were pwned. The second is “Vists Left”, which lists the amount of forum visits left for members of your klan who have been active in the last week. ...
