We're back online with some changes, which I hope will make it more approachable and interactive.

Namely:

• An online indicator
  
• FAQ for new comers
  
• The extra signup security question has been removed as it was extremely hard to answer (according to the stats)
  
• The syntax help being more prominent, as many users are having difficulties including media in their posts
  
• The addition of categorization of users according to how active they are on the forums, which shows under their avatars
  
• Certain users will automatically be promoted to moderator based on their forums activity
  
• If you are part of the "grey hair nixers" group you can ask for your own *.nixers.net subdomain
  
• I updated the Activities
  
• A thread will be promoted every week
  
• Improved the SEO by adding a sitemap and social metatags
  

We'll give it a go, and see what changes it'll bring. Let's give it another chance.
