Updates for December 2015

[cyberdemon]

A very happy Season of the Winter Celebrations to everyone from your forum staff!
We have a few notifications for you.

First of all, we have some changes in staff grouping. I'm joining Vashta and Stukov in the administrative team, and Nahemah is rejoining! Master Vashta is designated by his special purple username, the rest of us will have red usernames so we can be identified easily by anyone in need of assistance. Going into the new year, we'll also be watching for outstanding personalities and hopefully we'll have two or more new, blue username, forum-wide Super Moderators by New Year's Eve. (No, we're not taking nominations or applications this time, sorry!)

Secondly, the School Of Magick project has been scrapped without plans of a formal restart for the time being. All threads from the School Of Magick have been locked and transferred to the new archive forum linked below.

It is open to all for viewing, unlike the School itself which was restricted to only the Students group. The Students group has been disbanded too and everyone in that group will find themselves returned to the regular Members group. If you had a thread or discussion in the School and wish to continue, get in touch with us especially if you want an active & unlocked copy of a thread moved an appropriate forum. For the most part, it will be better if you create a new thread altogether.

Third, we're currently considering an overhaul to the Board Index to be more comprehensive and better categorized, while removing or merging boards that see little to no activity. Now is a good time to throw in your suggestions for any topics we don't already cover which could have their own board.

Fourth, and as always, we're open to questions, inquiries and so on at any time of the day.

Finally, the forum-wide announcements section has been cleaned up to have only the one Community Rules & Guidelines thread instead of several from across different times in history. Please take the time to go through it at least once!

Aaaaaaaaaaand.. that's all for now!

Congrats on becoming Admins.
I like how you changed the color of your avatar according to the Admins group color.

That's a pity, but anyway there was no teacher.

Hermeticism section? Maybe even Franz Bardon section? Ooh, and is there a way to make the bookmarked topics more easily accessible?

I actually agree. Hermeticism is an extremely popular path to go down, it's time we went further down it..
