There is a new section, which has the primary purpose of keeping track of what everybody's up to on various sites. You can use it to easily tell people when events and such things are happening on your sites.
I've also presented a new project to our GFX Team, hopefully we can get some cool stuff done soon as far as redesign.
Affiliates will receive a new Helper rank buff for being an affiliate to our site soon, still deciding on a color though.
