I can now confirm that some of the users I purged were indeed spambots. There's been a rash of spambots trying to get in since the purge and failing the human test, and since one had a catchy email, I recognized it as one of the names I purged.

I'm thinking of moving Gotta Catch 'em All and Omniverse into their own sections, as opposed to part of Anything Else Pop Culture Related. That way new posts in those two aren't always competing with Obituaries for visibility on the main page. Thoughts?

Loki, did you send this spambot?

As I'm sure everyone's noticed, I've made some changes to the colour scheme to try to make the forum more eye appealing. What are people's thoughts. If anything is less readable now, let me know and I'll switch things back. But I think black lettering on yellow background is still quite readable.

Also next year is our 20th anniversary. Do people have any 20th anniversary suggestions for the forum?
 

Okay. if people aren't liking them I can try to revert back to the older colours or try something different. I was trying to go for something a bit more otherwordly but I wasn't a fan of Capes (Optional)'s white on black.

Well purple is my favorite color, so I can't really complain lol

Just two days before I add a few things 20th anniversary related. Let me know your thoughts!

A minor switch: because he's the one most active in the thread, skippcomet is taking over from Lonewolf36 in terms of handling the Imaginary threads, the main one in particular. This is strictly a practical decision as he's in a better position to keep the list of names in the main Imaginary thread up to date. As with Lonewolf36 before him he's otherwise hands off in terms of Moderator activities. If I'm not available, zuckyd1 or Loki are the ones to reach out to.
