Ironed out a few annoyances with the new profiles (namely the excessive notifications and superfluous extra like function on posts), added in a new "Interests" profile field so that we can Myspacemaxx, changed the default avatar to a silhouette of Mayushii~ and got rid of the circle border, added all flair submissions.

This'll be the last bit of tinkering I do for a while probably

Mostly small things lately. Added lines from the VNs to the random quote generator, added some old memes in as emoticons (you can find them after all of the SciADV ones starting on page 3, wanted to keep those on top since they're more topically relevant), added a Spoiler symbol to the post icons, added clanker protection that should not inconvenience the end user at all, updated the board e-mail so that the contact us and general message the adminstrator functions work properly, added 3 new 88x31 buttons to the codes section on the About page.

Oh and we also have a new site mascot, say hello to Del-chan! (huge thank you to nyan and his wife for providing this lovely piece of art to the site!)

Got rid of the LinkEx page and replaced it with a more proper Webring page (though I sadly couldn't get the thumbnail feature in the extension to work so everyone just gets a FGL pin for now; if you know of a site that allows for thumbnail hosting let me know!), added a highly customisable site RSS/ATOM feed for the forum.

Small change but users can now change the colour of their username by going to the UCP and setting a colour code or using the picker.

Edit: Also improved the site's SEO so hopefully we should show up on search engines eventually

Biggum this time. Added a new Hall of Fame page and Poster of the Month mechanic to the site, expanded statistics on the index page, we now have a new subforum for both talking about video games and playing games on the forum. On the new subforum there is also an ability to roll a dice which is enabled board-wide and the plan is to use it to host some games, such as Risk, on the forum itself. Also added all banner submissions.

Added an on-site currency, which you can obtain via posting and starting topics. Said currency can be spent in the "Shop" on waifus to showcase next to your posts above the profile flairs section. Will be adding more stuff to it soon. Also added extra poll options (including the ability to see who voted for what).

[Maypews]

Added new items to the shop including 2 new perks, anonymised all user IPs, and I believe I've fixed the disappearing profile banner issue. So if you had yours disappear you can reset it now and it should be fine.

Edit (06/03/2026): I also added in a "My Inventory" button in the shop so that you can easily navigate to your waifus without having to do it from the counter on the miniprofile. To make them appear under your posts from the inventory, click "Showcase".

[Maypews]

Added an affiliates tab for other communities to partner with us, and I also might add buttons there for site events (like links to the Anime Club and Manga Club) and SciADV-related fan projects made by members here as well. Probably won't add member personal sites since we have so many! A good problem to have, though.

I've also had to disable the random upas function in the wake of the IBN Incident (June 24th 2026). To make up for it I raised the amount of upas you get up from 5 per topic and 1 per post to 20 per topic and 10 per post.

Enabled quick reply sitewide, changed around some of the subforum descriptions, added more traditional forum smilies which you can find on pages 4, 5 and 6 of the emoticon picker.

[Maypews]

Added 26 new banners, made moderation log thread, added lots of characters to the waifu shop since it increasingly doesn't seem that the ext is gonna get updated. A new rule modification has also been made, namely that spoilers must be properly spoiler tagged in all threads (except for the dedicated SciADV Spoiler Talk containment thread).
