A number of changes, including a couple of new Moderators! (and myself)

[Phases]

Hello all!

I guess let me start this off by introducing myself. I'll make this short, and perhaps follow up a little later with more. I'm Phases - one of your friendly general administrators. I do run another site but I'll be helping out here and there as needed - however involved that may or may not turn out to be. Happily married man, and happy to be here!

Secondly, allow me to publicly welcome the first member-appointed staff to the team - techblitz and slack! The rest of us were already a team (or coming on board) when we formed this place.

Needing to appoint new mods is always a good thing. Anytime you are short on staff - well that's a great problem to have.

So anyway - congrats again guys, glad to have ya on board!

I've made a number of initial changes to just help out and depending on how my involvement here evolves, there are other things I may do.

Public Changelog below, May 10-11:

- created site dev, site owner groups - moved people around. This is so it is more clear each persons role, so that members may better know who to contact for various things.

- ordered groups display on View Forum Leaders... Site Owner -> Administrators -> Mods -> Site Developers

- created team forums, admin and mod central... this is for staff use

- set reported posts to go into subforum under mod central (Please report posts! Spam, trouble users.. There is a "report" button on the left of each post under username, etc)

- default time zone changed from overseas to CST

- depth of subforums changed so first level down show on home. Not applicable for public forums at the moment.

- spoiler bbcode

- strickthrough bbcode

- Rules / Guidelines sticky in Introductions

- cleared buncha spam

- added 50-75 censored words that will come up as ***'s. Please don't bypass the filters

- removed 10 character limit on posts

- increased max character limit on posts

- increased thread title character limit

- increased number of images in post

- min time between posts cut in half (floodcheck)

- increased time limit to edit post title, imposed time limit to edit post content to 24 hours

- changed posts per thread page from 10 to 20

- emailed several design problems to sammy/rob, no need to report these (white/blank text in forum jump dropdown, pages.. / Search button hiding behind log in/out buttons / Phone forums only supporting five rows before breaking out of template) (Phones category not bordered correctly)

- added Samsung Omnia M forum

- added Post Thank You hack, you can now "thank" posts, left side of each post.
