Go to your profile page and you'll see you can now create user albums and social groups if you're a 5/8 supporter, moderator or administrator. Non-supporters may join social groups and view albums. It's a pretty small couple of things to add but it's just our way of thanking people for supporting the forum, and we plan to add more such things in the future. The real important thing we were doing while the site was down was setting up a development environment, which will allow me to work on the new frontpage and reviews system--both of which will be available to everyone, not just supporters. Please discuss here any bugs you find in the album and social group features as some might still be floating around. Oh yeah, we've also hopefully fixed the bug that was causing Google not to show any description for pages searched for. EDIT: Social groups and albums are also accessible from the User CP, and will probably soon be accessible from the navigation bar at the top.
Also please keep in mind that any groups or pictures which break the rules of the forum will cause you to be infracted.
The Navbar has been rearranged now to include a "Community" link which includes links to Social Groups, Pictures & Albums, your Buddy List, and the Members list. Thus the Members link in the top of the navbar is gone now.
The social groups thing was shot down when I suggested it because we concluded it would breed factionalism and cliques of users that would cause the retarded bullshit spamfests that followed such movements as the Gronders Harper's Mob and the Dog Mars Brigade. I guess times change.
