"News: Yellow Knife disguised as a duck"
posted by Sai on 13 Jun 09:15 PM
Stumbled across this news, regarding an art sculpture in honour of Dudu Geva. Look familiar? 
Looks like the aliens are at it again! Watch out, it may let out a colossal quack and cause a sonic wave of nausea to spread across the city! As a Yellow Knife is supposedly good to eat, it seems fitting, as roast duck is on some peoples menus.
More info: Report on the sculpture

"Update regarding the spam >_<"
posted by Sai on 20 Apr 02:35 AM
Just a quick update,so far so good on the spam front *fingers crossed*
No new spam bots have joined since the script was implemented so far. A series of spam posts was made but by a bot that had joined weeks ago. That bot has now had its account manually removed along with other spam-type user accounts hanging around that could of caused problems in future (e.g. spam urls in profile entries).
If you notice any glitches or have any trouble registering let me know. 
"Some updates"
posted by Sai on 25 Sep 07:15 PM
Sorry for not being around so much recently guys. Been busy with a full-time job and starting my final year of University. But I hope to update the main site when I get chance.
But just to let you all know, I updated the script for the fanlisting so at least I can update it now without all that headache! After I cleaned out the robot spammers (ugh) we now have 100 members!! I've put the 100 member award on the Site page of the fanlisting. Also with the new script you can update your info etc.
I apologise for some spammers getting onto the forum (how ironic that they'd spam the 'stopping spammers' thread the most!). I had thought I'd stopped that but it seems a couple of sections still had old permissions. I've updated it now.
How are you guys by the way?

Still busy with the script bugs I need to fix here etc. Rather daunting! 
But I have been collecting a few things to update the main site with and still remember the suggestions for updates to the forum.
I'll probably email everyone on the fanlisting to state when the updates are done... (don't worry, I hate spam so it won't be a regular thing). I added 4 more people so we've got about 89 people now on the fanlisting.
