You've probably all noticed (well.. you probably haven't, but anyway) that I have removed the art gallery and profiles sections for good. The main reason I did this was to put acheron on a more streamlined path.

I have also created a new submissions policy and redid the submission page a bit too to make it a little more user friendly.

Look for a more culled articles and interviews section in the future too -- are there any of these you guys think should be removed or atleast archived?

so basically you're running low on space. :)

HOw did you guess? :)

Well no, that's not the whole thing tho. Acheron is getting pretty big and most of the articles and interviews (the later especially) are getting pretty old, so I thought I'd do a bit of a clean up.

And the profiles and art gallery were basically just taking up space.. Let's face it..

Stuff that's mostly text (profiles, articles) don't take up a lot of space, and they do give us a good sense of our history. I think it should remain in accessible archives if not available here 8)

Yeah, I'm thinking a lot of the articles and shit can stay here, even in html form for all to view. The reason the profiles and shit went down is that pretty much no-one ever viewed them, so it was pretty pointless having them online.. As for the art -- well that's what VTAG and hirez.org are for :)

Ok, some more changes to the site..

I have added some new 'features' to the news/annoucements page. Preceding every items header, one of the following will appear:

NEWS: a proper, 'biggish' news item.. ie. Awe dying..

ANC: an announcement, ie. FOS needs writers..

RELEASE: a pack/group release..

It's just a category thing really..

I have also made a new links section which is running in cgi. It is much faster and also more easily updatable.. Please note that the personal links section will be placed online within a few more days.. The irc channels section will also be changed to this new format..
