      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Oi lads,<br />
<br />
It&#039;s been a while since myself or staff as a whole have made any sort of public facing post within this Forum Meta section, so I figured the presence of this thread would be good to have as just a touch-base to let folks know we&#039;re indeed active and alive every once in a while.<br />
<br />
My updates will mostly relate to the routine maintenance that keeps this autistic hivemind well-oiled, while the rest of staff might pop in for more community focused updates if they so choose. Basically...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[We don&#039;t seem to have a generalized rule thread, mostly because everyone here knows forum etiquette.  As we grow, it shouldn&#039;t fall on the veteran members to have to teach the young&#039;uns the ways of the Club, so here goes (more to be added on an as-needed basis):<br />
<br />
<b>1.)  Be civil.  </b>Don&#039;t act like a dick and you won&#039;t be treated like one.  There&#039;s a huge difference between good natured ribbing and becoming the forum pariah.  Do not become the latter.<br />

I know I&#039;ve mentioned before, but for a really long time, I had no idea what the Moderators had permissions to do around here, but now I (kind of) know!<br />

<br />
Between everything that&#039;s happened over the week as well as Chris&#039; rapidly increasing activity, we&#039;ve decided to look into bringing more people on board to better keep up with everything going on. After some discussion and combined with a long-overdue need to cleanup threads and keep a tighter lid on reports, we&#039;ve decided to bring on 3 new mods who will be much more active than our current, at-times nonexistent or ghosted moderation.<br />

<br />
Having only been recently conceptualized and seen in the wild for about a week, javascript based cyptocurrency miners are a new trend that offers a way for websites to potentially cover their operating costs without the need for advertisements.  The biggest of the six major platforms to enter this market is called Coin-Hive.<br />
<br />
Unlike traditional mining, Coin-Hive&#039;s miner runs within a web-browser through JavaScript and uses only CPU processing power.  While CPU mining is far less...<br />

<br />
As a part of the Chris-following community, an unavoidable facet of Christory that we will face or have archived is NSFW content. While it can be the source of some of the most notable (and arguably most hilarious) content such as the infamous JULAY video, mixing and taking a shot of semen with Fanta, the Unclit, and random...<br />

Hello all,<br />
<br />
As you may have noticed, the forum structure has changed around a fair bit and you&#039;re probably wondering what&#039;s going on. Staff has been considering making changes for some time, and we are now at a point where we can officially unveil the new layout.  Moving forward, we&#039;re...<br />
