Welcome. If you can see this, it means that I have updated the forum and it has a new look. First thing you may notice that a lot of things from the old layout are gone. If something you want is gone, do not panic! Nothing has been deleted, and if you cannot find it please just let me know and I will bring it back as soon as I get a chance.
Other things to note about the new layout. First of which is that the Custom cube has been removed. Please notice that this is not permanent! The project has been dying out as of late and it needs a moment to be reorganized before it is breathed back into life. I figure that enough decisions need to be worked on for right now that a slight delay in what is already a very slow process will be okay.
Several other areas of the forum such as the Grand Coliseum have been condensed and moved to other places, so please look for them there. Aside from that, many of the documents that were on the old layout were very out of date and need updating. I am trying to get it done, but am pretty pushed for time and it is going slowly. If people would like to help do writeups for formats or other various documentation please let me know and I will put them where they need to go!
That's it for now, I will keep people updated with new information as it comes out!

Here are some of the upcoming things that are going to be worked on. If people have opinions or would like to participate, please feel free to post here discussing any of them!
Projects:
Events Committee - A committee responsible for planning/managing events for the Magic club, specifically responsible for running our week to week club run tournaments.
Custom Card Cube - This will return, but needs a little down time to get organized.
Deck Discussion Area - People have talked about this in the past, but it always died out before it was actually made. Would people want a place to discuss both casual and competitive decks that they are working on?
Rules and Formats - This area needs an entire revamp of documentation! Please let me know if you have good writeups for a format!

I've probably asked you this before, but how about adding a Shoutbox? I'd like an outlet to share little blurbs about my Magical life

I think you have to pay if you want chat. It may be possible to add a shoutbox script into the page though, dunno.

Okay, the shoutbox now seems to be working, I will probably play with the settings a bit later, but it should be good to go now.

I think the deck discussion area might be nice. Dunno how much people would use it though.

I'll take a look at a deck discussion area, would you want it mostly to talk archive decks that already exist? Or as a place to discuss new decks?
Also, I've been thinking about adding some sort of "Badge System". Not that it means anything, but more like to recognize significant events (top 8ing a tournament, attending a prerelease, etc). What do you guys thing? I have a demo working on my account with 3 "dummy" awards. They are a bit low res, so I apologize for that, but you get the idea...
If you click "awards" to the left of this post, you will see them, and if you go to my profile page you can see more details.

Also a new feature, we now have (some) mana symbol shortcuts installed. Currently if you type the mana "tag" between two colons, you will get the symbol. Therefor :u : (without the space) becomes Other tags that currently work include: "w" "b" "r" "g" "s" "tap" and "untap" I will get more of them up later tonight, keep checking back for updates!

No problem. I'm planning on doing at least the colorless mana tonight. What else should I work on making?
Also, this is sort of a hack-ish way of doing it. Hopefully I will figure out how to just have the text filter and not censor at some point.

Update: Colorless mana now works. The tags (still inside two colons) are "1mana", "2mana", "3mana", etc. Also you may use "xmana"

Update: Hybrid mana is now done. The tags are the color in the upper left of the hybrid, followed by the color in the lower right. So "gu" becomes

I thought about that, but not everyone knows that q is untap, and I didn't want them to get tired of typing :u : and not getting it, so I stepped it back a bit.

I know that. But people won't know what untap is if not u, most people don't know that it's q.

That's good to see that there is interest, the discussion is primarily going on in the other thread however.
