Next Staff? by @Chic - Due to the recent changes made with the staff team, @Christy being demoted, @Jason stepping down, and @"Cann!bal" being promoted to Staff, many users are wondering if there will be any more changes. @Chic asked about others' opinions on what might happen. This thread was merely conjecture and opinion, but there were a few interesting things shared on this thread. Feel free to check out this thread and share your opinion on what might happen.
March 18th, 2014 by @Michael - Aside from being ForumKorner's anniversary, March 18th will be a big day for one of our beloved users, @"Michael". Our fellow newsman has an appointment with his surgeon, and will commence his recovery. Hopefully, he will soon be able to walk again. As some of you may know, @Michael hurt his ankle while playing soccer. He currently has two screws in and can only walk when he's on crutches. We would like to lend our support to our fellow writer during his recovery. Don't forget to show support for him on this thread.
Do you believe in an afterlife? by @Paradox - Do you believe in an afterlife? The user @Paradox asked this question this week. His question was met with lots of strong answers and opinions. Whenever religion is involved, the debate becomes quite heated. Share your opinion on the idea of afterlife on this thread.
Sketchy, Sketchy Aleyoso by @Michael - This weekend, ForumKorner was struck with a bolt of drama involving the user @"Aleyoso". He was involved in an insanely large scam involving Xbox Ones and accessories. @Michael was able to expose some of his past activity and even some of his current activity. In the end, it was revealed that @Aleyoso was a scammer. A scammer who managed to get away with about 50 users' addresses and an unknown sum of cash. To read about the situation in detail, check out @"Michael"'s thread.

Last Week's Winner: @Mojo
@"Hitmarker": Before we begin, is there anyone that you want to Shoutout on FK?
@"Mojo": Sure. To @Spook , and @Shade for selling me a group!
@"Hitmarker": Speaking of your new group, what are you planning to do with it?
@"Mojo": I haven't really thought about it that much. Just to get a cool userbar, hopefully have a few HQ members join, and have fun!
@"Hitmarker": How does it feel to win the lottery twice in a row, and to win the biggest lottery in FK history?
@"Mojo": It felt amazing to even win the first time, with only 142 tickets. But when I won the second time, I didn't know how to feel. The total koins I recieved from the second lottery was 900,000. It turned out I didn't really spend them very quick, so I purchased a group for 800,000!
@"Hitmarker": How did you find ForumKorner, and what made you stay here?
@"Mojo": I found ForumKorner by being refered by @Spook. I was trying to sell twitter follower services over twitter, but nobody would buy. He then suggested I try ForumKorner, and I have been hooked ever since!
@"Hitmarker": Do you ever plan on leaving FK? If so, why?
@"Mojo": The only time I can picture myself leaving ForumKorner is when I cannot keep up with school work, which I doubt will ever happen.
@"Hitmarker": Now let's get a little personal, what are your hobbies and how old are you?
@"Mojo": I'm 15 years old, and my hobbies are Skateboarding, and sitting on ForumKorner.
@"Hitmarker": Are there any last words you want to say while I'm here with you today?
@"Mojo": #FreeStrike
