Let’s start.
Recently we have been getting DDOS attacks but most have been prevented by the 630 IPs Crayo has firewalled. If one of your friends haven't been on Market Forums recently asked them if they can access it, if not please contact Crayo. Many people have thoughts on this, and one that stands out is Fears "The person is quite low to think that an attack such as that can break us apart. Most of us here are like a family and nothing can separate us. The site will live on" These have been a recent problem within the last couple of weeks but we are thinking Crayo says "We shouldn't do. Our niche "marketing" isn't a blackhat or illegal niche, and we shouldn't attract such activities. However, on some forums our site is located there so there might be some jealous users who do what they can to take us down. Either way; I'll be ready for it, and will do the same as last time to make sure we prevent it." We're hoping we have solved the problem for members can get more time to sit back and enjoy this great forum.
May 26, Sky was in charge of re-doing all the ficon icons and did a great job. All the graphics got a remodel and look fantastic! The site is still in the making of a new logo, but it's all starting to come together. The site is going to be the best forum on the web soon. Stay tune for the making for the best forum on the web. Keep active and help as much as you can and who knows you might become a Moderator.. Good things can happen everyday. I hope to see you on the Moderator team soon.
Thanks to Gabber for making such a great new logo for the site:

Deadly Tornado Hits Minneapolis:
As the storm clears up and the damage is shown the damage isn't replaceable. Families who have lost pets, family members dead. They have estimated over 3 million dollars in damage. As the Tornado leaves Minneapolis and heads towards Missouri. This was one of the most deadly tornado of 2011 so far. Damaging 3 states. As the storm clears up they are predicting another one to come with the storm coming over thw west. Tornado warnings are still in place in all 3 states until late Sunday night. If the tornado was near you were just out of luck. News reporters have reported houses that have nothing left but foundation, cars in trees. It's a sad time for them, and please keep them in mind.
END OF THE WORLD!
Congrats on surving the end of the world.. That was on interesting day, I walked around just fine watching drags. But I guess I was a believer.. Oh wait I know some people who aren't and they did too! They predicted May 21 to be the last day of the world. people were all prepared for this with laying their dogs down and so much more. People took things all to serious reporters say. The guy that guessed it was ending on May 21, earned over 3million dollars, and is now predicting the world to end on Oct. 21and is assures us this is the correct day. But as many of the audience said "Want to bet on that" we shouldn't worry about it this time. Because out of all of the 4 times he has guessed he has been incorrect. Reporters say there is a 1/1000000 that he is correct this time.
Great job you guys, you have impressed us all because of your activity, we were thinking this wasn't going to be active because of all the exams. But congrats you have shocked me and the rest of the staff. On May 26 when we broke the post record for one Day we also broke one extra record. That was the most signups in a 24hour time. We had 64signups in a 24hr time zone. That is fantastic if we did that for a week we would have over 248 members. If the members kept posting around 1500post a day we would have 10500 post in a week’s time. This next week Noreturn is challenging everyone in the next week May 30-June 5 to average 1000post a week. And if we do that you might get a prize from him. It's not only how much you have posted but how good qualities the posts have been.
We would like to take some time to personally thank members that have posted lots and good quality:
Quiet: You have been active on the forum this week posting lots but also lots of great tutorials. Not only tutorials but hand written ones. We appreciate that, and we look forward for you keeping the great work up.
Volenar: You stand out from the crowd, you don't post "lots" but when you do post its High Quality. All your threads have been useful to lots of members, and we all look forward to more of your threads.
You will get a prize here in the next couple of hours.
New Feature to Newspaper:
This is a totally a brand new idea Noreturn had, if you stand out because of your high qaulity threads that week and you get mentioned in the newspaper you will get 1000points, and also put into a drawing to win a award. This is the only way you can win the award. If you win the drawing you will also get 500 points on top of that. This is going to be a great feature I hope you all jump on it.
