New Website and Forums

As has been noted previously, we have been working on a new design for the TLO website and forums. JohnF has been taking the lead on this project, and from what I've seen so far, it looks spectacular. The transition to the new website and forums is likely to take place sometime this month. Stay tuned for more details. If you'd like to get a peek at the new website, contact JohnF and he might give you a link to the beta-site—just make sure to give him your feedback! For those interested, our new forums will be SMF based, and better integrated into our website.

RPG-X

With the cancellation of Apocalypse, we have an open RPG-X SRP slot for the first time in many months. I encourage everyone with an interesting SRP idea who meets the requirements to host one to send them in and put on a pilot episode! Once the pilot episodes are complete, RPG-X officers will be able to vote on what SRP idea they'd like to see get the commission. For more information, check out Talus' announcement.

Our RPG-X mini-series' are also wrapping down. Please join us for the conclusion of Salem this weekend, and stay tuned for more details about Outcasts!

Star Trek Online

Our fleet starbase has been progressing steadily. Please remember to keep construction projects stocked, and hop on whenever you can and grab up doffs, dilith, fleet marks, etc! If you haven't played STO in awhile, I encourage you to return. We can always use more hands on deck to feed the Starbase! Also, I believe SFC will be releasing more information about project Savior soon.

Minecraft

xHellfire has informed me that he is stepping down as Minecraft CO, due to an increase in real life commitments. Therefore, I have opened up a job post for the position. Anyone interested should fill out the application and apply—this is a great opportunity to get more involved in TLO, and to have the power to shape a division within this community. Applications are due by the morning of the 5th.

I'd like to thank xHellfire for all the work he has put into making the Minecraft division what it is! He will be remaining on as Minecraft CO until a new CO has been selected.

Community Day

Thanks to all who attended community day! I hope everyone had a blast. A special thanks to Griffiths, TalusRoben, Andzzy, and the Game Commanders for their work in putting together this quarter's community day!

New Members

Please join me in welcoming new members who have joined or returned to us this past month:

nicboyman

Bollen
mmanaconda

Once again, welcome to TLO! We're glad to have you with us!

Ex Astra

This month's edition for Ex Astra will be released slightly later than normal to allow the Press Staff time to publish articles relating to community day in the upcoming issue. The target release date is the 8th. An announcement will be made once the new edition has been released—stay tuned!

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Signed,



President of the Last Outpost
