Hi everyone :)

We're soon starting a whole new way of communicating with each other on this wiki. Wikia have come up with some rather nifty new forum software that's gonna allow us to speak much more quickly with each other. New threads can be made to be seen by all registered users. And once you post in an existing thread, you'll get personally notified when someone adds something new to that thread.

This should mean a drastic reduction in the number of times you kinda forget to wander back into a thread, as well as teh number of occasions on which people legitimately say, "But I didn't know there was a discussion about that at the forums!"

For the moment however, I gotta ask everyone to stay away from the forums. Gimme about 48 hours to figure out all the new styling and make this thing "ready for prime time".

I'll let ya know when we can start talking again, what'll happen to the existing forum threads and all that other jazz.

One thing's for absolute certain though, people: Howling:The Howling is unaffected. It's still the only social area of the wiki where spoilers are allowed. And this new technology will not be made available in The Howling.

(By the way, while I'm working on enabling the new forums, do feel free to post to this thread only and ask questions.)
