Now that the Gallery Reference has been released, the staff has finally been free enough to do some small, but much needed updates to the site. This thread will be to update everyone on the updates.
1. Reference Updates
With all the work on the Flash Gallery and Reference Gallery, some much needed fixes and updates to the other portions of the Reference went undone. We have now begun fixing alot of these to include fixing broken attachments, fixing broken images, fixing broken links, & adding missing scans/releases. All of the 5 major reference sections (Discography, Video, Information, Versions, & Gallery) are being updated and fixed, each section lead by one of the mods on the site. The staff has really come together to take charge of this section and make it as complete and perfect as it can be for you guys. Remember this section is built by the members & for the members.

2. Homepage
The homepage has been updated with new posts and images. The latest mixtape from [MENTION=842]D-Ace & [MENTION=856]LarsVerb is playable from the homepage now as well. In the future we plan to have all mixtape and other audio releases playable right from the homepage.

3. Behind the Scenes/Server Updates
I have made a number of updates to the Server and behind the scenes portions of the site. Almost every single image, css, & java file now loads through an Edge server, which means much faster load times for everyone, regardless of what country you are in. For more information on Edge Servers/Computing, see the below link.

4. Mixtape Archive
The mixtape archive is getting updated again. Before we added all major and popular mixtape releases, and we will now start adding some more minor, less popular, or lesser known releases.

5. Facebook
Facebook recently had changed their policy to no longer allow normal facebook pages for websites. Because of this, our old facebook page was removed. We have started a new one based on their new policy called a fanpage. The link is below, feel free to Add/Like us.

6. New Entertainment > Music Section
I added a "Rock" section to Entertainment > Music as we seem to have a lot of people who enjoy various forms of Rock music. Threads from Entertainment > Music that were about Rock have been moved.
Rock
7. Site Organization
A few minor changes were made to the order of forums to make things more organized and flow better. The most obvious change being Letter to the President and Welcome to the Hood sections being swapped and the Radio tab being added to the navbar.
As always thanks for all your dedication and support on the site. This site has always and will always remain donation free. Don't forgot work is beginning on Phase 6 of the reference section as well. More information on that in the near future. If you ever have any questions, comments, suggestions, or problems on the site, feel free to PM me or drop a thread in the Letter to the President section.
