A Change Is Gonna Come

[Kalah]

Over the coming weeks and months, a number of changes will be introduced to the Celestial Heavens site. You see, for some time now, we have been looking into the possibility of using a private, dedicated server for the site, placing a nice piece of kit in one of the administrators' home. This would of course increase our server's space, speed and overall performance; question is, what to do with all this extra umph?



Contents-wise, we will be aiming to shift the site's focus a bit. To include a larger audience we will open up for games of other colours on the spectrum. First, we will introduce a separate "sports" section, featuring reviews and contents from such things as football, basketball and ice hockey games. Also, there will be a new forum <i>separate</i> from the familiar "Heroes Round Table" – expanding the already-existing idea of a "Heretics Hall" – in which discussions on the sports arena can be held, and unofficial tech support for sport games offered.



Later on, we plan on continuing this scheme with a section for TV shows, more or less following on the same track as outlined above. The difference is that some members of the old TV.com forum have found the site rather sluggish and wanted to set up shop elsewhere. They have worked for some time already, making it possible to merge their new site with ours in only a couple of weeks. So there you are; soon there will be a section for sports games, and by May we'll have a TV section – featuring gems like <i>Top Gear</i>, <i>The West Wing</i> and the <i>Star Trek</i> series. If the interest is there, we might also consider opening up for documentaries.



Lastly, we have long contemplated including a second language for the site. Since their gaming community is one of the largest in Europe, the choice has fallen on German. We've had several volunteers from other German forums wanting to help with the transition, ensuring that the introduction of the German language on our site will be seamless, and in accordance with proper German grammar.



We are hoping these changes will widen the scope of the Celestial Heavens site, increasing traffic and growth. If you would like to volunteer for any of the tasks ahead, please contact the site's administrators.

I can't believe it, seems a funny, but great "1st April" joke to me.


But I would appreciate this idea a lot!

[Marzhin]

Good one, I almost fell for it before remembering what day it is ^^

[Yurian Stonebow]

I believe I can fly...

[arturchix]

Nice.



April's Fool joke works only once - if you're already fooled, it's unlikely it will happen again the same day.

[Deadguy118]

Wow, you guys almost had me there. Good job.

[Roman]

That wasn't funny!

[Asheera]

Haha, you got me there

[Metathron]

Almost had me too, then I saw the West Wing reference.

[astral76minor]

Nice one. Although I did like the Star Trek idea. I was almost into it.

Gutentag!

*sob sob* Since I didn't read Kalah's thread until today, I got all excited about the dedicated server & expanded Celestial Heavens site; only to have my bubble completely burst by reading the following replies.

An April Fool's joke that 'keeps on kidding'.
