Hey guys! It's time for another RMN update! What do we have today...?

1) Numerous places of the site have been touched and tweaked to improve performance. Some of you may have noticed some server outages lately and I am hoping to constantly bring down the performance hits on the server. I don't like them either.

2) In my ever expanding crusade to ruin everything you love about the internet, the site will internally work with comments and forum posts as the same thing. This will help me AND you. You'll finally get to see comments in a user profile.

3) Speaking of user profiles, they have also been reworked to be less ugly and have more information. There are also perks for moderators in here that is none of your damn business!

4) This merges the "user" pages and "account" pages together. It all works much better.

5) Frontpage tweaks. I am removing the Game Tag area on the frontpage since it's kind of dumb. But I am also removing random images because it is somewhat more taxing than it needs to be. Instead of these elements, it will instead show the latest blog posts, downloads, and images added to the site. These will hook into a kind of blog post/download/image "news feed" thing that lets you view all that junk together. Basically the replacement for Screenshot Topics.

6) Other stuff I can't really remember.

When will this occur? Most likely this week. I can't say for sure, but definitely this week!
Frontpage Game Tag Command: The Attack of RMN3.2?

Good to see that you've managed to improve performance in areas, here's to hoping it helps with server uptime!
R.I.P. random images. :'(
They were unfairly weighted towards Hero's Realm anyway.

Edit:
Refreshed the front page nine times and saw a screenshot made by kentona.
From this topic, I clicked the RMN logo and got this, first try.
what about inline images

(Also hoping that this helps with RMN being down 80% of the time when I check it out)

Me too.
Lol. Great way to reduce the load on the server guys =)

Ah well, if random images are going down anyway, let's have a battle to see who can refresh-up their title screen first!

Co-sign. I've discovered lots of cool projects that way.
I will be sad to see the random images go, even though one of mine has NEVER appeared on it. It's what has caused me to run across projects I've actually downloaded and played.
I'd also lobby with the people that would rather have them stay. It's nice to be able to get a good screen every once in a while.

I have to say that I don't even understand what most of the other stuff even means so, I have no comment.
I don't care one way or another if the images go or not, but all the other stuff sounds cool.

Update on the update!

I am probably about 90% done with the things I wanted to have. The update won't be happening until next week, as I am going out of town this weekend.

Few things I've done so far:
-Converted forum and comment systems into a single unified "post" system. You can easily see where ANY activity is bubbling up on the site now. I will probably do some aggregating stuff to show popular topics. Topics in this case are forum topics, games, images, podcasts, etc.
-Cleaned up game tags so it's easy to pick genre and "flavor" tags. It works way better.
-Added an additional customization to game profiles that should please a lot of people!
-Other junk
Looking forward to it! Mostly the other junk. ;)

Wait, I'm behind, has this happened yet?

(Most of the obvious stuff looks the same but you could have very well changed some behind-the-scenes stuff.)
