Let me be the first to welcome you to intotheinter.net.

As most of you know, we hit a bit of a snag a few days back, but the quick reflexes and a little elbow grease from Joint, Ultamate Warrior, HMD, Visionary and yours truly means we're still alive.

A couple of important things about that past few days and then we'll talk about where we go from here.

  • We want to thank Calitri. This could've ended very differently if it wasn't for him. He didn't have to hand over everything, but he did.
  • The links are safe. Everything is backed up, even if the server explodes, we're good.
  • Invites are closed for the time being, at least until the new staff get used to everything and our roles all settle.

With the past done, onto the future.

Here's whats planned for the short term (sorry no firm dates yet): - Move the forums to the front page - users will be able to enable/disable this in their settings page - Improve user feedback and involvement in site improvements and changes - improved forums will help with this

Mid term stuff: - Improve the token system (we'll get the user feedback stuff in place before this) - Improve the requests system (some minor things like date stamping bounty claims and bigger things too, more on this at a later date.)

Long term stuff: 1. Revamp the site 5 years is a long time in the land of teh interwebs. And this old girl could use a new coat of paint, an engine service, and some shiny new rims.

We've got a pretty good idea of what we want to do here but again, community feedback is key and will be the main driver this.

So lot's to look forward to. We'll also send an email out in the next couple of days letting non-LL users know where to find us.

Welcome home,

The ITI Team.
