Accepting Credit Cards in 2018
Omniscient has announced that credit cards will be an accepted method of payment for upgrades starting January 2018. He hopes this addition will be convenient for new members who want to upgrade but are not familiar with cryptocurrencies. Many members have expressed their excitement in response to this announcement and hopefully it will positively impact the forum. >> Source

Prestige Formula Changed
Omniscient altered the prestige formula once more to include the number of threads users have created. Members now earn more prestige for starting discussions than just posting responses. The new formula has already been cracked by ☃BowmanBot☃, Makaveli The Don and xadamxk in this thread. >> Source
