There was talk recently about updating the RPG, and the forum for that matter, but I think the boss has decided not to do it, or at least wait until the current battle tournaments are over.
The advertising can be a bit touchy. We are fighting advertising by spam bots on the forum now, and members aren't allowed to advertise other forums here, except by small sig links. Wouldn't look good for us to say no to it here, but go ahead and do it on other sites. I'd hate this site to go spammer, especially by popups, the most hated form of advertising on the web
.
If members are registered on other sites, and are allowed to do it under their rules, then putting a link to this site in their sigs would help. I have one on Shaggy's arcade games forum to this site, and a link to that site in my sig here. We can't force new members to post however. All we can do is keep the forum active, and hope that once they join, they'll want to be an active part of the community
