News Forum

This morning, we successfully upgraded our forum installation to the new XenForo 2 software, which is one of the best and newest forum software packages in the world. You'll find most of the stuff is the same as our older Xenforo 1.5 installation but there's been a ton of under-the-hood improvements and many new features added. As of this writing the site is on the default XF2 forum style (the old ones aren't quite compatible with the new software) but we'll be setting up a new, custom look in the future.
The site has been updated to use HTTPS for all traffic now. This helps protect your privacy and keep your passwords from being snooped on. Every site that has a login should be HTTPS, and Ayenee is no exception! The change is that we supported HTTPS before but you could still get to the site with HTTP - but now it's always going to be HTTPS. See the green padlock or similar icon in your browser. :)
Ayenee.org's forum now supports connecting your Facebook account and using Facebook to log into the forum. To set this up go here: https://ayenee.org/index.php?account/external-accounts Additionally, the site now has a basic privacy policy, which can be found here: https://ayenee.org/wiki/doku.php?id=privacy_policy If you have any suggestions for improving it, let me know. Basically Ayenee doesn't really collect a lot of personal info or more than any other forum.
As part of our efforts to fight spam, the spam cleaner is now connected via an API key to StopForumSpam, a blacklisting service that helps forum admins check IPs and emails for spammers. When a new user registers here, the registration info is checked against their database. This helps cut down the amount of spammers who are able to registered in the first place. Important: Admins and moderators here have access to a powerful spam cleaner tool. It can, in one click, delete all a spammer's content and ban them. If you have access to this tool, do not use it on anyone but actual spammers, as it is now connected to the blacklist service, and misuse of this tool is against their TOS. Also I've added a restriction where new members are...
