Getting rid of comics news

We've decided to get rid of the Comic News forum, as it became painfully obvious that we are not, in fact, a comics news site. The forum will be removed soon, but in the meantime we have changed the front page of the site to show the last 15 most recently updated relevant threads. Relevant, I say, because it only displays updated threads from the comics, movie, and TV forums - not any of the off-topic forums. This will give visitors a good gauge of what we are talking about and should ensure a steady supply of fresh blood.

The posting of news is always welcome, it will just stay confined to the appropriate forum rather than an all-encompassing news forum. If you are posting breaking news about a change on an Avengers title, for example, just put it in the Avengers forum like always. The only difference is that it will stay there permanently rather than be moved by a mod.

Ultimate Central going offline tonight (temporarily)

You might have noticed that the Ultimate Central forum isn't working quite right today. The biggest issue is that it's not possible to view forums, and therefore users are unable to post new threads.

We'll be taking the site down tonight sometime around 10PM to midnight EST (-5 GMT) to do some upgrades which will fix the problem. The downtime will be around a half hour or so.
