We added a new Plugin to the forum called iSpy!

Czech it out: http://318racing.org/vaispy.php
You can find the link for it up in here:

Along with two other links we added up there for Calendar and Groups.

WHAT IS iSPY?

If you cant figure that out when you click it, its a real-time feed of all new posts.
A great alternative to continuously clicking "What's New?" (an ailment to our "318R addicts", like you, deuce.)

Notice that new little bar at the bottom of your screen? Its :bowdown: CometChat!
Oh yes. Try not to let it reduce the number of posts you make (we know it will, but seriously.. Use the forum primarily, and CometChat secondarily!)

The games work too. Try em'! Invite anyone to play a game with you (I was just beaten by Jdavis in Connect Four!)

318Racing's Reputation System:
The reputation system now works. See that little badge in the icons on the grey bar below my post? Click it! Click Positive or Negative (add reason for negative). TRY IT NOW so the thread becomes more relevant.

What that does is increases or decreases reputation. A fun little system our new forum has, twas a feature commonly requested at the old forum too.

Theres "Reputation" and "Reputation Power". Reputation is the points system I just mentioned (see to the left of my post in my mini-profile where it says 'Reputation: ###'?). Reputation Power is an automatically calculated reputation multiplier based upon multiple factors:

OK. Reputation Power:

• For every 6 months you have been a 318R member, you gain 1 reputation power.
• For every 1000 posts you have accrued, you gain 1 reputation power.
• For every 250 point of reputation you have, you gain 1 reputation power.
• All Admins give/take 15 points.

Rules are subject to change.

Anybody can accept/deny new members through their New User Introduction threads based on reputation!:
Its easy, just give a new user positive or negative rep in their Intro Thread. Once the new user accrues 25 reputation he/she will automatically be accepted into the forum and will be able to view the rest of the forum.
Only give new users rep if their intro thread includes pictures, as well as the other requested information.
Give negative rep and eventually if there is enough negative rep, they will be denied access.
This makes my job as an Admin easier, and your job as a member more fun.
