Gather 'round, people of Star Army!

For starters I want to give huge THANK YOU to all the people subscribed to Star Army as Site Supporters and to everyone who has chipped in to keep the site alive in the past. Your ten bucks or other amount per month goes a long way and has kept the site running.

If you're not familiar with Star Army's donation drives, each year (historically, but not always, in March) we've done a donation drive with the bar at the top of the forums and were usually are...

 

Please take this survey on what Star Army should be concentrating on for next year. It covers map updates, factions, & general feedback. http://goo.gl/forms/nudzFpvYfj

 

Hey SARP! Halloween is coming up and I'm brainstorming ideas for a Halloween event we can run in October to promote RP and community activity.

• A pumpkin hunt
• Dress up your character (art)

I'd like to do at least the trick or treat threads (one per faction) and the character art thing. But I'm just one guy so I'm asking you all to see what your ideas are.

 

I've got a chance to get some free translation services with the site. So I'm asking you: if the Star Army supported another language, what language would you like to see support for?

The poll only has 10 options because that's the forum's limit, but you're free to insert them as your own suggestion in the replies. Some major languages that are not on there are Arabic, Hindi, and Mandarin.

The server has been being pesky over the last 3 days and I think it may be because some robots are trying to index the site too hard. As a result, I've added Cloudflare CDN services, which will help cache the site and also protect us from DDOS type attacks. These are free but we can upgrade them later if we need to.

As a result of the above, you will probably notice a significant increase in the page load speeds throughout the site.
