Forum Trophy Updates

• A trophy was added for Github account association, similar to the ones for Twitter, Facebook, Google, and so on (10 points). You can use Github to log onto the Star Army forum.

Wiki Plans & Updates

• My intent is, now that Xenforo can be used for OAuth Single-Sign-On, is to eventually add "Sign in with Star Army" as the primarily login method for the wiki. I have been trying to get this set up but it's not ready yet.
• Struct Tag clouds are now fixed on the wiki and I am restoring pages that used them.

Can You Help Out?

There's a new Tasks section that has tasks the staff could use help with. Usually these are things like making missing wiki articles. This was created based on a popular idea from the suggestions forum.

Star Army, you guys can get get these awards -- but only if we apply. I know we have some great characters, game masters, players, and posts, so I encourage folks to do so. I'd love to hear the great things people are nominating too.
