Change Is Afoot At The Mill... { Forrest }
From the (Frigid)Man himself:Just wanted to give you a note about some changes at the Mill, for whatver purpose you would want to do with it.So if you haven't signed up already, then go do it!1) Ratings have had the smack down put on. No longer can a general visitor rate any plugins or maps. Only Users are allowed to participate in that feature. Being a user is free, and costs you nothing but a few minutes to signup for an account that doesnt spam you with ads or sell your information to advertisers.
2) A slight bit of weeding and rejection will now be present on new submissions. If its in the best interest of the Mill to not post some lame 2k plugin that just changes the name of some unit, or is something that is more buggy than useful, then so be it.
3) The main home page has undergone a face lift/adjustment for all non-users. Style 1 (mostly archives, very little news) is now in effect as default for non-users and new users. This is adjustable once you become a user, and can be set back to the "old way" the Mill home page used to look like (mostly news, not much else).
These changes are for the best, and to reduce the amount of crud that has been going on. Abuse of the ratings will no longer be tollerated, and posting of useless garbage will not be had either. These changes are welcomed by most Mill users, yet we know a few will gripe and complain. Tough... the respectable public has spoken, and this will be how it is.
