| Hello GUNners and GUNettes!
I'd like to announce several major changes around the forums lately.
First there's a noticeable change in our leadership.
Due to real life activities and modding taking up most of his time, @Dragbody has stepped down from Overseer, so that staff duties wouldn't be required from him anymore. He's retained the rank of Paladin, though, which is an honorary title for our legendary modders & admins. He will, in his role as Paladin, remain active in the community and continue modding 
Moving on to other site administrative news:
For General Gaming purposes we've created a modding area
Gaming Modding
where you may post mods or custom content from other titles other than the ones we already have categories for (that's Fallout, Elder Scrolls, GTA, Warframe and Borderlands).
Furthermore, for a gaming niche we hadn't covered before, we've created:
Racing & Drive Simulators
It will serve for all driving and piloting games, such as EuroTruck Simulator, Need for Speed, Forza, Trials, Flatout, and others, even those regarding trains, airplanes, space-ships, sea-ships and underwater vehicles or hybrids.
Other suggestions are welcomed.
As a last addition to the subforums list, we've made an Archives subforum (under News & Administration) to store the locked topics from most of the regular subforums.
Progress: Subforums Fallout Discussion, Skyrim Discussion, Music and Off Topic have already been purged of locked topics, and you can now find those in the Archives.
Exceptions: Locked topics from Screenshot Contests, Graphic Design, Fan-Fic and the exclusive areas of GUNet will not be moved to Archives. But most of everwhere else will eventually be "archived"  For posterity's sake.
Visually we've also improved the forums a bit.
The re-organized GFX Specialist crew has setup a new category of banners: the Mod Banners. They will feature some of the best screenshots of some of our best mods.
Also, take note that there's a new ongoing Screenshot Contest, initiated by one of our greatest modders for his latest release: the T-800 Race by @Suredude.
Participate and grab the chance to have your screenshot in one of our site's mod banners.
Finally I'd like to share an interesting conversation I've had just yesterday, by PM, with one of our newest members:- First message:
- Quote :
- Hi DVAted
I was just wondering how much rep or pots do you need to get accepted into colonials, or how close am i or what do i need to do to get accepted.
Just wonder and thanks
- My reply:
- Quote :
- Hello and thank you for messaging me.
If the posts are of good quality, then a small number.
If the posts are shallow or short, then a large number.
Rep doesn't matter unless you have many negative points.
You're not very close yet, but stay active and you'll get there 
Best regards
- Follow-up message:
- Quote :
- Hi DVAted me again
This is my last pm about this for a while, is there a number of posts i should work towards to get accepted as an idea of how many to go for. Both small posts and bigger ones. Would be much appreciated thanks.
- My reply:
- Quote :
- Sorry but there really isn't a number.
We've promoted people with less than 50 posts, and other people didn't get promoted till they passed 200 and even 400 posts, because they kept breaking rules.
Just stay active
Don't worry about promotion,
the site is much more than the exclusive areas.
Most of our best mods are public releases anyway
Just make friends and enjoy your time here
Best regards
I hope others of our newest members learn something from it
Thank you for being part of GUN
Thank you for being part of modding history 
My highest regards 
Now let's kick off the after-party

| I'm sure Dragbody has his reasons for declining; being an overseer must be tedious at times I was curious about the posting of mods from games that aren't necessarily showcased on this site but this update helps clear that up. Thanks for the update DVAted!

| Cool day report @DVAted. I like about the Driving and racing games. It'll be cool to see what type of driving games people will talk or suggest there. Thanks for the update

| Okay, so this is where the Dragbody announcement was made. And some of the others. I noticed a few changes but never saw an admin post about it. Guess i just missed it |
