It's a new month! Oh wow I'm posting this on time! and new updates on the GL forum.

Welcome everyone to a new update as we enter the second month of the year. I hope you're ready because I got some exciting things to say. First off is...

---- Of the Month ----

Congrats to Trilient Trilient for his activity and his contributions to this forum thus far. Thanks and congrats! Topic of the month is: Full NES library on NES Mini

---- Changes ----


For a list of changes, please see this topic: Immediate changes

which I will now detail more on whats said on the link.

---- Zero Posts ----


As mentioned I will be deleting all zero post accounts soon, but I'm going to extend that to the end of the month for now.


---- Of the Month Prizes----


Please read this topic right here if you would. Please bring your attention to the line that says a free video game of your choice ($60 or less and region pending), which to get that free game you must become MotM and then at the end of the year 12 lucky people will get a chance to win one free video game of their choice. I may offer more games or prizes but we'll have to wait and see how the year is turning out.

So yes, by posting, being active you have a very good chance of getting a free game! What other site offers that for so little effort? Of course that's not the only way to get free stuff from GL.


---- Store & Points----


In the GL store which is located above in the navi link I offer a few things, such as gaming credit cards for exchanging our forum points for. No purchase is needed to get these points other that just being active here. I'll be balancing the points this weekend and I may even add the free game offer to it as well, but it will cost a pretty point to get.

If not clear by now, you truly gain by being active here. If you have doubts if I can back my words then look in the past announcements and see I've always awarded members which one person in the past won a Wii U!

Next we move onto Points.

What are points? Well it's the name of our forum currency here which the whole thing needs a better name (if you have one let us know!). You make posts and you get points. I need to clean that linked topic up a bit but its pretty clear. Though you may notice that even if you mad post it will still take awhile so I've come up with three ways to speed up the amount of points you can get:

Monthly Arcade Contest -

This is pretty simple, I'll place a new arcade game for members to get the high score and the highest score at the end of the month wins the points. For now I'll keep it to one game a month but pending on the amount of people signing up I may expand it.

Monthly Forum Contest -

Another simple one, when I post a new GL update thread I'll announce a new forum related contest from posting to other things.

Wanted List -

This will be the more fun one, since we're all gamers here we all play games right? So I'll soon post a list of Wanted Requests, meaning I'll list a few games and some things you need to do (like collect all the riddler trophies in the batman akrham game) and then you show proof and get points for it. So not only do you get points being on the forum, but off as well!

Since I'm running low on time, I'll post these three in more detail later this weekend after getting some feedback from you folks.

I think that will do it for now. Please look forward to more announcements in the coming days and weeks.

As always I like to remind everyone that no matter what, so long as I live, breath, have money and internet I'll keep GL going even if all the current staff leave. So if you see people looking for a new forum to call home, suggest Gaming Latest for now and forever.

---- Stats ----

We currently have 200,609 posts (Yay for 200k posts!) and 2,023 members and in the last month we made 634* posts and got 10* new members!

*please note I posted the last month update extremely and regrettably late, so the stats are not as best as they should be.
 
Wouldn't sending them a mass email be a better alternative?
 
Points are a big selling point of the forum, however it seems most don't know of this. We need to make it more known.

Great updates though!
