Some slight updates (may have affected forum traffic for some time):

-- Link to links pages now shown on new GF website so search engines can find and index them
-- Conflicting/extra robots.txt file removed, must've been added when the forum was updated
-- RSS forums Weather Center and Politics boards phased out (topics on these can be posted in the Off-Topic area)
-- Older RSS topics were removed, most had bad linking and HTML
-- Analytics tracking code added to the new skins

I'm looking to restrict new members from adding info to their signature block until one day after joining to hamper black hat SEO spammers as soon as we see a good increase of new members on the boards.
 
I apologize for taking over your topic spirit and nice updates to the forum. but I have added something for the Xbox users on this forum.


Announcing the new addition to the GF forums, Bouncy XBox LIVE v2.2.2. Here is a description (copied as is from the IPB resource page):

Bouncy XBox Live brings your forum and your gaming community together to provide the ultimate possibilitys for gaming based sites, or sites that just want to allow members to show off there achievements.

Bouncy XBox Live provides many advanced features to do more than just display boring statistics. It features a dashboard style layout which can use many themes with ease, A face full of community options allowing members to compare achievements, gamerscores and games. There are alot of cool features and many free modules, hooks and community addons on there way!

Features:

Customize: members can choose from themes you upload with just 1 click, allowing their gaming profiles to stand ut from the rest!

Avatars: Fully supporting XBox lives new Avatar system and items from the Avatar marketlace, Gamers TRUE avatars are shown right in their profile!

Equip: Not only do themes change the dashboard and style of the profile, they also allow for new items to be added to the gamers avatar! for example the screenshot above shows an avatar Equiped with a Lancer gun from the Gears Of War theme.

Smooth: Smooth transition effects for recent games which will automatically rotate through your recently played games. Also clicking on games icons will switch the window to that games information.

Speed: Gamers data is saved in a special cache folder right on your webspace, meaning that loading of information is still fast during busy periods. The cache is then updated when needed if it is more than 1 minute old, so you always have the latest available data for each gamer.

This gives you the ability to set up clan matches and compare and compete against other gaming communitys to battle for the top position.

If you have Xbox and a online alive account, then click on the Xbox Live tab at the top of this forum and input your gamertag info to show off your game achievements.

Enjoy and report any and all problems and errors to the GF bug board. Since I neither have a Xbox or a live account, I need members who use this to report anything since I can not view it.

P.S, I'm still looking high and low on the internet for something like this for PSN and the Wii channel. Let me know if you know of something like this for PS and Nintendo users.
