    I honestly thought the vault was a way to submit things for Canon, so others could see a summary of what happened while the wiki was being updated...I was sorely disappointed. But it COULD be that, and that could help make it more useful.

    my comment was lost in the sea of posts after it, so I'll go ahead and re mention it

    We need the monthly Chronicle back. it had a lot of information regarding the site such as events, updates in content, new staff, and even a highlight of a thread. It was a great way to get news as well as see what threads are out there that are a good read.

    Also, about Archon's Vault, it would be very difficult for anything to get into the fault with the AP system (as it had to score above a certain score and whatever else) and need of full judgements. But with updates It could easily be a feature that is well utilized. Maybe make it a goal to have at least one thread per say 3 months? So there's constant new additions to the vault

    I just switched the forum language to UTF-8, which should resolve the issue. It was caused by smart quotes. Let me know if you still see it after a few days (so the server cache has time to reset).

I say we bring back Archon's Vault and give double rewards for summaries submitted in the first month or two.
    For those who are confused, Archon's Vault was supposed to be an archive of all the completed threads on Althanas. Users would post summaries in exchange for rewards to encourage others to read threads (essentially book reports). There was nothing canon about it. It was simply a way to permanently highlight your writing and encouarge others to read your work. It wasn't very popular, so I axed it. Given Workshop feedback is so rare (which frankly should be our focus), I have no intention of bringing this back at our current activity levels.

    I'll make sure someone gets on it monthly.

    Archon's Vault was a player run resource so there was never any AP cost for submissions. The author/submitter picked the best summary after two weeks and that's what was listed.

    Nice, that appears to have fixed it.

    Getting the canon submission forms back up to working seems a popular idea. It would be good to see it coming back onto effect for 4.0 in the next few months. Obviously when you have time.

    Having the wiki up and almost back is great thank you

    This.

    By the way, if I hear one more person moan about not having enough ways to earn AP to pay into tournaments, I'll thumb my eyes out. Go do this.

    Sorry to use this as a place just to complain about stuff, but it appears that tables currently don't work on Althanas.
