We're pleased to announce three highly requested updates to features here at theOtaku.

Update #1: Removal of the flood warning from Chat. A lot of our members like to create a room in chat for the purpose of role-playing. However the system is designed to prevent members from putting too much information in quickly and would often kick them out of the chat room. So now all of you can play your games in chat without worrying about being kicked out by the auto mod system.

Update #2: Increased Privacy for world posts. Many of our members have worlds that are for their friends only or just for personal use. With the recent change to how updates are displayed in the backroom, this meant that anyone subscribed to them could see the title even if they couldn't read the post. To help keep those worlds private, as they rightly should be, if a world is set to "Just Friends" or "Just Me" then other people who are subscribed to you can't see the title of its posts in their backroom.

Update #3: Increased front page coverage for artists. As many of you know, if someone has more than one popular fan art, wallpaper or e-cards up, all of them can end up displayed on the front page. Since we have so many talented artists a filter was added to the system so that a member can only have one item in each section (wallpapers, fan art, e-cards, etc.) at any time on the front page. By doing this people still get their art displayed but other artists won't be left out if someone has more than one item up at the same time.

Special thanks go out to all of our members who took the time to let us know about the changes they would like to see.
