I don't think it will suprise anyone when I say, Thank You, Staff!
I think that a board like this is Absolutely Incredible Wonderful, in that it's a large part of what I (and I think many fellow players) have been after for awhile now. To me, it's a reminder that despite all the hassles players and staff get into, that staff is listening. I also think that this, along with a number of other improvements on the IC side (code changes, new clans, etc.) show that the current Arm is alive and well, and not being given the cold shoulder. I'm hoping that the new board will provide some movitation for others who have considered making guides, and as a sort of (yes, I'm mentioning it!) inner-Arm Wiki for ideas to make into guides. It's really encouraging to me.
I hope that you all (players and staff alike) will put in commentary on some of the ideas purposed here, both the newer and the older, and maybe considering posting some of your own article/guide drafts.
