When the site was hacked by the forces of evil last year, we had to remove several modules due to their vulnerability to future attacks. One of them was our awards module. Since we keep handing out awards and haven’t had anywhere to put them, we’ve developed a temporary fix. Awards are now being posted in each member’s respective profiles in the comments section towards the bottom of the page. This is a labor-intensive process and there’s still a ways to go, but we’re almost there. If there an award you’ve had in the past, it’s in your folder so go check it out and enjoy it again!

Well, another year has passed and the Haven is stronger than ever!

This year, we combated  an attack by hackers quickly and efficiently, having the site back online within 36 hours of the initial attack. We rolled out custom software to make Caption Trading and Links Navigation simpler and more user friendly thanks to Bren, Dementia, and Courtney. We saw the beginning of a new baby in Cassandra's Coliseum and a continuation of the Save the Work Project that included the work of Donnie, to which we are currently the only site I'm aware of authorized to post his entire collection.

Several improvements for the site are currently under development, most of which will replace software I only ever tolerated. As the work is still ongoing, I'll only state now that these projects will only make the site more user friendly, more stable, and less likely to be hacked.

Due to our recent hacking, We've pushed up the release on an upgrade we had in development the last few months. Butwho could describe it better than the lead developer herself, Dementia?

"  ... simple to use and understand (I thought) ... minimalistiic (which is what i like).... "

Or how about our programming leader, Courtney?

" ... it is an extensible and dynamic link application that can expand and adapt as the need arises...  and it's one of Dee's crowning acheievments.... "

So have a look at our brand new toy as we upgrade and restore an old feature with a little new flair! You'll find it listed under 'Links' on the menu!
