Supreme Commander Heaven Launched

HG launches Supreme Commander Heaven. Creezy a.k.a. Hairy Scary Man is the seraph for the site – drop by and say hi :) Thanks to Pecunia, Oliver, and Purple for working so hard on the launch, and also special thanks to FD2 and King_Jared for getting the project rolling during its initial phase.

The site uses a new feature in the forums which replaces the old News posting system we’ve been using at HG for at least the past decade. Staff can post news in the news forum using the forum’s own text-formatting facilities (HTML and BBCode for now), and users can comment on the news by posting them as replies in the thread. The site also features a RSS news feed through support of the forums. Upcoming HG sites will be using that to power their news, while older sites will be retrofitted once a conversion script is written to map NewsPro accounts to forum accounts and import old news into the forums.

Along the way we hit a few bumps, namely the ‘whispter’ fiasco. Sorry about that … the module required a few changes behind the scenes to make it all work :)
