I'm tentatively scheduliing an upgrade for the software that runs Clown Forum on
(edited) the morning of August 2nd. I've been kinda dreading this update because it's going to mean a lot of template revisions, and there's a possibility that some of the modifications I've made won't work with the new version. I won't know until I try it, though. So if anything is broken after the forum comes back online, hold tight as I probably already know about it. If it continues and I don't seem to have noticed, let me know.
Once the upgrade is completed, Clown Forum will have some new features, most of them related to that social networking so popular these days:
Thread tagging
Search cloud / tag cloud
Thread prefixes
Reciprocal friendships between users
Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
User picture galleries with user comment facility
User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
Extended member profile pages
Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
Inline editing of custom user profile fields
Lightbox viewer for attached images
Notices system for navigation bar
User change history
Social bookmarking integration
Edit: As Sir Toony pointed out, the originally scheduled time would have been when the returning Moosecampers were logging in after a week's absence
