Quite a few updates/changes have happened web-side, so it was worthy of its own update post!

• Fixed intermittent 52X Cloudflare errors
• Improved page speed loading in certain scenarios
• Improved web security (TLS 1.2+ enforced)
• DB server stability issues around the 18th have been resolved - our host has identified the issue and dealt with it accordingly. I have been looking into high-availability options to mitigate possible downtime in the future, although there is not a 'one solution fits all' answer for us.
• Improved backup-time performance

The website has seen a significant upgrade, Xenforo has released a very nice feature update, I will share the highlights (along with some changes I have made):

• Added GIPHY support
  
  
  
  
• Improved anti-spam measures
• New, customizable rich text editor
• Saved drafts increased to 7 day...

Before we start off, I want to wish everyone a very happy new year! I hope this year brings you great joy, and success in all that you do.

That being said, I want to apologize for being a bit behind on the web updates. Content additions (mainly maps) are mainly announced as they happen in our Discord, however I like to do more of a monthly wrap-up here to really get down to the nitty gritty with what has been changed/fixed/added/etc, which I was a bit behind on, so this will be a large one.
