Introduction
Welcome to the proud host of many meta-forum properties,
Project Gforum! You can browse around here if you
ever grow bored with the boards.

Even though I have been focusing on Version 2 more lately, I have also been trying to update this version a little before that gets rolled out. This is the reason the poll was updated yesterday, and the reason I have a new feature to share today.
You can now embed your hug button on anywhere on the web. There are a few restrictions; it will not work with old version of Internet Explorer and you still won't be able to give yourself hugs when you're logged in. However, I feel that, barring GIFs, Hugs is the least used feature and I still want to give it its chance.
My ulterior motive for this update was to learn some more AJAX and test my skills, but unfortunately I'm not far enough yet that you can embed the button directly- you must use the workaround "object" tag. Still, I hope this revitalizes the section a bit and hope to see the button on the forums here and there.
Tonight, after more than three months, the Forum debuts on Project Gforum. However, this is merely an open beta (as it says in the navigation) as I have not customized the forum enough to fit in with the rest of Project Gforum. The finalized version of the forum will debut with Version 2.0, but for now all the functionality of the forum is there for you. Just remember to read the rules, and everything should be fine. Have fun!
Coming Soon
The private beta of the forum is going well at this point, to my surprise. Since it's based on vBulletin, and not custom-coded by me, creating a new design for it may take a while. However, this also means it has a huge list of features and enhancements over something that I could do at this point, so it all works out in my opinion. Now, I am trying to work on Version 2 right now, so updates until then may not be very frequent. However, I will try to update both this spot and the Poll weekly to keep you guys in the loop. The three big things I'm working on right now (forum design, version 2, and that secret thing from a few weeks ago) each require a large amount of work on their own, so please be patient as I do so. Thank you.
