Welcome to this week's edition of the official ForumKorner News!
Unfortunately, due to my absence from the forum over the past two weeks, I
have been unable to publish the news. So, for this edition, I am doing the whole
thing on my own, and I have made arrangements to go to the library so that
I'd have access to a computer. So, let's get right into the news!
Over the past two weeks there has been a fair share of excitement
around the forum. Here is your update regarding the latest headlines surfacing
around ForumKorner!
Finally! - At last, we have gotten word regarding the development of the new
theme. Philly surprised us with updates, and so far, the new theme looks great, in
our opinion. There has been a mixed back of reviews regarding the new theme coming
to ForumKorner, some bad, but mostly positive. The new theme is being developed by
"Johnny S" from the theme development website Demonate. Johnny S, being the developer
of our beloved current theme, has loads of experience under his belt and we should be sure
that the new theme will come out great. The new theme includes a cleaner interface,
fitted with a new reputation system. It has been confirmed by Philly that this theme
with be dark themed. The theme has a blue accent to it similar to the current theme.
Narc - Our beloved admin Narc has changed his online alias to Mitchell, as
of November 7th. Narc has confirmed that this may or may not be permanent, as he is just
trying something new. He also mentioned that his secondary account is still "Narc", so he
obviously hasn't lost that alias forever. He changed his name to try something different.
In combination with the new name change, Narc has alerted us that his AIM account has
been compromised. He filed a community warning this morning, so remember not to deal
with the AIM username "Narc", until he has taken back access to the account (if he does,
of course)
Group News - Some groups have updated and have been revived recently.
Complexity has been revived by Abandon and Random, and with that comes there
group Complexity+. Immortals has updated their userbar, after their previous userbar had
been faulty recently, as in some cases not appearing and having a white background instead
of transparency. Myself, as well as many other members of the forums are fond of the new
userbar change, as the newer one is very clean and fresh looking on the forums.
Here are this week's breaking news articles coming from all
over the world. The world is changing non-stop, so enjoy your report of
this week's new conflict, headlines, and other topics.
Ebola - Martin Salia, surgeon, has died from the deadly West African virus
Ebola. Mr. Salia contracted the virus in Sierra Leone, where he was treating patients
that had the virus. He died Monday morning in an Omaha hospital designed for the
isolation and treatment of Ebola patients. Mr. Salia was given the experimental drug
ZMapp, as well as a plasma transplant from an Ebola survivor. When Mr. Salia arrived
in the Nebraska hospital he was already in a very late stage of having the virus, which
projects a very low chance of survival. In fact, when Mr. Salia arrived at the hospital,
he had no kidney function whatsoever, and was completely unresponsive. At the moment,
there are no known cases of the deadly virus in the United States to this date.
ISIS - A new video has been released from the Islamic terrorist organization ISIS
showing the beheading of an American hostage, Peter Kassig. Peter was an aid worker and
former Army Ranger. He was beheaded in Syria. Peter was only 26 at the time of his death,
and research has been done showing that Peter indeed attempted to fight his captors. It
was not ISIS's goal to convert Peter to a muslim; ISIS's intention was to merely kill a
Christian-following American.
Charles Manson - Serial killer Charles Manson is officially getting married, and it's to
a quite young, 26 year old woman. Charles Manson is 80 years old and is serving a life
sentence. He will not be eligible for parole until 2027, and it's very likely that he won't make it
until then. Manson's soon to be wife, Afton Elaine Burton, has received a marriage license
on November 7th.
