MF News 5/1/11 [Made By Wreck]

Hello and welcome to the third edition of MF News! It is currently 5/1/11, and I plan on making these every Sunday to help inform members of what is going on around the site and all of the sudden changes you have questions about or may see. We have the latest news of members and how well the site is doing. You can help me by sending information through PM's on what you think is worthy of being in these weekly threads. Lets start!

Member News​

There was recently a MOTM Competition! The results can be seen here. Phreak has well deserved it and is on his way to becoming a very valued and great member here on MF. Congratulations.

Roobik has been hosting Lottery results were members get ticket entries by donating points. The results of the Lottery can be seen in this thread. Zammyslave has won the Lottery and has received over 9,000+ points. I hope to see more of these as it seems out community gets more involved when we host competitions.

There are now over 25+ Premium members on MarketForums! You can see everyone who has purchased this upgrade here and can purchase this upgrade for yourself here. We hope to see many of our new members getting interested in buying Premium.

Me, Wreck, has been removed as lead of the GFX team and overall taken out. The reason has not yet been given to me yet, but I plan on updating this section of the thread when I'm told why I have been stripped of my position and totally removed from the group.

Breaking News!​

Osama bin Laden Killed by U.S. Strike!:

Osama bin Laden, hunted as the mastermind behind the worst-ever terrorist attack on U.S. soil, has been killed, sources told ABC News.

His death brings to an end a tumultuous life that saw bin Laden go from being the carefree son of a Saudi billionaire, to terrorist leader and the most wanted man in the world.

Bin Laden created and funded the al Qaeda terror network, which was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. The Saudi exile had been a man on the run since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan overthrew the ruling Taliban regime, which harbored bin Laden.

PS3 Owners Get A Little Treat!:

Notes handed out before a Sony press conference today (timed so conveniently at 1am EDT in the US, and noon on the Sunday of Golden Week in Japan) reveal that Sony plans to offer free downloads of unidentified "content," 30 days of free PlayStation Plus access to new and existing members, and 30 days of free Qriocity service. The paper also says that PSN service will be restored "soon." Two days ago, a PlayStation Blog Q&A post mentioned that the company was considering a "goodwill gesture" to PSN users (and sure, why not Qriocity users too) put out by the two-week outage.

Really great edition!
It was a great read. Keep up the good work and if you need any future help, let me know.

Disregard.

Sweet update man.
A lot of fishy things have been going on with the GFX group because they recently kicked me for no reason - I was one of the most contributing users on it and they kicked me o.0

Thanks for that even though your a little late

Is it every sunday or Monday?

Great edition and I loved the quality of information provided by you, however you may add that I've became a leader of the Support Team.

Nice work; I look forward to reading this each sunday.

Graphics Forum is going under a revamp. People not active in the GFX Section yet are in the group, will be removed lol.

Good news edition bro

Great news. Edit that two more sections added to the forum.

Market Discussion & Philosophy & Debates

Nice news mate, gives me a something to have a read of.

I assume this will be a weekly/monthly thing?

I will be doing these every weekend.
There might be a group soon for this.

Yes I know Crayo and LM was telling me about it.

Nice edition. Is there a News team or do you do it alone? Cause I would love to help in this.

I think Wreck does want some sort of a news team, PM him Joey
