Welcome to the first edition of Never's ForumKorner News. I will be keeping this up if you guys enjoy this. This will be the first edition, so if you'd like me to continue please let me know




This has been an exciting week for ForumKorner! Here is our headlines.


  • @Beware added to staff! Beware has been added to the staff team by Narc! We are all sure he'll do a great job
  • @Philly has decided that ForumKorner is done with Cloudflare CDN. We know this decision is for the best to stop attacks on FK.
  • New userbars announced! For the new theme, we will be upgrading our userbars! This was due to be done by 9/19, however due to unexpected maintenance regarding DDoS attacks this has been lengthened.
  • Advertisements are now visible to all ForumKorner members, upgraded or not.
  • Groups are now expected to have 1,000 posts in the subforums per month or the group will be deleted. Many groups are now on the market due to this rule.
  • FK is now on Instagram! Narc has gotten the Instagram @ForumKorner from @"Herb.". Contribute to ForumKorner and leave them a follow!




Here are the latest news coming from the real world!

  • First ebola patient dies. The Liberian man responsible for bringing Ebola to the United States has just died in a Texas hospital, shortly after possibly infecting up to 80 other people with the horrible virus.
  • Today, 19 people died in Turkey due to violent protests against ISIS, the violent "caliphate" committing what seems like a genocide.
  • 6.2 magnitude earthquake shakes (literally) the coast of Mexico. There is no immediate report of deaths or injury, however reports are still coming in.




This has been a busy week for FK! Here are our best threads from the week.





There's been some great achievements this week! Here are some of FK's latest milestones.

  • @Living has just achieved the most awards on ForumKorner. Congratulations!
  • @Never recently racked up 1,000+ reputation. Yes, I just did that.
  • @"Darth Vader" has just achieved 1,000 threads! Congratulations, buddy.
  • @"Nimrod" has just gotten 100+ reputation. Nice job!
  • @"Tennis" has just earned 100+ reputation. Congrats!
  • @"wall" has just earned 1,000 posts. Great work!
  • @"Divinitive" has just been upgraded to Onyx!




Here's this week's interview! Today, we're interviewing @Beware, FK's newest staff member.

Me:: Hey, Beware, how is life now that you are staff?
@Beware: It's been the same pretty much. I have a lot more responsibilities obviously but it's been good.
Me:: Awesome! Is it difficult keeping up with reports?
@Beware: Not really. Some people do false reports from time to time, but they learn from it.
Me: What was your reaction when Narc messaged you if you want to become staff?
@Beware: I was shaking quite a bit. I didn't know if he was joking or if he was serious.
Me: Well Beware, you've worked really hard to obtain this. Anything you want to say to the rest of FK?
@Beware: I'd like to thank all the members who have been supportive of my promotion. And don't worry, I won't let power get to my head.




@Philly @Narc Please tell me what you think.
My news committee is entirely separate from the official news.

Wow, It's not random bullshit.

Whatever, enjoy your unofficial little news thing.
 
Nice attempt but a news edition requires more effort. If you want @"Philly" or @"Narc" to see this, just PM them.

I liked the GFX though. Good job on those. But, you'll need some that work on a Dark Theme too.

Thanks. And the majority of the forum uses the dark theme so I just stuck with that.
 
Why is everyone bashing this guy about making a news thread? Well done sir, I thought this News thread was quite awesome, and I think you should make more.
 
Hey, people can bash you left and right, but at the end of the day I think this is a pretty great idea, and it certainly shows two things 1. Your dedication to the forum, I mean for christ sake you just did more than the whole Journalist Usergroup did. And 2. it shows how up to date you are throughout the forum's all the time.

I would certainly like to see more of these.
 
I hope to see more of these. Nice thread!

lol people are so damn picky. I hit 1000 posts not threads whoever was complaining. Thank you @Never for mentioning me in this.
 

I agree with the statement above. I can tell that a hell of a lot of time, dedication and effort went into not only the news itself, but also the graphics, layout and accuracy of it all. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of these. Keep it up!
 
thanks for the mention bro, road to 2k posts!
 
Great news story buddy. These niggas wouldn't even spend their time doing this so they should stop bashing. Wonderful read.
