Critical Thinker's Club

I have finally gotten around to adding the "Critical Thinker's Club." This is a backstage group club intended for the moderators, admns, and select VIPs to discuss issues we don't want the rest of the world to see. This group is available to Nexus VIPs with 100 posts or more, and have no infractions for 1 year. If you qualify, send me a PM and I'll send you a short application to join the club. Basically it's a 20 question (non personal) PM I send you to get an idea if you are right for the cl...

Geseric is now a Nexus VIP, and will be the last VIP in the 20 post system. Due to the high number of spammers trying to register, post, and of course spam; I have now changed the rules to where you must have 100 posts (rank Yesod) before you can be considered for VIP status. The fastest way to get this on these boards is to game on the Nexus Point board. Send me, or Kodai, a private message to request Nexus Gamer status in order to play on that board if you so choose. The time required f...

This is a heads up to potential new users. As spammers continue to bombard this forum I have increased the security and registration requirements. Since Kodai has finally allowed it, I have made this forum a "Members Only" forum that can be viewed but not joined without my approval. Therefore, starting today, all new memberships will be moderated by Kodai, LadyWarrior, Nikki, myself or other Moderators and Super-Moderators. I'm sick of having to spend more time cleaning up this forum then wo...

I'm promoting this article to the front page because new users seem to not be reading it. I knew this was going to come to this eventually. Spamming this site is not permitted. I've had enough of it. I don't care if it's in your sig or not. If you don't come here to contribute to the community by posting legitimate topics and actually engaging in discussion then I'm going to ban your IP. Also, I see that multiple users here have the same IP. That would be okay if you don't abuse it by posting ...

I have changed the ranking system to match a more Kabbalistic feel rather than the old Roman military rank system. The new ranks are as follows: 1) Malchut (Initiate of the Kingdom) 2) Yesod (Foundational Acolyte) 3) Hod (acknowledged Novice) 4) Netzach (Victorious Apprentice) 5) Tiferet (Beautiful Disciple) 6) Gevurah (Mighty Zealot) 7) Chesed (Loving Adherent) 8) Da'at (Knowledgeable Observer) 9) Binah (Understanding Docent) 10) Chockmah (Wise Master) 11) Keter (Crown Journeyman) 12) Kabbalis...

It's now January 2012, and we're still here. The behind the scenes work around here has been going on for nearly a full year. The compedium, role playing game, and forum have been undergoing continuous upgrade over that period of time. I hope to have the new CSS for the Compendium completed by March or April. The Mecha Manual will also be done around that time. Afterwards, I'll be starting the complete redo fo Kodai's Role Playing Game system. He, Proud Proletarian, and I have been working on streamli...

Today I just finished the Science Fiction template for the Nexus boards. The header image is from hubble and is the horsehead nebula in the constellation of Orion. The new "darker" scheme is meant to be easier on the eyes and give the boards a more SF feel. The orignal Nexus 1 template is still available if you prefer it. Just go down to the bottom left of the board and click on the drop down menu. Select Nexus One and the site will go back to it's original "purple" format. I hope everyone ...

This is an annoucement of a user promotion to moderator status.
LadyWarrior has been here at Nexus Arcana boards since August of 2011 and thus after a year without infraction, and for her consistant contribution to these boards, I have promoted her to full moderator status.

Please be advised that she now has the power to BAN users, make back-stage adjustments, and okay moderated posts and blogs.
