[11/06/2002]   Hello, all! This week marks the return of progress not only in the not-terribly-shabby U.S. of A. but also here at Points of View and RPGamer in general. Let me be the first to say that we've all heard plenty on the elections and skip straight ahead to PoV goings-on. Namely, our new archives are about 2/3rds of the way done.

They've been thoroughly bug-tested and had numerous handy features added as I've slaved long, hard hours in the behind-the-scenes control room at RPGamer HQ (a smallish public library on Fernobulax) with Foxworth, who was recently assigned the gruesome task of further automating all of the various interaction sections of the site (e.g. Fan Fiction, PoV, RPGuides, etc.). Well... He nearly met his match with all my labor intensive demands, but at last the sun broke through and we got the system that will make our jobs your surfing easier. At any rate, I've stolen the floor for long enough, so get in there and bug-test our archive system while you've got the chance.

   Before everyone cries out that the new archive isn't finished, let me just say... The new archive isn't finished. It is however much more complete and legible than the older ones, so for this update only, there will be a link to both archive systems. Starting next week, however, you can kiss the old ones goodbye, and praise the Elder Gods, hallelujah! As to the new ones, by all means let us know what you think. Any problems you encounter should be sent, post-haste, to Foxworth.

Amish: Special thanks to Dave Willis for his review on Grandia Xtreme, one game off the reviewless list - and welcome to the site. Phillipe continues his usual run, and as a special request from the staff at Points of View, I'd like to make a request for reviews on Jade Cocoon titles - it's a series we haven't seen much from. Have at it, and see you later.
