2023-04-17 We hang out on Discord now https://discord.gg/ZmrFAZXbyw 2018-01-26 We are no longer maintaining an official IRC presence but welcome you to reach out to schedule chats. Find us at #harpgamer on the FreeNode IRC network Web-based Chat

I've modified the forum source code to show all members that belong to a particular group (when at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?act=Members). I for instance am part of not only the Staff Pukes group, but also HCBeta (and others), previously the filter by group would only show me in the listing for Staff Pukes, now it will show me in the listing for any of the groups that I am part of. Makes the searches much easier. That said, any official update to the forum software may overwrite my change so holler if it disappears and you want it back.

Brad has created and given good start to a section of web links to some of the Harpoon related Blogs out there. Find them at: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...DE=02&cat=5

Tony has whipped up a subforum for the Current Events forum called "Raw Intel" which will import RSS feeds from select websites and blogs. Take a look here at what our HG S2 (intel officer) is digging up.

Please take the poll at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=17152 and respond in more depth if you have the inclination. Thank you!

Some of you will have heard already, but for those who have not, I am very sorry to advise that Darren Buckley (HUD3 on this forum and Bucks on the Matrix forums) passed away unexpectedly this past week. We will probably put up a thread elsewhere here for folks to express their condolences.

Seven new scenarios have been released for Harpoon Classic Commander's Edition: Constant Glance - EC2003 MEDC Last Stan - EC2003 IOPG Thirst for Victory - Westpac Stage Fright - Part Two - EC2003 IOPG Storsjoodjuret - EC2003 GIUK My Pet Dragon - Westpac Blame it on the Kellys - Westpac Grab them at the HC Scen/AAR page. Enjoy.

We're very sorry if anyone ran into the site the last 10 hours when I was away and the site home page was hijacked. I'll be doing more forensic work later in the day but all of the related passwords have been changed so if it was a brute force password attack the perpetrators should be slowed down.

Tonight I managed to require that the human-ness question be answered correctly for new users to complete their registration, the previous requirement was any answer at all. Occasionally a spambot does answer correctly but they are few and far between. I don't think any of the 40+ spambots that have flooded the forum since the beginning of 2011 answered the question correctly. Thank you to those who have reported spambot postings, hopefully they will now be slowed down again. I'll add a second human-ness question if need be.

As announced by Matrix:
