Hello? Is this thing on? 02 Feb, 2002, 11:46 / 11 comments


4 months, nearly to the day, but we're actually honestly back. We're not "Mini," we're not "Back From The Dead," we're full on crazy-bad-spelling-excessive-feature-bloat-user-account-hosted-network Mojo. Rejoice!

With the return of Mixnmojo comes a new big update to the site, and with that big update comes a couple big features we'd like to talk about:
  • MojoMessenger: After browsing for a bit you'll find that all email links have vanished from the site, both in the Comments pages and the news updates themselves. Where you used to see a mailto: link you'll instead see some crazy link within our site.

    The reason for this change is to cut down on spammers stealing email addresses from the site, and for all the fun that will inevitably ensue. Once you create an account and log in you can send and receive messages with other readers and news updaters on Mojo, either by knowing their username or by clicking on them when they post a comment.(at this point it would probably be a good idea to sign up to Mojo with the same user name as you use on the forums)

    The messages are all stored in an inbox on Mixnmojo, where you can read, reply, or forward the message to your email address. Never again will your email inbox get spammed because your email address appeared on the site.

  • Folder-Tab Navigation: We've added tabs at the top of every page to make it quicker to jump around on the site. Anyone who has already used our forums has seen them, but has probably been annoyed that they don't go anywhere. Well, mostly they still don't go anywhere, but thats going to change in the near future.

    As you can see, the "Features," "Community," and "Hints & Tips" tabs are still greyed out, but will be opening soon. It's pretty obvious what will be behind each of them. In the mean time you can browse the news archives by category by clicking on any of the titles directly below the tabs.

  • The Future: So with those 3 inactive tabs maybe we're not completely all here. We have 3 new feature stories up right now, available right above this post, but the complete archive back to Mixnmojo's opening (or as close as we can get) will be online in the coming days. Also we plan to finally offer walkthroughs and hints for LucasArts games right at the main site, as well as a place to feature and showcase the numerous sites that make up the Mojo community and Mojo Network.
Hopefully that was a sufficient filling-in on what's been going on and what's coming soon! From Spaff, DJG, Jake, Sarah, telarium, Metallus, Mercatfat, Narrative, Jamesh, Emma, Lemonhead and, erm, Webmonkey we send a huge thank you to everyone who has stuck around through all the insanity and ugly downtime. Thanks, it's great to be back!
