This weekly update is a new thing that we're trying in order to help keep members informed in all the stuff that's going on. There will be a new update every Friday, and it'll include a variety of information that should pretty much give you a summary of things that happened throughout the week.

Highlights of the Week
Sunday: The HATPC Comp is started a day late, with the theme of "Random Word Comp 2"
Sunday: The official release of the revamped CaveList, which currently has 2635 names in it and is also the new Cave Grabber.
Sunday, June 14 2009, 9:36 pm EST: CSD's dignity was held hostage by terrorists, who in exchange demanded that Quirvy's secret caving account be un-blocked from the cavelist.
Monday: The Interguild tries to settle the issue democratically. The poll in that topic was originally a standoff between Quirvy, CSD, and Quirvy (yes he was on there twice, to even it out), and even though there were edits in the poll, the final result was 57% for CSD (or the terrorists) and 43% for Quirvy.
Monday: The terrorists demands were met when CSD cheated the name into the cavelist by using a glitch (now fixed). It was at this moment that Quirvy declared war against CSD and I. Quirvy began to "Americanize" CSD and "McCain-inize" me, while CSD launched a public awareness campaign to spread the word about Quirvy's secret cave account. As my counterattack, I permanently unblocked the account from the cavelist. It's still in there somewhere.......
Monday-Tuesday: An amazing breakthrough was made with the cavebot! I successfully made my cavebot run 100 threads at once, and after leaving it overnight, it was able to finish the entire range of Jaaaa -- J____ overnight!
Tuesday: A new member joins, called Buheanie. He starts posting questions about how to post his levels, but then he leaves forever at frustration. This case raises chilling questions about the site's ease of use, and it's further fueled when Shos asks a seemingly stupid question sometime afterward. Or maybe "they just need glasses", as I put it...
Wednesday: Results for All-Game Comp are finally released.
Wednesday-Thursday-Friday I attempt to play the competition entries for the All-Game comp, especially CSD's A Moment in Time - Level 3 .
Friday: My cavebot ran overnight and it found 69 new names for the cavelist. 0_o
Friday: It seems that discussion for the Interguild Olympics (to be started in July) have just about finished.
Friday Night: Staff is simplified to only one position. With that, shos and Jebby are kicked out of the staff for lack of necessity. Despite that Haily is still in there. But my suggestion to remove him may have been the cause to Haily's spontaneous appearance earlier today. This marked the end of the Mod-Power Abuse Era
Today: My karma is finally up to 0! Mean while, CSD's is almost up to twenty.

Latest Levels
So according to the level galleries there were 8 levels released last week, but I'll try and keep this section short....
Anyway last Sunday, Ckjr released his epic Slackin' in Free rider 2.
Also on the same day, Isa released Claustrophobia as an N level. It looks like I'm the only one who played it so far, and it looks really cool. It kinda reminds me of Blocks of Doom. I would've rated it, but I could only get to the third block without giving up. Anyway, if you haven't tried it, it really is worth a try.
Yaya also released his latest HATPC level Code Red, and so far this cave hasn't gotten many comments yet. I guess people think it's too hard, but he tells you how to beat the first room here:
'Yaya' said:
After you hit the up arrow, run over to the stack of metal crates on top of wooden crates. Break the crates so the arrow goes through the falling pile of crates. Now push that boulder so it's ontop of the platform from the start and a wait for a arrow to fall on it. Shoot the arrow and it should make boulders fall from the ceiling there should be 1 boulder avalible to push. Crush the spike to the right of you with it and move on.
Anyway, this cave looks really cool. Quirvy has started a campaign to get people to rate it because of how cool it is, but of course he won't rate it because he hasn't gotten far enough. On Tuesday, Quirvy put up a fixed version of his old cave Soul of Death, and on Wednesday, Dando released her latest HATPC cave There And Back Again. The amazing part about it is that Quirvy was actually able to beat it. And in six tries! Anyway it's really cool, and not that hard, so don't be so intimidated to try it.
And just yesterday, Quirvy released his competition entry for the Random Word Comp 2. For his word, he chose "canadianstick..." and the cave he made looks amazing (too bad HATPC won't show the whole map) and so far both CSD and Dando have rated it a 9.4

Videos
Only one video this week, and it's Quirvy's Guess the Cave! It's a pretty short parody of other Guess-the-Caves, and it's actually funny, even if it has no music.
Last night I tried to upload my latest video to Youtube. It was taking 5 hours so I left it running last night, but it got an error at the last second and failed, of course. But I have a plan B...

Some Plans
Like I said earlier, discussion for the Interguild Olympics are practically done. As of now it seems like it'll start on July 4th and maybe last around 7 weeks. But none of this is official yet. You can go to the discussion topic by clicking here, though.
Earlier this week, I also set up the site to work with video comps now. So expect us to have our first video competition during the Interguild Olympics.

I'm also currently adding something to our game system that will mark games that are offensive for younger audiences, and this feature will work with your account to help you set up settings on whether or not you want to block or warn you about games that are offensive.

Anyway, that's it for this week's update. It's pretty huge.

don't worry, you're not missing out on anything anymore. We deleted a ton of stuff in the mods forum and we're supposedly not using it that much anymore\

edit: whoa, you have access. didn't see that...
