I've been wanting to implement something like this for a while now and finally it's here. When you go to The Den today you'll be able to see a new option in the main menu under 'The Community' called 'Recent Activity'. This will take you to a list of all activity on The Den. This list includes new submissions, commenting, and new users joining the site.
 

The last year has seen us lose a few staff members for varying reasons, and as a result the remaining staff members are stretched thin on their available time. Since the population of the site is only continuing to grow, this means we need to find more people willing to contribute their time to The Den.
 

I have finally gotten a chance to update the Drupal 7 core and many of the plugins that The Den uses on both the .ORG and .NET sites. This was over six months overdue as I haven't had my coding system available to me for some time. Everything is back up and running, however some changes may be noticed. Not all of the plugins stored their settings during the update. Most notably, the sharing buttons have lost their settings and are in odd locations on writings or not showing up at all. These are things I must fix over the coming week.

It's a dog-eat-cat world out there, as it should be. And it seems that in this battle, there wasn't room for birds or snakes. All four entries were stellar, so let's review. There was bad formatting all around, the smell of it filled the battlefield. In Vermithrax's nuclear tale, as well as in DesertRat's own littlest Hobo, we had felines that deserved a kick in the rump and a boot to the road. They could have been more evil, though, as cats are famous for. Things got a little feisty on Billy Mundane's Finicky, and lions were declawed.
