New features

Since the forums are picking up some steam, we decided to make it possible for forum posts to automatically get promoted to the home page. So now the home page has the most highly voted stories and forum posts from the last several days.

The events feature is live now. You add new events the same way you add other new content. Please post only conventions for now though. After you've posted the event, it appears at the bottom of the left column with a countdown timer. If there are 5 other events that will happen first though, your event will only appear on the event calendar.

It wasn't until I was looking for a component to enable blogs that I realized that the software we use to build the site already had a blog module in the core components. So I enabled it, tweaked some of the settings, and here we are.
