With two RPGs now open on Dystopia Productions and currently four more in production this weekend was the first step in what will hopefully be building Dystopia Productions into a strong RP host with a solid members base and an presence in the RP community at large. To help accomplish this there will be many new additions coming to Dyspro over the next few weeks, I'll list a few of them now.

++ Some changes to the homepage adding a new area where your personal user stats will be shown accross all RPGs as well as some site wide affiliates.
++ A new area as a community hub, including complete user stats and rankings. This area will also host updates from all our RPGs in one place as well as articles and blog posts by the staff.
++ A member database with a frontend and a backend (frontend will be searchable, allow you to browse other roleplayers active here on Dyspro. The backend will allow you to customize your own profile.

That's just a few of the things I'm working on. I also think it's important to have a strong community presence here, so aside from just RPing I would like to ask you all to start chatting on these forums, make it inviting for new people.

I actually have a question regarding these forums.
Is there a way for it to remember your post settings (i.e. font type, font size, color, etc) so you don't have to set it every time?

There is not, they are pretty light on functions like that, but they allow HTML, which for our RPGs is pretty much a must. I will say one thing, I'm attempting to start coding in some stuff too them (like a postable dice roll that you see on other forums) Not promising anything but it might be something I can do with them one day.

As John said, staff members (I) will be writing some articles and such about in-dev RPGs, released RPGs, roleplaying/creative writing in general, and maybe some general pop culture stuff if it's worthy of discussion. In any case, it's gonna be cool. So yeah, stayed and keep role-playing, and as always, invite anyone you know that may be interested in what we're doing here. But more than anything, I just want to thank you all on my and John and Griff's behalf for your time and support. We love you all and look forward to seeing you as we continue to grow from this early stage. Thanks again!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Also, most of these edits and additions are going to take place over the week of the 4th of July, when I'll have some time off work and be able to put a lot of time into coding.

Oh snap! It's SAM! lol. Yes it is, it's going to take a lot of hard work to get this place kicking that MSN Groups but if lots of people pitch in and stick with it through the tough times than we'll make it. Once I get the new sections completed and we start getting some community articles and stuff going, news about our 4 projects in productions and all that I'll likely start looking for some more community managers. Fevian is going to be in charge of this, so it'll really be his say but I think we'd do best to have a couple people doing things like that.

You were always great at community stuff, I'm sure we can use your help. I mean we can use everyone's help, but especially yours.

Sending threats to Microsoft and making them give us their old MSN groups files/framework/etc? >D

I don't think they'll listen. In any case it's not the framework I miss, it's the community around it.
