I know extra steps are tedious, but it's pretty apparent that the forums aren't really that active. I'm super guilty myself as my first thread ever was today. 
Just wonder what new people might think if they come to the forums and see that the latest news was hundreds of days ago, and yet you guys are actively updating the game in the recent updates log we have access to up top.

Its probably a good idea. I'll post more updates on the forum in the future.
