As some users may have noticed, the forum went under maintenance today. We apologize for the inconvenience.
As visible, the front page has changed a little bit - we got rid of sections that cluttered it. However, don't worry, as all posts are still available. We have done this in hopes of making the browsing experience easier for new users.
The rules have changed - but not massively. We are using a new rule applying system which has been shown to work in other forums, and it is much simpler as well. We got rid of the immense bureaucracy that was behind the scenes on the forum, which will allow the forum to evolve more properly.
Of course, our revamp is not finished yet, there are more things we will still implement - but the forum will not need to go under maintenance for that.
The sections explained in the spoiler below:
Expect more updates soon. Thank you for your time and patience!

The sections explained in the spoiler below:
Forum Suggestions & Information: The support section. You can provide feedback, suggestions, and ask questions, as well as read information you may find interesting and/or helpful.
Member Introductions: Where new members announce their arrival. You can also tell people you'll be absent in this section.
Off Topic: A place where people can talk about anything, play forum games, joke around, etc. A laid back section.
Entertainment: Where you can talk about movies, series, sports, books, games, etc.
Discussion: You can post news, debate, talk about life, ask or provide advice, or basically have any serious conversation.
Art: Here, you can show us your work - Pivot sticks, animations, and even non-Pivot works. Post your latest video, announce your upcoming project - anything!
Pivot Rankings: You can post here if you want to have your animation skills ranked. Other users can provide feedback as well!
Roleplaying: A section where users can roleplay as their own characters and create stories.
Pivot Chat: Where you can sell stks, offer files, pivs, etc, or even discuss Pivot. It differs from "Art" as it is more of a file sharing section (although you do not need to make your work free in this section at all).

Dinosaur Discussion: News, debates, any conversation related to dinosaurs.
Dinosaur Fights: Debate on the outcome of dinosaur fights in the case they happened.
