Well the upgrade has been completed and the site runs better than ever. All useful mods were installed without a problem. I added support for the original style plus two others. The proSilver style is working fine. The aktif style works fine but needs some graphics fine tuning. We have also added a very nice Sudoku game mod that I am sure all sudoku fans will love and a fun Hangman game. In all it was well worth the time it took me to do.
I have also hired on a new Community Leader. He is basically a head moderator but with extra duties. He will work on hiring some new faces to the forum to help out and as the community grows and the need arises he will create new groups or bring in new moderators or whatever the site may need. We are getting a lot more traffic as of late so I see a very nice future in store for our forum.
The main site itself Empire of Shadows will be expanding in the next few months as well. I will save more of those details for a later post though as I work them all out

Well it has been a while since we have been here. Since before the “big crash”. I have decided to bring our news back here and talk about some of our expansions since last we were here.
Well now lets get down to a quick report of whats going on. Our forum seems to be doing good at the moment. Many visitors a day and the sign ups come at a rate of 1-2 every 2 or 3 days. We are still working on turning all those sign ups into active posters but we still do ok with activity. I think the thing is to get people to realize just how diverse the forum is and get them participating. That’s why I have come up with several contests the past few months. They may have relatively small prizes ($5 – $15) usually but they can still be fun none the less. A bit more on those later
Now the mother site Empire of Shadows is still in the concept phase really. I of course want to try to keep it in theme with the forum. Mainly gaming but I would also like to incorporate the Technology subject into that. Being Software, Hardware, and technology in general. This all really remains to be seen as to how it will develop.
Empire Hostings is really a dream come true of mine. It’s a small business but its mine none the less. It could be considered a hobby but one I plan to stick with for a long time to come. I want our hosting to be a place that the “noobs” can feel comfortable. Those who have 0 experience but want to begin their own “presence on the web”. Also for a small hosting company I feel our prices are very cheap.
Well that’s a quick summary to date of where things stand with the Empire of Shadows site and its “children” you may call them. Its probably odd to have the children up and running before the parent hehe. If your interested in any way we hope to see you at our forum or setting up your hosting with us.
