<!-- ==The 'Shroom: Forum Update (Pipe Plaza)== (introduction goes here blahblahblah) So yes, welcome to the first Forum Update since the big summer issue in June, this time with a new writer can't you read

Ahem.

So anyways, I guess I'll just shut up here and get to the good stuff, since everyone who reads this section JUST WANTS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON THE FRIGGIN FORUM AND NOT READ AN INTRO WRITTEN BY A GUY WHO HAS HIS OWN ARTICLE

Ahem.

Top Stories So yeah, a lot of things (obviously) have happened since the last Forum Update.

Two changes to the forum staff: Super Mario Bros. after stepping down in March (ignore that n00bish thread I made back then), returned to his Global Moderator position. Also, Rei Hino resigned from his mod position.

Rosy the Rascal was banned again, and this time permanently, for continuously making off-topic posts despite warnings and previous temp bans.

Tree Fiddy was banned for ten days on September 3rd for trolling. His ban expired on the 13th.

Speedy Yoshi was banned for dragging drama to the forum and trolling, his ban expired on October 27th.

Unknown Entity (does he have an account here?) was banned for two weeks on October 23rd for repeatedly creating threads to try and provoke negative reactions from users.

Christian Brutal Sniper was banned permanently on October 26th for his extremely long record for causing trouble.

MC Ballyhoo ( was banned for a month after making disruptive posts on December 18, then permabanned soon after it expired for doing the same thing.

Eresth100 was banned for two weeks on January 19 for several violations of Rule 11 (posting/discussing inappropriate content)

In terms of added features, a new tab marked "Rules" was added around June, thanks to...wait no, I'm not going to say it... :x

Several changes were made to the forum in early September; the "spoiler" buttons were slightly revamped, and a new mobile version was added.

Forum Games

As many of you know, the latest buzz on the boards this summer was Awards Mafia II (running from mid-July to August) which ended with the Mafia claiming victory. As in any Awards game, tokens were awarded to all members of the winning faction.

Because nearly everyone was focusing on Awards Mafia, other games yet to begin or in progress were put on hold or even cancelled, as was the case with Ogmo ('s Volcano Mafia.

The only Mafias active during the Awards Game was cryoAwakening 's Homestuck Mafia, which recently ended with victory belonging to The Felt faction. Also, Legendary Pokemon Mafia, hosted by Cirdec was also going, but slower than usual. After Awards Mafia however, games began to start back up. NSY ('s Jungle Mafia started in late August, and is currently up and running. Other games with this status include Nene Amano ({User|Smg2daisy}})'s "Mafia of Me", and Toad's Mafia, hosted by 85 . Both games started in mid-September.

And Rocker Mafia 2,hosted by Kimberly Hart (aka. Rocker64, who has never yet strayed outside the forum boundaries to venture onto wiki grounds) kicked off October. (Or should I say "kicked off in October", because it started at the beginning of the month no wait I'm confused here)

The Mafia won Cirdec 's Legendary Pokemon Mafia.

Dragon Mafia, hosted by Dracomon and WarioWare Mafia, hosted by Zero ({{user|GBAToad) are currently ongoing.

In terms of other forum games, UTDWT (User Total Drama World Tour) hosted by BMB, came back a for third time due to high ratings. I played actually gave it a shot, but ended up falling out of a plane (enough said).

New Super Mario ({{user|New Super Mario}} is still hosting User Survivor, which has been running since May. NSM also ran a game called User Whodonnit, but had to cancel due to many players dropping out after Day 1. Starting sometime in the next few months, he will also host User Jeopardy.

Everyone's favorite smiley ({{user|Smasher}})'s User Big Brother 5 is still ongoing.

And Reversinator ({{user|Time Turner}}) set up another User Quiz game (Will it be extremely long like the last one?), but its status is unknown due to him leaving the community (which no one knows if he's really left for good).
