Forums, new dashboard

ok, we have some experimental forums live. I know I know I reinvented this wheel and it's somewhat octagonal and has no suspension, however it does integrate well with our main application and we have plans to integrate other aspects further as well.

It's not really central to the business plan but at the very least we needed somewhere we could get users to engage with each other - the feedback system has been really good but that's very much a 1-to-us thing.

We also have a modified dashboard, including a "buzz" slot where we can push some 1-liner announcements, and I've removed a lot of the stats stuff and put more explanation in on some things. The main reasoning behind the buzz slot is that we're changing things so rapidly that we really need a good way of keeping people in the loop.

The removal of the stats was..well, that's just more appropriate for the statistics section anyway, it was taking up space. I'm not so sure about taking away the balance (it's on every page in the top right anyway), but I couldn't figure out a good way of keeping it in play without it looking out of place, so I took the hint. We can always put it back somewhere :)

Go play on the forum!

Summary of the stats in the dashboard looks good.

Nice to see a forum section. it could probably evolve into a marketplace for network members to trade their credits.

And thanks for upping the limit of card dropping.

Even though members might just briefly visit the blogs to drop the cards, they might discover some interesting blogs. Personally for me through these brief visiting (my main purpose is to drop cards), i've chance upon few blogs that really interest me which i never know in the past and makes me start visiting them often .
