First of all is the new absence feature, requested by roleplayers but is useful for everyone. In Profile under 'Profile Information' are 3 new sections. Here you can select whether you are absent or not,, why you are absent (holiday, ill etc) and write a custom absent message. While you are absent an absent button will be displayed in your profile and in your posts alerting people that you are away. If someone tries to PM you while you are absent they will receive your custom absent message. For your convenience while you are set as absent you'll receive a pop-up message on your return giving you the option to turn off your absent message straight away rather than by manually going back into your profile.
By popular vote Homework Help has been deleted and replaced with a suggested general help/knowledge forum called Knowledge base. Here you can ask all sorts of questions and hopefully someone will know the answer and be able to help you!
The forum header has received a slight update as there are now easily accessible buttons to different parts of The Pika Club, the main website (still under construction), the oekaki and the topsite list (coming soon)
Things still to come:
- Serious roleplaying
- Better Pokémon Diamond/Pearl integration
