These new features are expected to be released Real Soon Now as they are being implemented during the developers' copious free time.

We'll get those after Havok is upgraded.

The nuber of groups seem to have exloded over the years as everyone seems to have one just so they can set the title in there chat bubble.

OT:
as far as 29A, 666, 1232, 1110011010 , XIXI(?)... It's A MYTH!
The original number is wrong since roman numerials don't work that way. The numbers adding up to 666 spell "Caesar".

Actually it's just the end of an era acording to the Mayans, when one calandar ends and another starts. basicaly just another day that ends with the letter Y

Based on what I read it was an end of an Epoch, and this(the one we are in that is ending) is supposedly the last one. The last one, according to the Mayan's, was the great diluge. This is supported by other religions/cultures, over 600 flood myths only 90 of which are Judeo-Christian in origin. This one supposedly ends in fire, which Revelations seem to describe decently clearly (always sounded like a comet strike to me). They also seemed to think time was cyclical so who knows. But either way they didnt feel the need for a calander past that point. :) For this and more, read Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock. The Mahabarata/Ramana (sp?) (the indian (not native-american) national epic) he mentions is also fascinating reading, the texts of which are available on the net.

Moral of story, everyone get your bunkers and bomb shelters PRIOR to the christmas season of '12 ;)

But I digress, I too wonder why so difficult to get this stuff implimented.

My Current Project (except while I'm gridmonkey this week) is working on the Group Roles project. (Don't worry I'm not working alone on it, I'm not even the lead on the project). The increase in number of allowed groups (to 25), decrease in required people in a group (to 2) and Group Notices will go out with Group Roles. This will go out sometime after 1.9.1, but other than that no ETA.

Hows that for a tease? :)

Ok, how about an ETA on 1.9.1?

The amount of stuff going into 1.9.1 seems like it's should be a major release not a minor one (and i'm dieing to know if it will be 2.0.0 or 1.10.0 :p)

Yeah. It is a bit of a red letter day given that the universe and this plane of existence...ceases to do so. Put it in your diary anyway, k?

Apocalypse predictions for 2006 (sadly we seemed to have missed the February 12 one :-)
From: someone

2006

* An atomic holocaust started by Syria is to take place between the years 2000 and 2006, according to Michael Drosnin's book The Bible Codes (O'Shea p.178). Here's an excerpt from Drosnin's discredited book: "I checked 'World War' and 'atomic holocaust' against all three ways to write each Hebrew year for the next 120 years. Out of 360 possible matches for each of the two expressions, only two years matched both - 5760 and 5766, in the modern calendar the years 2000 and 2006. Rips later checked the statistics for the matches of 'World War' and 'atomic holocaust' with those two years and agreed that the results were 'exceptional.'"
* The British cult The Family believes the end will come in 2006.

Feb 12, 2006 According to an unnamed Internet prophet, this will be the date of the height of the Antichrist's power. The Antichrist is none other than Prince William of England! (This guy's website breaks an inordinate number of web design taboos. Prepare to be annoyed!)


On the above webpage, you can find more predictions for 2007, 2008, etc, including the one Kris referenced:

From: someone
Dec 21, 2012 Terence McKenna combines Mayan chronology with a New Age pseudoscience called Novelty Theory to conclude that the collision an asteroid or some "trans-dimensional object" with the Earth, or alien contact, or a solar explosion, or the transformation of the Milky Way into a quasar, or some other "ultranovel" event will occur on this day. Anyway, something is supposed to happen, and he has lots of pseudoscientific gobbledygook to back up his thesis.

No, it's 2011.
HA!
The date, Dec 21 (or 12, or 11, or even October) 2011 was so close to 2012 that it go crculated as "the world will end in 2012." Then people did digging for an exact date and foudn Decemer 21st. They just tacked the two together.

And it isn't the end of the world, or even the end of an Age (Epoch). It's the start of the NEXT age.

If a new age is starting, doesnt that mean that this one ends?

Well if thats the case then it could mean czar or Kaiser since both derived from Caesar

They could overlap, or there could be commercials in between epochs.

Can't run the reality engine without paying some bills.

This post is ironic with christianity and the first post asking how soon is soon. Christ said he'd be back soon. Now thats a *soon* thats a tease! So sorry dude but *soon* is anything more than 1,950 or so years. ( real birth date AD 06 - aprox 46 years old) I'll check back to this post soon.
