In response to the influx of new members & ktt refugees, i wanted to point out some of our functionality so that s--- like this doesn't happen again and make me sad enough to check myself like cudi:

1.) Day/Night Theme Toggle

​

7.) The Portal 2.0

we've recently replaced the old Portal with a new, alternate version. the original Portal was more of a dashboard view of the forum, and it didn't really take off since we ended up integrating the og functionality from there throughout the rest of the site. Portal 2.0 is more of a blog-type view of what's currently poppin here. Automatically updates, and is where our www.sectioneighty.com base url directs to today. some visual updates are needed here...soon
