CMS Homepage: Here you will soon be able to read boxing/mma related blog entries and articles which will be split into various categories.

Chat/Shout Box: You will notice a new little chatbox up at the top of the forum. This is great for anyone that wants to chat with other members in real time.

Vbookie: Members will now be able to wager on boxing/mma events to earn more VCash. We'll probably start a league so that the person with the most cash at the end wins a big prize.

Arcade: Unfortunately, the old arcade scores could not be salvaged. Therefore, the arcade had to be reset. A new game library should be up by Wednesday, March 10, 2010.

Blogs: Members will soon have the ability to blog within the community.

A few more features will soon be added. Suggestions are always welcome.
