UW93 Under Construction While Online

As everyone might have noticed by now, UW93 is undergoing a slow change of direction and setup.

As a result, UW93 will be going through a few changes as follows:

• - Skin/Layout/Color Adjustments (on the Forum and on the Site)
• - Forum clean-up (archiving) and readjusting of the Forum categories of Forums
• - Directional shift (Mods and Admins will be going through discussion on the direction of UW93 and what it will become.)

At this time, the timeline for these updates and changes are indefinite until UW93 staff holds discussion on the topic.
