RoboCommunity Team — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 05:01:20 GMT

You might have noticed... RoboCommunity has been completely redesigned, and relaunched to bring you all the latest fun and useful features Capable Networks' online community platform has to offer. From the new private messaging system to a powerful new browse page to a groups feature where you can share common interests to an exciting members page where you meet more members of the community... We certainly hope you enjoy the new features and functionality. Also, keep in mind that these kinds of major migrations require a bit of time to work through. So, if you see missing forum posts, or something is in a weird place, just let us know. We're working through these things to get everything back to 100% as quickly as possible. So, take a look around, and give us feedback . We'd love to hear from you. And in the meantim, enjoy the new and improved RoboCommunity!
