August 14, 2010:
Crash - Time traveled back to August 12. More details to come.
This is a notice of another zero tolerance crackdown on users being hateful to members around them for no real reason. This is not okay. If you are to be a member here - you are to abide by the rules and treat everyone around you with respect. Anything short of that could result in an infraction or a ban - either temporary or permanent. It will not be tolerated. Especially not if seen by me.
Please remember to report users who are in need of an adjustment by using the "report post" button. Mods can't be everywhere and do not see everything. We will be adding more moderators in the coming weeks.
Thanks,
Phases

Application Review forum is now open! To create threads in here and have a chance at winning a new phone of your choice EVERY DAY for at least a week, see the contest announcement on Phandroid for details - exclusive to AF members! This is to celebrate the newest (beta) addition to AF, which now resides in the "Apps" tab in the NavBar.
Other Android Devices category created (Under Phones), with forums for Google TV, Tablets and MIDs, and an "Other" to hold us over for now. Will add more as needed.
Added all things root subforums for EVO and Backflip.

Phases is back, part time. Most active here early morning, will taper off into afternoon.
May 3, 2010
Until further notice, Phases will not be able to communicate on the forums due to massive flooding in his area. He has no internet access right now, so all problems should be forwarded to shivers316.
Changed Classifieds section from 25 post count minimum to 0 post count minimum. Created Non-Android classifieds subforum. This *does* require 25 post count.

Feb 12, 2010
Rebuilt post count of users after making "Forum Games" our first "does not add to post count" forum. You may notice a slightly less post count on your profile.
Removed ability to put images in signature, dropped PM inbox down to 50 (the few that were over will need to delete or download PMs to continue to send/recieve), and altered a few other things. This is in preparation of the upcoming premium member usergroup - which will be explained in more detail Monday.
The mistreatment of fellow members around here needs to stop. People come here for help, not to be ridiculed by snobby regulars. Members are encouraged to report posts/threads when you see this happening. Mods are to start dishing out infractions and bans accordingly.
FAQ forum is finally open! Still under construction, feel free to contribute faq or questions you would like see answered them! You can't post threads there, but you can reply to the posts with suggestions and shoes will handle it.

Finished doing cleanup of the forums to move posts where they belong.

In the future please make your posts in the appropriate forums. Thanks!
