Well, I'm sure some of you are wondering whats in store for Promedia, and I'm here to tell you! I decided to give you some of the things we plan on having within the next month or two so that you have something to look forward to. 
Member of the Month
That's right! Starting October first, We will be having Member of the month. This will be voted upon by staff members each month, and the winner will not only get bragging rights, but also an award signature and some Points!
Wait. Did you say Points?!
Yes, Yes I did. We are currently in the planning of bringing back ProMedia Points. These points will not only be gained by posting, but also through contests, events, awards, and more! Although prizes are not finalized, you can look forward to exchanging your points in for prizes such as advertising, graphics, custom titles, name effects, and more!
Awards
So people have been asking me about the awards. Well, here are some details. Every contest will have awards given out and some of these awards will be worth points(which will be rewarded upon receiving the award). Each Member who has awards will have their own thread in the awards board showing all the awards they have won. To start off the awards, we will have a vote based awards ceremony. The awards all ready and ready to get voted on, but first we must wait for a certain ranks contest to conclude.
Awards are still being planned and developed, so things may be added. 
New Ranks
The ranks contest shall soon be ending, and we will choose our new ranks. All participants who have had ranks chosen from their list will receive a custom title of their choice. The participant who has the most used ranks will receive the award for the ranks contest(which will be worth points when we release PM Points). There is still time to enter though!
Database(s)
We are going to be starting an Artist Database for our music board. Its going to be a community project to see how many artists we can index. It will also serve as a resource for anyone looking for new artists. It will be indexed in a database that will allow you to search by letter or genre, or to use a search box. If that goes well, we will make a "Games Database" and a "Movies Database".
Top 10 Music Chart
Speaking of the music board, We are considering having a top 10 music chart. I have made a thread for feedback in the music board. Go check it out!
Staff Changes
We will be hiring new staff and making some promotions within the next week or two. You can look forward to that.
Promedia Category Board Makeovers
I am currently asking for feedback in threads in the boards contained within the promedia category. I am looking to do a makeover of all these boards to make them all unique and to have relevant and useful content. Please give your feedback and tell me what YOU would like to see!
Quick Tip Box
I am going to be implementing a "Quick Tip Box" in the Intro board to help new members around promedia. This will include quick links, tips, and hints. It will show one tip at a time and rotate tips as you click a next button.
Unique Board Content
If you haven't noticed, I have been trying to add unique content to each board. My goal is to have every board with some sort of its own unique content, giving each board its own identity and giving everybody something to do with different interests in mind.
Finally done.
Ugh. This took me forever to write. lol xD I hope you guys look forward to this stuff. I know I am.
