As some keen eyes may have already noticed, Guild Wars Guru received official status today (hence the spiffy emblem bellow the menu). Official news of the status change is posted on the community news page.
This is but the first of only three stops that this train is going to make... the next is Elite, and after that, the oft-rumored but never truly realized level of Mecha-King Ghidorah Elite.
However, we wouldn't have made it this far if not for the thriving and excellent community that has sprung up around this site. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that everyone that makes up our forums is one of the biggest driving forces that pushes us forward. Whether it is pointing out the things that people need or want, that we can use to better the site, or by actively contributing of their own time and effort to help us, the community is the living soul of a site ... without it, we would only be a hollow collection of data.
So, y'know, celebrate a little, we've all earned this. Everybody Wang Chung tonight!
Congrats to the people who set this place up and the community that keeps it going.
I'd suggest moving the symbol higher up on the page so you can see it right away. When I load up the front page I have to scroll down to see it. It's petty, but putting it near the top would be a nice way to show off the shiny new badge.
Oh me oh my, you've even knocked The Guild Hall down a peg. I suggest we celebrate. Celebrate with fire! We could build a fort out of our Collector's Edition boxes and throw angry kittens at passers-by, then we can play cricket and drink tea on the veranda. Verandas rock my face. Oh, congratulations, too.
