Just to inform you what's new around SZ. Some of these aren't necessarily new and can often be found in the announcement table, but I figured it'd be helpful to bring these things up to everyone's attention.

• Hangman Challenge #1 is still going on. The contest itself is fairly self explanatory: it's hangman and it's addictive.

• SZ Contest Winner Sig...Contest -- we all want recognition for winning these things, and the best way to do so is through large, flashy, overly obnoxious signatures. Submit your entry and the Studio will use your work as a template for all future contests.

• Name the Game, vol. 2 is up. A reboot to the original Name the Game which overflowed to almost 150 rounds. You can now win SZ points by participating through trading in NtG points. Details inside.

• Caption Contests -- one isn't currently up at the moment, but they're still going and with good reason. With a selection of prizes and points to choose from, if you have something funny to say, say it dammit!

• Achievements -- coming soon. Similar to Xbox Live, you'll soon be able to get points for posting tasks around the Studio. We're looking forward to this so be on the lookout when we get it set up.

• Points -- not everyone's been cashing in their points yet, and we think it's due to some confusion. A new points thread will be up explaining what you can get and how you can get it through the point system.

• Advertising -- the community made an extravaganza of sigs while this place was closed, but I get the feeling that not many of them were actually used. We'd appreciate any form of advertising on other places you visit: a link, a sig image, whatever works really. It's necessary to get the word out.

• Questions/Comments/Suggestions -- The release of a brand new skin doesn't mean we're done completely. If you have ideas to fix up the place, graphical, coding, contests, whatever, give a shout out and share them.

That about sums it up for now.
