Quality-of-life and usability updates went live today.

• Launched a new ad management workflow so admins can create and manage banner ads from the site interface, including image upload, destination URL, expiration date, active status, and display weight.
• Improved ad click behavior: MudVerse links now open in the same window, while external links open in a new tab.
• Refreshed the homepage updates section into a compact, click-through carousel so recent changes are easier to browse without taking up extra page space.
• Fixed the review form character countdown so it updates correctly while typing and pasting.

• Added additional harddrive space to prevent issues, as the MSSP crawler is racking up a few gigs of space.
• Investigated a few games that may have been botting, and requested they stop.

If I find a game botting or using proxies to pump up votes, I'm going to warn you and delete the votes. If it keeps happening, I will remove the game from the site. This is a hobby project, and I have no interest in creating increasingly difficult systems to prevent this. If you want more eyes on your game, ads on the site have stayed at $10/month since 2007 and they support a good cause.
