User blog:DeadRaiser/Announcements and Featured Article Changes

Hey everyone here, I have some announcements.

New User
To start off I would like to welcome our newest user: HashtagTheDead!

HashtagTheDead is one of my IRL friends that I invited on to the wiki. After showing him some pages in school and seeing how it was interested in making custom zombies maps, I thought it would be nice to invite him to the wiki. I'm glad that he did join the wiki and I can't wait to see some ideas he has in store for us in the future!

School and IRL Matters
I know right now that school's being a bitch to all of us. I also know that IRL matters are bothering us too. So, it isn't a surprise when the wiki gets hit with so much inactivity. However, with the school year being almost over, I hope to see a rise in activity and hope that the wiki gets back on its feet once again.

As of now, this month looks like it might be a pretty active one. Not the most active, but more so than previous months.

Other News
Well some of us are preparing for Call of Duty: Ghosts (myself not included) and our expectations are high for this one.

Mod of the Dead really feels more like the Zombies maps from WaW, both in the style of gameplay and easter eggs.

Featured Article Changes
After having the same, single, featured article format up for over a year, I thought that it would be best to bring back an older, more elaborate, yet more diverse format. The way it is run is that there will be multiple features of different categories, with multiple items competing in those categories. Once the features have been selected, they will compete to be called "Article of the Month."

So here's the categories: So here's how it's going to be. I am going to start making templates for all of these and have them ready for next months polls (I'm not going to change it now, don't worry xD)
 * 1) Featured Weapon (Conventional Firearm/Melee Weapons)
 * 2) Featured Wonder Weapon
 * 3) Featured Map
