Happy Labor Day!
I've reset the test site. I've made some changes to the messaging and logs, and a reset was needed to get everything working properly. Sorry. Frankly you guys should be surprised we went this long without one! (I've been busy in RL and haven't been able to put in the time I'd like to have:().
I always like to keep a few changes out of the Countdown thread so there's still a few surprises. I know you guys knew I was doing something with them, but hopefully you enjoy the result. Someone asked for something like this quite a while ago (though their suggestion sounded a bit more like Facebook then my puny message center), but this has been one of those changes that's just kept getting bumped. I've got a few more of those possibly lined up for V4 (and unfortunately I've already bumped some of them off to V5 ).
Anywho, hope you guys like the new messages and logs. Max for messages is 50 and max for defense logs is now 30. If either is full, the oldest message/log will be automatically deleted in order to make room. Click on the title to expand the full message. The "Send Message" form from the bio page has been removed and instead there's a link in the actions box. Note that at this time, you can only send a message to one person, but perhaps in the future there will be limited multiperson messaging (not gonna give you guys a message all option or anything close; too much of a temptation for spam).
Few other points:
Really, all that's left to be done for V4 is the rest of quests and a few more odds and ends. Now all I need to do is find time to actually make the changes. Once I do that, I should have a official launch date for you guys!
Thanks for your patience! Go Team!

Few other points:
- I've tweaked Bears and Gara. Hopefully they won't be quite so ridiuculously overpowerful.
- Quests now give out a little XP upon completion. Will probably make it a bit more, but some is better than nothing.
- Ed and I are working on the new graphics (and by that, I mean Ed's working on the graphics and I'm just throwing stuff out there ). A few minor tweaks and graphical glitches to go, but we're getting close I think.
