With great pleasure I announce to you the release of Fuji Planet's 9th version!

The staff has worked for many weeks to make v1.9 as good as it can possibly be, and we wanted to correct some of the mistakes we made with v1.8, such as it seeming to be rushed, etc.

So, without further adieu, here are the new updates:

-There is one staff change coming with v1.9. Jojo is being promoted to Reviewer Team Leader to replace me. I will be retiring from the Reviewing team entirely, as I do not have time for it anymore. I will however be staying as an admin and may contribute a review from time to time.
-There are new Shop items and updates as well. These include:

-You may now bump one thread of your choice for 300 FujiBucks.
-You may now bump three threads of your choice for 700 FujiBucks.
-You may now edit your username for 100 FBs per letter. Complete username changes are still 1000 FujiBucks.
-You can now have a user message for 800 FBs. These are different from a headline in that they are editable by you and are in the same please as a staff message would be.

More information on these changes can be found on the respective threads in the FujiShop.

-The Personal Challenges section has been brought back. You may now challenge other users to post battles, rap contests, debate offs, etc.
-More Smileys are currently being added. If you find a good smiley, post it on the smiley suggestion thread in General Fuji Talk.
-Halloween decorations will soon be in place to celebrate the holiday.
-A new rule will be in effect for the Contests section. If you have a contest, you must first PM it to an ADMIN for approval. After they give their approval you may post the contest.

And last but not least, something we have all been waiting for for quite a while...

THE RANKS ARE BACK!

Yes, we are reimplementing the old rank images with new names and post amounts.

There is also another announcement about another separate update that will be posted by Shush when he feels is appropriate. So really this is a 2 for 1 update. You will probably get more out of the other announcement anyway, as it is more user friendly.

In any case, I hope you enjoyed my announcement and the new features of v1.9!

Nice, editing post later

So, when will the ranks be operational?

Sometime in the next hour YEM.

EPICNESS OF HOLY EPICNESS

Ranks have been implemented, as have Shop Updates. Updates on implementation will be posted here.

Smileys will be updated as we get more suggestions. I am posting the suggestion thread now.

Banner has been updated.

New rule will be added now.

Cool. I saw ranks of the same person (Bonnie, I was reading some of my old threads) change every minute or so.

New rule is added. Everything that will be done has been done.

And cool, you watched as I set them up.

Nicely done.

Great update.

Nice.

Cool bro

Thank you sirs. We tried our best, that's for sure.

Remember suggesting rank names? Well, you were helping with 1.9 and didn't even know it.

Great, great job Ein. Sorry I wasnt on to help.

Some people might not have known.

Lol, lol.

So how are you guys liking v1.9 now that it's been out for a couple weeks?
