We are a go people! Please share our new site at https://extralife.gaiscioch.com/ or http://gsch.info/extralife This year I've compiled a list of over 300 games to giveaway during this event. I will be approaching all 7 studios we'll be supporting in this 10 event lineup for additional giveaways. Both viewers and participants can win some pretty sweet prizes.
We will be running this event like our Telara Saga and Great Tyrian Adventure under our Public Community Events engine. The website is updated and ready to send to your friends and this year we'll even be offering space in our magazine for donors who contribute to our main fundraising account at: http://gsch.info/extralife-donate. Unfortunately, Extra Life does not provide contact details for donors on other accounts linked to the team, so we'll have to use our main account for all those who wish to reserve space in our magazine. They can do what they like with the space, whether it's an ad for a product or a cute cat photo. The space is our way of saying thanks for helping support our cause.
All proceeds from this event go to the Children's Miracle Network, the same charity that a few years ago, covered the expenses for our very own Tristan's kidney replacement. This was the event that sold our community on putting the effort forward to help raise money for kids like Tristan who are raised by single parents or even find themselves without parents needing medical attention. Help me give these children a second chance to make an epic story of their own. Get involved in this charity event as a participant, viewer, or donor. Just simply sharing the event with your friends can be a small ripple that changes a child's life.

Added Security to Gaiscioch.com
Over the past month, I've spent a lot of time converting over our site to work with a SSL/HTTPS. This improved security will keep data encrypted as it flows across the net giving us all a safer experience. It also helps show Uncle Google that we're a serious website that takes security seriously, which helps us get discovered.
There will be without a doubt, areas of the site that just don't seem to work right. If you find one of these areas do me a favor and send me the URL of the page that isn't working right along with a description of what you were trying to do. This is over 1 million lines of code written over 15 years so there's a lot of pockets that might not function correctly.
New Forum Layout
Over the past month. I finally gave the forums a little facelift. While it's not entirely 100% where I want it, I've removed the old style of signatures as most of them broke the HTTPS and referenced non-https images. Instead I moved to a more dynamic footer that builds on demand and will eventually be mobile friendly as well. I am slowly but surely migrating our site to be mobile friendly but as above, that's 15 years, and over a million lines of code that need to be adjusted to work right.
