Alot of people have been sending us mail regarding updates and what not - no one got a reply, nor did we send responses through the site. This was due to the simply fact that we had problems with our servers and computers, these unwanted issues, have, however, been resolved and opperations should resume as normal.

Our initial plan with todays 'blog' or 'update' was to include our new 'chat system' which will be explained within our next blog post or main update later today.

Best Regards,

Warpz Team

As usual we have our new update ready and implemented.

This update was to simply try and stop the use of BOTS and CRAWLERS over our site. Although, mainly visited through virtual environments posed as mobile devices, we have captured a selected few from confirmed PC/MAC/Linux Browsers - IP's Logged and Reports Filed, this wasn't enough. So we have introduced our new system called the 'Warpz S-Mate'. Which, coincidently, uses a similar system to other PHP related social networks, although ours has been specifically designed to NEVER be broken.

This should NOT affect loading times or your personal experiance here at warpz, so sit back, relax and enjoy every moment of your safer environment.

The Warpz Team

We're at it, again.

After another successful week or so - And alot of hard work; we have our new core system aligned and implemented featuring new plugins, faster load times and a whole bunch more...

Warpz Chat-Box

Our main update this time was to allow users to have an 'open' chat system whereby they can navigate to or from chatrooms whilst communitcating with other members. Although, still under development, our new 'Warpz Chat-Box' plugin can be found here, or by clicking the 'Chat' link located in the page header...

After another successful week here at Warpz HQ, I'm proud to announce to simple change to our Login system. As you may be aware; we don't use HTTPS, but infact stick with HTTP, although we have considered changing.

We now allow and suggest you use your e-mail you used upon sign-up to login. Eliminating the use of usernames.

Feedback is welcome.

The Warpz Team.

Warpz has been successfully updated with bug fixes and general enhancements.

The ability to find 'friend of friends', or; recommended friends is now available along with the update of events. Allowing users to create, log, share and invite friends to certain events within their life.

Another minor update is the feature of the 'Contact Page' allowing users to contact a member of the Warpz team without having to use the 'Feedback' form or using E-mail.

These updates, are, however, in beta stage. All feedback is welcome.

The Warpz Team

Welcome Back Folks.

**UPDATE:  Warpz have currently disabled the userpoints plugin due to conflictions with bottom Bar. The Bottom bar is currently being modded to handle the New AJAX functions. Please be patient.
