My apologies if some of these links no longer work, but I'm prone to shuffle things around in the site and won't always update this log to reflect the changes.

I decided to go through the Cast section of the site and update any links to cast and crew's official pages, informational pages, etc. I also added icons for anyone that has a facebook, twitter, and/or wiki page. I actually found more information than was there previously, so it's worth checking out. I plan to do the same for the comics section, but for now it's just the cast page with these updates.
I also learned that Larry Franke was responsible for those fun outtakes of the voice actors we've been amussed by for years, so I added his information as a credit on the appropriate audiio download page.
In addition, I updated the links page with the icon heroes link. I've also created a cross referencing link to the above mentioned cast and credits page for referencing all the cast and crews' outgoing links, instead of relisting them individually there.
Finally, I installed a Like button along the right side navigation for the site's facebook page. If you like what you see here, feel free to give this site the FB thumbs up!

Had to do another update, prompted by a great donation to the site's audio chat files - Check out the latest Larry Kenny interview exclusive!
Since I had the ftp open, I did a few more things around here as well. There's an addition to the music video section - an embed of a fantastic cover of the ThunderCats Theme by Santiago Walsh
I also updated the banners page - 1) because my photoshop skills are a little better than they used to be and 2) I wanted them to reflect the new site name and url (more about that later). On a related note, I revamped the affiliate page a little as I can accept bigger images than previously stated.
The wallpaper pages were fixed...seems I had some layout issues still looming there. Oops. All fixed now.
Speaking of fixing things, both the fic archive software and gallery software got updates. With the gallery, old skins aren't compatible so for now they're not customized but it's a really nice update nonetheless. Likewise, the efic update went smooth and I was also able to fix the challenges issue AND finally got past the glitch that kept me from approving the work of Rangerkitty. So be sure to check that out along with other updated works there!
I'm trying to get out of mundania more and return to the fandom boards more often, including the forum here. I've brought back the caption this threads. Come join us!
Still have more to fix and update, but this is a good start.
Finally in regards to the site name and url identity, I'm doing something else with my purrsiathunder domains and soon the purrsiathunder.org domain won't be parked over this one. Meaning, if you are still using it to link here, it'll be redirecting people somewhere else non-Thundercats in the near future. So I humbly ask that if anyone feels inclined and has a moment to please update their links to the thundercatsfans.org address. And update any bookmarks. Thanks!

Finally got that content update ready to roll out!First off, I have added info to the Appearances page. Got all the major villians on there. It's not done - I plan to add minor players as well - but it's progress.
I also noticed I somehow forgot to add the rest of the UK releases to the dvd page, and added it.
Fan Fic has has some activity, including the latest installment of SITS. I've also been made aware of an issue with the challenges feature, and I'm working on it. Hope to have it fixed soon.
Otherwise, with the new layout, the Site History page was updated. Also, in case you didn't notice, the site's newsletter is now officially on Facebook - the yahoo group will become archival only. Please join us there for site update notices and site news.

Facelift!Pardon the dust, so to speak - the site is undergoing a remodel...should be fairly quick and painless with hopefully some new content to post about shortly afterward. Hope you like the new look!

Special Announcement Update:I'm poking my head up from being in a Voltron frenzy (yes, that's where I've been - in a Voltron state of mind...besides working my butt off in mundania), due to a big announcement in our neck of the fandom woods. Word was spreading like wildfire yesterday regarding a new series for Thundercats. There are many sites running the same press release, and this is just one.
We are also discussing the new series on the message board - please join us! The latest update is that Larry Kenney, who voiced Lion-O on the original series, will be the voice of Claudus on the new show and has already recorded his first ep! This was confirmed via facebook.
Otherwise, I've actually had the Fandom awards section finalized for a while with the winners etc. I've also posted my site award and my fic award for display - thanks so much to all who supported me!
I hope to come back soon for a more proper update. Until then, enjoy the buzz about the new series!

Fandom Awards Update:First, polls are running til the 24th. Second, I remind you that they are in a public venue so this is where I shamelessly plug for people who don't do facebook or yahoo groups to vote for your fave tcats fandom talents.
The polls have security features that ensure you can only vote once for each award (although a few of the fic polls are set up to select more than one choice). ALSO, grizzlor, who is heading the site section this year, did something unprecedented for his section. He managed to get Hard Hero to give away a Mumm-Ra the Everliving statue to the fan site that is voted 'Best Fan Site of the Decade'. Follow the links to vote!

A few quick notices: The Fandom Awards are in full swing. I have updated the list of nominees here on this site, but the most up-to-date versions are at the Yahoo Group and facebook page. You have until Wednesday to submit your nominations, and voting will start on March 15th. If you've been nominated, graphic badges have been made to pimp with, too. Mine are:The Fic Nom is for SITS for a Best In Decade Award, and the Site nom is for a couple of different things...click the images to visit the facebook page if you are interested in supporting the fic and/or site for an award!
There are a lot of wonderful fan works already nominated, but more could be added. Your support in the voting round for ANY of the wonderful fan works is also appreciated. Best of luck to all in the running!
Also, we have a new artist, Chiauve, in the ThunderArt Gallery. Please do check it out! The Fic Archive has seen more activity by Knight Writer, Chiauve, and ashrhinos. Stop by and see what's new.
Myself, I have no less than three SITS chapters in the hopper that need more revising. Should be posted with the next update. There will be some content updates next round as well. Until then, please check out the fandom awards and give your faves some support!
