The forge has been busy. Over the past couple of sessions we've been quietly hammering away at the site — and the results are worth a proper announcement. Here's what's changed.
User Management Portal
Admins now have a dedicated control panel at /vote/admin. From here you can review and approve new registration requests, promote or revoke admin privileges, reset passwords for standard users, and remove accounts entirely. No more fumbling around in the terminal for day-to-day user housekeeping — it's all in the browser, gated behind your admin credentials.
Servers Are Now Login-Gated
The server list has been moved behind authentication. You'll need an Anathema account to view connection details — which keeps the server addresses out of reach of randos stumbling across the site. If you don't have an account yet, hit the Vote page to register; your request goes straight to the admins for approval.
Real URLs and Port Info
The servers page now lists actual hostnames and ports for every game server we're running — no more "check Stoat Chat" placeholders. Minecraft, Palworld, Starbound, Return to Moria — they're all there with the addresses you need to connect. Log in and head to Servers to see the full list.
What's Next
A session scheduling portal is on the roadmap — propose sessions, RSVP, check availability, the works. The auth and email plumbing is already in place so it shouldn't be long. Watch this space.
