Hello HNZers! Welcome to another month where we shine the light on a character. You might have noticed that there was not one for the month of May. That was because the site itself was the spotlight! Anyway, on to the main character for the month of June. What we do is look for a character that has a detailed biography that can be motivating for the site, or other factors such as personality, aesthetics, detail, or anything that catches our eye. And this month, it is Audrey Beauchamp, roleplayed by Camilla! You should check out her biography, developments, and relationships!

In May, we offered A Solution for Image Hosting Woes and it was exactly that: a solution. It meant we controlled access to uploads and another image host wouldn't fail us. It was quick and dirty and based loosely off a system which site staff have used for years for board-critical uploads. But there was a lot to dislike about it, too. No multi-uploads.
