Has been a big year for the ever-evolving NovaHQ, we take a look back at the major events and some useless facts of 2005
1st Quarter
What with NHQ continually expanding, it was decided that to keep up with everything, we would need another admin, after some hunting around and looking at potential candidates, Trojan was awarded the position. So far Trojan has taken over the bulk of the tourneys and a lot of the other administrative duties which are involved with running the site, leaving us wondering where we'd be without him, thanks troj
2nd Quarter
April saw the release of the long awaited and highly anticipated new NL game of Delta Force Xtreme.
April also saw the release of the NovaHQ member status images, these images were designed as a way for you, the members, to be recognized for your contributions to the site, there are now over 30 images that are proudly displayed by the members on their sites, in forum signatures and even email signatures! Question is, have you got yours?
Member Status Images are located at

Chief, a forumite was asked to become and accepted a moderator position in the Tech Support Forums, chief has been an invaluable wealth of knowledge for a whole satck of members for a long time and was deserving of the position, thanks chief.
Baddog, a long standing member of the forum, and a Novahq High Roller was also became a forum moderator of the General forums. He was also recently promoted to forum super moderator. Thank you Baddog, we don't know what we would do without you!
In May, NHQ underwent a major update that included 3 new themes, a kick ass new admin panel that allows for much easier administration of NovaHQ and a much needed new tourney script which provided much needed automation of tourneys. This update also made the site fully xhtml 1.0 compliant so ease of accessibility.
During this time the 5000th custom map was submitted to the NovaHQ Map database! Big thanks to all the map makers who take the time to make the maps and submit them to NovaHQ, it really is appreciated and is a big part of making this site what it is.
As we continue to grow in size, more members were added to the NovaHQ High Rollers Group, the HQHR is a group of senior members who have special privileges and status at the site as a way of thanking them for their continued support. Four new members were added to the group, DevilDog#1, Dr. Bullet, Acid and Katana , big congrats to you guys
3rd Quarter
NovaHQ reached 9000 members!
On August 4th (Yes its august 4th – despite what people say) NovaHQ celebrated its 4th birthday! We were all taken aback when we realized, the time just seems to have flown!
4th Quarter
