Greetings, Coffee House members!
Since we were forced to move our community away from ZetaBoards in late June, we've been able to take advantage of a host of new features which the old software simply didn't have - including the arcade, the notifications, and the recently-installed mentions system. Then there are others which we did have on ZB, but are much-improved here, allowing us to do some things that simply weren't possible on the old board. One example of this is the Coffee Credits system: these can be set on a per-forum basis now, allowing us to run temporary promotions in certain boards.
This brings me to Science September! For the duration of the month of September, we are running two events focused on the science section of the board. These are as follows:
Good luck, everybody - and enjoy the science!

This brings me to Science September! For the duration of the month of September, we are running two events focused on the science section of the board. These are as follows:
- Double Coffee Credits in the science-oriented sections of the board! This includes the Intellectual Curiosity Chamber, as well as Nature and the Universe and its two subforums. Throughout September, the Coffee Credit rates here will be 10CC per post and 100CC per new topic (as opposed to the usual 5CC per post and 50CC per new topic).
- At the end of the month, we'll hold a special poll for "Best Science Thread"! These will be nominated much like the Forum Contributions awards: any thread will be eligible as long as it's science-oriented and started in September. It doesn't even have to be in the Intellectual Curiosity Chamber or Nature and the Universe: as long as it's science-oriented, it can be anywhere (for example, a medicine-oriented topic in Health and Lifestyle would qualify, and even scientifically-inspired art posted in the Community Showcase would qualify).
At the end of this, the winner will receive a special Golden Microscope! (Do note that the eligibility criteria have been relaxed for Science September: Owners and Admins are eligible for this award, as are people who already have a Golden Microscope, so this really is open to everybody)
Good luck, everybody - and enjoy the science!
