I've updated the "Karma" levels that one receives depending on how many posts one has. I'll let everyone figure out what they are for themselves.
I've also made it required to list your first name, last name, city, state, and country, credit card number, and expiration date in your profile for new members. Ok...I'm kidding about the credit card. Already registered members please add this info when you get a chance.
I've also made it required to list your Location so that everyone can see where one is from because I think it would be neat to see where everyone is from.
I've also made it optional to list your Birthday, Gender, Occupation, Interests, Biography, as well as some new questions to answer such as:
1. When did you first become interested in filmmaking? 2. What are your favorite films? 3. What are your least favorite films? 4. If you could do anything in the film industry, what would you do?
I hope that everyone likes the changes!
Best Regards, Chris Wright Studentfilms.com

The main page of the site has been updated as well, with a new introduction and a What's New section that has the most recent site announcements and the recent forum topics.
I think the changes work well. I like all the new options in the profile, and I like that some of it is now required. Far too many people dont put anything is their profile, and you have no idea who you are working with. Profiles give everyone a little more personality. I especially like that you have location as one of the required items. Its great to know where everyone is from.
