We're pleased to announce our latest update!


As you might have noticed, our homepage became a personalized feed of all the activity in our Clubs, Blogs and Forums.

When you join clubs that you are interested in, your feed will be updated to favor the content from those clubs first! If you've chosen to subscribe to a blog, these will be be taken into account as well. Commenting and linking posts will more likely suggest similar content to you in the future.
This is all powered by an algorithm similar to other social media platforms!

We're also giving club owners the ability to recruit their own moderation. Of course the Everskies team will still moderate content posted and handle reports.

The goal of this is to slim down our Rules of Conduct and remove various parts that a club owner can then choose to apply. For example, our spamming rule will no longer apply, the Club owners can choose themselves what kind of posts are welcome.

The new RoC will be announced soon, for now the current one still applies.

Club owners also have the ability to choose whether competitions can be posted by anyone, or a specific group (Guests, users, co-owner).

We recommend you to check out the various clubs our users have made, or perhaps even make your own :blushie:


To let everyone get accustomed to clubs, we're going to be phasing out our forums over 7 days!

  • For the first 24 hours, you'll be able to make posts as usual in our forums
  • After 24 hours, you won't be able to make new posts in our forums however you still will be able to comment on them.
  • Finally, after a week we will make our forums read-only so that you can still have access to any important posts that you have made/found
