Hey guys,
Touching base once again with you all to let you know how things are coming along with the changes that are taking a little longer than expected.
First of all, we apologise for the massive delays in getting this stuff done, but a majority of our time has been taken up with IRL stuff these past few weeks. @Pyro699 has been flat out busy with work related stuff as have I. I currently have a large project in the works that has been taking up all of my time lately. The mods have been doing a great job keeping an eye on the forum for us during this time and we appreciate all of the work that @Kate, @Emily, @Scot and @Keil are doing.
We're still working on the awards system and have Emily and Kate to thank for the more current awards made for the various contests being held. (On this note, if you would like to help us out with any awards/suggestions for them, please do send them on in to any staff member and we will keep a record of it in our spreadsheet).
On the subject of the Program Manager 2.0, this is still in the works but has unfortunately been pushed back further than we had anticipated (due to Pyro's current work situation). Again, if you would like to offer some help in the way of programming/helping in this venture, please do PM Pyro699 and I'm sure that he would be glad to discuss it with you. At this stage, the completion date won't be set for at least a couple more months (unless we can get the extra help needed to push it through).
@Waser Lave has been working on a new app addition to the site which focuses on the Neopets Stock Market and some interesting data. This is almost ready for release and we can expect it within the next couple of weeks 
This has been a long time in the making and will surely benefit those of you who take an interest in buying/selling your Neostocks daily.
The Private Rank is still being sorted out, we have the sub-section set up for it and the ranks permissions are almost done, we just need to finalise how we are going to (re)introduce it to the forum. The rank will have its own hidden section for members of Private only, as well as added perks that will be revealed once we have everything set in stone. We will be looking at an application system and guidelines so people have a concrete idea on how to achieve the rank. Once more, this is still a massive work in progress and we still need to look at appointing a Private Leader role (we have at least one candidate in mind and will be discussing this with them asap).
Life Hacks sub-forum. This will be added just as soon as I get a 'flavour' text thought up (this is the text that describes the sub-forums content). It will be a section for people to post guides on various life 'hacks' that make everyday life easier.
Programming section. Continue to improve this section and potentially add more Jr. Programmers to the ranks, who in turn, can help contribute to the updating of our programs/improve them/create new and innovative ones. This will not be limited to just Neopets either as we are looking to add new genres/games in the future. We want to end up diversifying the site in terms of what games we offer support for. If you have any suggestions for this and what we could look into putting in place, shoot us a PM and we can discuss it there
This summarises what we discussed the other day in our Staff meeting and we look forward to potentially working you all on improving the way Neocodex runs and what we have to offer!
More specific information, for example.
