In other news, T3A would like to congratulate _Haldir_ in receiving a team chamber position!

Next, the main T3A website has been cleaned up a bit. Besides cleaning up some obsolete/poor quality material, I've uploaded several new things to the site. For example, Arcade Edition is now on the main site, and various resources/maps from the (now dead) Middle Earth Vault website can be found here. I also updated the BfME section of the Revora bar and our affiliates. Finally, the hostee list has been updated. The new list contains the following:

New Hostee List
Lone Wolf +0
RC Mod +0
The 4th Age - Unarchived
Massive Middle Earth +1
Helm's Deep Last Hope -2
The Elven Alliance: Community Edition -2
War of the Gods +2
Wars of Arda -2
The Four Ages -2
Kings of the West +0
Echoes -3

NOTE: To all T3A hosted members, please read this topic and this post. Thanks.
