We just rolled out a couple new features onto the Guide.

1. Featured Queue: This is mostly relevant for moderators. Previously, to feature a channel on the front page, moderators had to manually unfeature an older channel before featuring a new one. Now, when a channel is featured, it goes into a queue with all the other channels featured by moderators. Then, once a day, the oldest featured channel is removed from the front page (but still visible on the Featured page) and replaced by an entry from the queue. It picks the channel round-robin style so that all the moderators get channels on the front page.
2. Adult Flagging: This is an oft-requested featured. Now moderators will be able to flag channels as Adult and they’ll be filtered (by default) from all views. If you want to see them, then you can visit the Adult category and agree to see them.

Matt moved the database onto its own server, which along with some new caching code has sped the site up a lot. Hopefully it’ll be able to handle the spike when Miro 1.0 comes out.
