* Redesigned Bug Tracker - Rather than relying on the old, needlessly-separated bug and issue trackers, the new bug tracker is lifted largely from the Chaotic United forums, with a single system for all bugs - whether they be for the website, Discord, or Blamite.
* Redesigned Suggestions Tracker - Rather than the old system with one single category for all suggestions, this also is lifted from CU where each project/service has its own category.
* Replaced old (sometimes broken) links to issue tracker with appropriate links to the new bug tracker
