Visiting Guests

Er lots.

We... um... kinda went out on a publicity campaign... we hope you don't mind...

New member! Tania, from Dallas, Texas. Hopefully she'll introduce herself soon

Well... When you come to a forum, the first thing you see is its portal (if there is one). Anything can be put there (for example, some news about the main subject of the forum), but one thing that every portal has is an introduction where it's explained what the forum is about and everything else a new member or someone who is thinking of becoming one should know. From portal you can move on to the forum itself with all its topics.

Yes, I invited her.

The reporter (the old teen one got ditched):
After a large and extensive publicity campaign by four members of the TWCG (Maris, LadyCobweb, Thalia and Mac) and the latter spammed YA to his heart's wish Joce, the site admin, has discovered. We wait to see what she makes of this while she was away.

The publicity campaign's results are still to be discovered, however, the outlook appears to be good after a new member, Tania, joined.

Hmm... I think I saw something that might help. Okay, who's doing to volunteer to log out , and check out the homepage. Oh, I'll do it.

Maris - like an 'about' page?

Joce, that's lovely! Great idea. I think you should add a 'hello, welcome to the TWCG where ...' though Or the portal

Third post in a row LOL!

Chatbox is EPIC! What a great idea Joce!

Mac wrote:Maris - like an 'about' page?

In a way, yes. Though, an 'about' page wouldn't necessarily have to be the first thing you see when you get on the forum. We could have an 'about' page instead of portal. Or a little pop-out window with all that information - that would also be good because I think only guests would see it. Whatever Joce prefers.

EDIT: Oh, Joce already did it! I agree with Mac, it should say 'welcome' and a few things about the forum explaining what it's all about.
I like the chatbox too.

Really? Publicity campaign how? Jeez, Mac you're making me nervous, in a good way.

Hmm... maybe I'm the only one who thinks it looks terrible. Good idea, and something I know how to do. OOhh , there's a blog feature. Okay and done. Hmm, small problem, topics from the Critique Center are displayed.

Please tell me my name is the keyword only on my portal

No, I logged out, and they weren't there

Thalia wrote:Please tell me my name is the keyword only on my portal

Hahahaha. It's on mine too. I don't know what's that supposed to be.

Um... We posted a lot about it. And I spammed YA xD 'K not really but I posted the link on a few 'any good critique sites?' questions. And so did everyone else. I hope we did a good job, there was a lot of page views

The portal is cool! I have the chatbox on one tab and this in another and when I opened this I found the portal and I was like 'WHAT'S THIS?' (In a good way)

Nope, Lizzie's on mine too. XD

Aah, nice going.

Lizzie, scroll down to the bottom of the homepage...
Ta Da! An Instant Messaging chat box, thanks to Joce

Oh, sorry, I was on letmewatchthis for the past 2 hours with the forum in a different tab

The portal and the chatbox are both great ideas. I especially love the portal - it looks wonderful. Good job, Joce!

Thanks. Feeling pretty proud of doing nothing but clicking a few boxes.

LOL!

Guest in Middlesbrough, awesome!

Bit late but Kelly O'Hara is me!!!

I'm guessing the secrets out now. I was hoping I could pretend to be some crazed old lady named dot but I guess not...

And I'm getting there, I'm getting there.... there will be more to come my life as just been overrun by Plato and Fitzgerald for a while1

:O That means we know your name! xD

Wow, how much green and orange of the whole thing is it for you? 1500 messages! :O And I moved to North Korea, a place where internet is illegal except for none other than Kim Jong-il who uses the chinese internet anyway.

really? that's pretty cool

and quite a lot im slowly working my way through everything - who needs to do history homework?! No lifes just been pretty busy at the moment but I'm back

so apart from your publicity campaign (which Im rather impressed with) what else have I missed?

Dot/Kelly

Er... the awesome chatbox when you uh scroll down on the front page?

Not much. The site changes have been the main thing but they just made lots of posts - character interview forum! That is the best forum EVER. I need to post more on my story so that I can have my antagonist interviewed.

That's gonna be fun Wish I could reveal more:P
