The Pin-Up (February 1, 2008)

[Ashmadai]

No. 3 February 1, 2008

Welcome to the February Issue of "The Pin-up", The Bulletin Board Monthly Newsletter!


What's New at "The Bulletin Board":

1. The Bulletin Board is now being sent via mass-email to the members. You may opt out of receiving E-Mails by going to modify your profile and choosing the "Opt Out" option under Mass E-Mails. The Pin-up will still be available online.

2. Visiting Admins: Please remember to post all of your Proboard Message Boards in "The Directory". You may also put a clickable link to your board in your sig lines. The current policy is that you may now post your boards in up to 3

catagories, we only ask that you choose 3 catagories which best fit your board. If you can't find 3 catagories, and have a suggestion for a new catagory... please let us know.

3. The Bulletin Board now has 5 e-mail applications on line for your convenience. These forms are the Board Application, Moderator Application, Advisor Application, Boardhop Application and the Admin Contact form.

4. New This Month! The Monthly Newsletter is toying with the idea of posting puzzles and such for the monthly newsletter for your entertainment. The Answers to the puzzles may be posted on the board in the games section sometime around the middle of the month.

5. New This Month! We added the Spotlight Board of the Week. The SBOTW is a showcase feature used for the purpose of promoting a new board every week.

Board Hop[/u]:

The Board hop now has 6 boards, please make sure your code for the hop is posted on your site in such a way that the hop

isn't broken by your boards going into maintainence.

Here are a few facts about the hop.

1. Anyone with a message board can become a member of the hop, you don't have to join the Bulletin Board in order to be placed on the hop.

2. The information needed to be given are the name of the board and the URL, with-out the URL you can't be placed on the board hop. It is also helpful to give the type of board you are submitting because that helps us place your board on the hop.

3. Please place your code in a side table, like shown on The Bulletin Board, or in your Main Header of your board. You may also add a forum or thread for the hop to your board, but when doing so then place it in a place easily found. If you do not wish alot of "useless messages" on your message board, you may forego the forum or thread for the boardhop, since you already have a link to the hop in a table.

You may join the hop by going to The Bulletin Board and signing up there, or PMing Ashmadai.


Applications

Board Application[/u]

The Bulletin Board has a General Application for the members to fill out, however if you are not an admin, or under the age of 16, then there is no need to fill out an application.

Moderator[/u]

Applications are still being taken for the role of Forum Moderator at The Bulletin Board. The Moderators will be held responsible for maintaining and policing their forums (when necessary), promoting The Bulletin Board and their forums, and helping with the growth of the board by offering suggestions which would help improve the board.

To become a moderator, one must be a member of this board.

Moderators will not be appointed in order which the application is received. We judge who becomes a moderator by not only their application, but also other factors (such as how we see them act on other boards).

Advisors[/u]

Advisors are still being sought by The Bulletin Board, so if you are interested - then put in your Application. Advisors will be promoted in accordance with experience and our needs at The Bulletin Board. In March we will re-assess our Advisor status to determine whether the need for advisors is stil necessary.
