There were many changes. We've removed quite a few boards that we think will do better once we have more activity. Right now our focus is on unifying the staff and pulling in members. Once that's done we'll be opening up another thread for people to suggest boards that they'd like to see come back. The Interview board will be sticking around. Instead of just professional interviews, though, we'll be opening them back up to member interviews as well. There will still be a certain standard to them. Like in the Herald, but they can be done. There are two other boards I want you to take notice to, however.
The Contest board. This is where any forum contests will take place. Right now it's being headed up by d.Safe and Josh. d.Safe will be starting a signature of the month contest with multiple themes for you to revel in. Josh will be continuing with the Caption Contest, and we'll even take suggestions as to what other kinds you would like to see. Next is the Creative Control board. It's a collaboration of the Photography, Literature, and Film board. Now by no means does that mean you have to post about all three. It's just a nice way to bring the three together. After all, they all are a sort of art.
We've had some major changes in staffing. Kai and Avtar have been let go. It was nothing personal, as their lives have been busy. Gray has resigned under his own decision, and it was due to personal reasons. There was no fight, no hatred between the two of us. He just felt it was his time to go. We wish him well, and hope that someday he'll join us back here to continue to make SSD a better place. As you can see in the stunning turquoise like color, Car is back for a bit. She'll be helping me out and providing her neverending wisdom, ideas and awesomely awesome advice. <3
Take a look at the forum policy. See any changes? There are major ones. We're loosening up. Chillout can now be a bit spammy, but that doesn't mean we want you to just make spam topics one hundred percent of the time. The Herald will go through some changes as well, and by all means, you'll definitely see them when the next one is released. First, though, I want to direct your attention to a thread in the Herald board. Go read it, and post!
Seriously guys, I know this is a huge step and change for SSD. By no means is it to follow anyone else's ideas. These were all thought upon by the upper staff members. Once we can establish some more activity, more boards will be introduced back-- better than ever before.
So for now, enjoy it.
