NEWSLETTER AND ACTIVITY CHECKThat's right, no Cambria Monthly for November. I didn't feel like activity was high enough to waste 4 hours of my life on it. No big deal though, next month will hopefully be a little more fruitful.
This Newsletter will cover:
-Contest Winners
-Money Issue
-Actvity Issue
-Activity Check
CONTEST WINNERS
I wasn't going to judge any of the contests since we didn't get even 4 entries in either of them, but Larka convinced me to at least judge the October Fasion Fad because we got 3 entries.
So THANK YOU to the three people that entered. For being so awesome, each of you win a table by me, and a colored name of ANY kind. Just PM me for your prizes.
-First Place- Seiren
-Second Place- Larka
-3rd Place- Sage
MONEY ISSUE
For now, I am cancelling the idea of a money system for Wasted Skies. It's just too much hassel, and no one has the time or ambition for it. There may be one implemented in the future, but as of now there won't be one.
ACTIVITY ISSUES
Okay, looking at the activity I just want to mention a few things here. Now I'm not angry, but I really don't want this place to just drift into inactivity like my old site, Adversity/CCT did. So I'm just going to list some things that I think need to be improved here that'll make me uber happy, and you hopefully as well. At least this way I don't need to break down in the cbox and piss people off.
Firstly I'd like to say that I KNOW you guys are busy. I'm in school myself, and it sucks. I went for 3 weeks or so without muse. I know that it's very hard, and I'm more than willing to be leinient on you if you just let me know that you're having a hard time.
Other than that, some things that I'd like to see:
-Logging in with ALL your accounts once every 24 hours. Just so I Can see who's around, and it's NOT that hard. Takes 30 seconds max, and you can just set your OOC account to forever if you want.
-Posting. Whenever you can, I'm not going to say something stupid like "post once a week or you'll be deleted." No, what I just mean is that you should be posting as often as you can. WS isn't just a place to gossip in the cbox.
-Participating in site events. Whether this is contests, plot things, advertising (which I rarely ask you to do), or whatever it might be, I'd love for you all to be active members.
There you have it, 3 simple things that'll make life easier. That being said, let's move onto the next order of business.
ACTIVITY CHECK
I've decided to have one of these every 2 or 3 months or so just to weed out the inactive, remind people that we exist, and get some feedback. Just fill out the simple form and reply to this thread. Easy!

[/size]
Example-

Last post- --Overcome on 11-8-09
Things you like about WS- The skin, the wonderful community, the general theme, the waffles.
Things you dislike about WS- The lack of activity, the skin.
Suggestions for improvement/Questions- New skin, add this to the plot, organize this, move this, do this, smell that. How can I be more involved?
Feel free to go crazy with the answers for the form, I really want to hear from you guys. Be rude and blunt if you have to!
THE END
Alright, this will also be going out in an email to everyone. Please reply as soon as possible.
Activity Check ending 11-23-09!
Anyone who hasn't posted by that date WILL be deleted, I don't care who you are or how long I've known you.
Thank you muchly,
-Admin Locura

Suggestions for improvement/Questions- uhm...not really. just watch, i'm going to get a really good idea and it's gonna be too late. i think we need a subplot that people can participate it but is not completely site wide ( you can choose not to include it) but of course i don't have any ideas for what.

Name- Larka
Characters- Monty, Kana, and Dani
Last post- Fun in the Sun with Kana 11/5/09
Things you like about WS- The close knit bonds of friendship and the sometimes awkward and usually random conversations in the cbox. I also like the threads that we have going on the IC board.
Things you dislike about WS- The amount of time I spend waiting for posts from other people. I try to be patient cause I know people have lives (I do too, so I understand) but I still wish some threads were a little faster paced.
Suggestions for improvement/Questions- About the money system, I could give it a shot if you really wanted to try koz, but otherwise I may have a few contest ideas to PM you later.

Suggestions for improvement/Questions- Roi should be neutered.

Things you like about WS: The skin, the contests and activities though I don't have time to enter them. The activity in the chatbox. The people. The characters. The plot.
Things you dislike about WS: Not really anything.
Suggestions for improvement/Questions: The Images for 'New Message' etc into Text. It's a code I rather like. But other than that, no.
I'd just like to say, sorry for my inactivity though lately I've been getting on. I'm also having problems with my laptop, the damn thing broke once again. But tape is keeping it alive right now. So....I'll try to be more active. And don't look at the date for my last post >>
