Okay, sorry for a mile long post even before starting...
August's edition look good, I'm pretty excited of starting them!
(gosh, Rachel, how can you be so fast? Now you start getting your cards ready even before we have a subject. :D just kidding... I just wish I could be a little faster myself). And love your sunset cards - the coulors and everything (I think I'm a colorholist).
About the staff badges.
I like Prinxess' design. Something simple, but effective like that is just perfect. I think we should all provide new pics, though. It's perhaps easier to start making the new badges that way. And if I remember correctly, we have some members who had resigned still there, and then some current staff members still missing.
And about the clubs activity/death threat.
Yeah, it's been really quiet in here in the summer. But I think other clubs have been much quieter as well. Summer just is like that.
I suggest that we go forward like now the rest of the summer - make the cards and play the games and such. And then at the end of August start to make some actions to get this club more active again.
I have a few ideas for what we should do.
1. Toots haven't been around for a while. I'm not suggesting of owerthrowing or anything, but we need to be able to make decisions and changes to the club without Toot's approval.
2. We should recruit more staff members, so we could recruit more members. And then we need to update the list of the staff to see what positions we had understaffed and such.
3. New fresh layout perhaps at the end of summer?
4. Maybe some more discussion threads. We have the bl-themed discussions and games, but we could have more about the persons of this club. Like what are you feeling right now/what was the last anime you watched/manga you read/who are you shipping right now... Anything like that could lift the activity.
5. Then when we maybe had more discussion threads, we could start revarding something like a member of the month. Someone who has been active in the last month (and active in participating the discussion, not just writing few word answers). Maybe we could give this member a free reign to request cards for the month or something?
What do you guys think?
What we should do and how and when?
Let's start making plans now when it's quieter in here, so we have a game plan to get this clup to the rise. |
