[size=8]WEEKLY UPDATE 1st issue, 2008[/size]

[size=6]-What has happened recently?[/size]

Happy New Year!
First of all I want to say happy new year to all of this Weekly Update’s readers! 2007 was a great year for TWC.
Mainly, I think we owe this forum community’s still-present activity to For Honour and Glory and the extremely exciting RPG based in that fantasy world. FHaG really has become what I had dreamed it would be – a world we create together, by writing, discussing, drawing and role-playing. Truly an amazing and huge collaboration project, which is still growing and I hope that some of the new members may find it intriguing as well. Do not fear if it is all too overwhelming, newbies! Even I only know about a fraction of all the things going on and if anyone really has the knowledge of almost everything in FHaG it would be our Loremaster Ariakas – so ask him if you have questions. That’s what I do!

For the year of 2008 I only hope that TWC will remain at its current glory, because I think we have really achieved a lot and I realistically think we can and should keep it up! As long as we stay loyal to the cause, it can not fail – and yes – this is a message to me as much as to everyone else!

Keep recruiting, keep writing, keep posting, keep having fun and we will prevail! Current goal: survive till the birthday in March ;)

Many new (active) members!
Woah! I think we have had the most successful recruitment period since…a long time. We have recently had many new registrations and if we are lucky, some of them might stay active – at least some of them seem to have come in to the TWC spirit all right and I sincerely hope they will stick around! Always good with some fresh meat.
Credits to HIC and Gorfang for the recruitment – those are the ones I remember that have brought us some members. Well – let’s hope they stick around! :D

The FHaG Wiki
A little advertisement: The Wiki really rocks, because it is easy to find stuff about a particular subject because of the “tag” system as well as the great search engine! It makes finding articles, stories or just details on an isolated matter such as “the Court” much easier than any other way. I have used it a lot – for example when role-playing or when I wrote the story about the Corsairs. I just urge people to put up their stories, because it will make the search engine and the tag system even more effective, since we will have all works up there!

Please – every story/written work posted nets you 10 posts :P

The link can be found in the For Honour and Glory section on the frontpage.


Moderator shifts
I feel that we need to shift around some of the moderators and admins, since some of them have gone inactive and it is all a bit of a mess with all those groups. I think the current top brass consisting of Ariakas, Andy and myself should remain intact, but I was thinking that perhaps Lachlan could be demoted seeing how he is not so active any more. Instead his position could be taken by another active member or remain vacant until we have more members. Put this up for discussion, people!

Small rank changes
I made some small rank changes so that there is some difference between the top 21 members instead of they all have the same amount of stars. It is necessary when we have grown so much :P

If you do not like it, state your reason. You might persuade me!


[size=6]-Interesting Stats[/size]

As interesting as they can get (or something):

Our members have made a total of
Last update:_ 106,859 posts
Now:_______109,755 posts


We have 245 registered members (9 more since last update! Holy shit that’s good!)
The newest member is Gormok (who is actually very active so far)
Most users ever online was 185 on Jun 29 2007, 11:21 PM

And I have no clue how we got that “Most users ever online” record. Scary stuff :ph43r:


[size=6]- The Lord’s Opinion[/size]
I said what I had to say in the New Year section. I just hope we can keep this community up, because it really is so freaking amazing! Whether we are joking about Lathaon (or me :angry: ) in the Off Topic, discussing if there are necromancers in the White Counsil, recruiting for internet-games, telling what music we are listening to, debating who is closer to Santa or simply associating, then this site has a small bit of fun every time – at least for me. And that makes it worth keeping alive :)

-What’s about to happen?
Stay active, stay good, stay random and make me proud! :P

Discuss
Discuss my entries here and have fun!

Enjoy the community!

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

Perhaps people would notice it moreso if you pinned the current weekly update topic.

Good point, but in reality I think pinned topics are noticed less than non-pinned ones as they "seem to always be there" and people wouldn't bother.

My observations only of course.

Im sure I posted here yesterday....



But yeah, all those people online was when we had all those guests, who were actually bots according to what someone quite smart said. Probably Alex :P

Haha - that 185 thing is a complete mystery. After it happened I looked for ways one (Ariakas or Andy) could have hax0rzed into it and edited but found no way - at least not in the admin CP.

So the most credible thing would be a huge amounts of spam bots or something :blink:

Screws up the real statistics though <_<

And thank you, Gormok ;)

Is that a challenge? Have you not seen the Youtube footage of me? At my family New Year's Eve party, where I mercilessly chased my four year old cousin around in a drunken rage, attempted to hit him with a plastic, illuminating lightsaber whilst yelling 'Piñata, piñata!', before tripping over my own pair of slippers and falling over, crushing the fleeing juvenile as I did so? Well, neither have I.


Let's make cancer feel foolish!

Heretic! How dare you tell such lies! Of course Gormok was sincere. He has no reasons to suck up! He is a good guy who has stayed active and is nice and is an aussie in New Zealand and all the good things in the world!

So leave him alone or taste my banhammer! (jk)

Aye, I did say it was a load of bots. Most likely because it coincided with my making of the WikiPedia page and my advertising drive which took me across Spice Girls to Adamm's Family forums.

Sorry. What's your real name anyways? James? What can I call you so that I do not have to count j's every time I try to spell your name?
