Who are the new Secondary Mods?

I and my team of mods have settled on who we want for the secondary mods.

They are GCat (Kit for short) and Erithan along with two secondary mods from the old tinsel thread; Michelle and Evangeline.

Give 'em a congratulatory cheer!

Hope you four enjoy working on the Gifting of Prize Dragons thread!

Past News of March 2013


3/23/2013 - 

Applications for Secondary Mods now CLOSED. I apologize for the lateness!!!! RL went and got all hectic for a few days.

There is new artwork, I will add it when I do the tweaks.

I also plan on more tweaks to the thread - I have gotten feedback on the way things are now, so I am going to do my best to ultimately make the thread pleasing and all that - but know that I cannot satisfy or please everyone. That's just logically impossible.

OY! Due to some RL stuff going on with me, it's been taking me a while to get to the stuff on here. I have not yet done the tweaks that I wanted to do with the basic thread itself. That will come later this weekend. 

HOWEVER! This thread now has its very own gmail address! Just in case the pm inbox fills up (which I doubt will ever happen, becuase, hey, I'm someone who archives and stuff to keep it as empty as possible) - but any archiving of the PM stuff will now go to THAT gmail address. The gmail address will be accessible by myself and the primary updaters ONLY. I also will be creating an account with Google's image site to host all of the thread's images. Again only accessible by myself and the primary updaters.

I'm doing these things so that should something ever happen to me or I want to step down or whatever craziness happens - the thread can keep going and going like the Energizer Bunny! I'm looking to see this thread outlast the end of the time! :P Ok, maybe not quite THAT long... but long-term, yes.

We are in the process of speaking with the possible secondary mods and this will take about two weeks. We should have an announcement of who will ultimately join Michelle and Eva as secondary mods roughly around April 20 (maybe earlier). Michelle and Eva have graciously decided to remain with the team. The others from the old thread are no longer mods of this thread other than these two and Coyote/Lady Cat - and myself.

Shortly after that announcement is made, the new secondary mods will need training to get their skills tuned just right for the approval/deny. They have to learn not only just how to approve or deny - there are other things they need to be trained on. 

I don't think it will take much time and very soon after that, the shimmer scale lists WILL open - I will give the warning that the lists will open 7 days in advance. That means you all will have time to study the rules and faq. The proofs will be changed as well sometime during those 7 days, so don't expect to have a copy n paste application ready to fire into the thread. ;)

Cheers!
