Mar 17, 2008

`zacthetoad introduced himself, as our new Staff and admin, and said hello to everyone:

G'day!

I felt it necessary to start my first news post with "G'day". Anyway, just thought I'd do a quick introduction of myself. I've been on deviantART for three years and a member of ~crikey for quite some time, so long in fact I don't remember exaclty when I first joined. I've attended a few of the devMEETS in Melbourne and have always been a keen supporter of the club. Hence why I was more than happy to accept this role when `Astarsia and `cdaile approached me.

Basically, I will be doing a fair bit of the administration work, mostly uploading submissions and sorting through the comments and mail. The majority of it will be behind the scenes and I look forward to making small changes none of you will ever notice. :slow:

I'm looking forward to working with the amazing guys on staff and interacting with you guys, the Australian community. Here's to another year of the most patriotic club on deviantART.

:ahoy:

I think there's ways you guys can make this a little easier on yourselves and lessen the burden of running multiple accounts because I know how hard it can be to keep them all updated.

Lose the list of members and the membership process, I don't think there's any need for the concept. If people want to join up, they watch the account, simple. It looks like this is one of the big administration issues and with that gone updates should be a little easier.

I'd also lose the #Crikey members list, if people want to see that then they can go into the chat room.

I think also some sexy new CSS would be cool, especially promoting the idea that people can submit deviations to the account, because that's something I'd personally like to see more of. And with the new found time, this shouldn't be too much of a problem anyway.

Hope that helps. :)

Its funny because i was thinking the exact same thing in regards to all of those points you raised. fact is, the club watches deviants too.. its kind of hard and its a hassle, because basically when you go into the watch list.. it takes a few mins to load due to the massive degree of peeps involved.

Im glad i had confirmation about this

[ps - did you get an email from `cdaile about crikey, of late?]

I'll talk to `cdaile and see if she's cool with that idea, because if she is, i will happy extinguish that wretched watch list lol once and for all! :dance:

Yeah, I didn't even know you guys watched people. There's no need for that. :slow:

I did get the message via Facebook, and I did respond but haven't heard back. :lol:

yeah I don't have a member list on *brisvegas even though I get people asking how to join all the time.

The member list is pretty much the list of people who watch the 'club'
