Posted July 2, 201411 yr HI Guys!!!! Thought it might be an idea to let y'all know what we've currently got going on in the staff forum and give you guys a place to feedback on things at an early stage. It won't be regular but I'll probably put one up when we're thinking of new things or changing somethings and would like some feedback from you guys to help guide our discussions. So, the CRC. It's been promised for a while, and like most things in my life it got put on hold while i sat my exams. I do have another set coming up, the classes start in August and run through to November (This is the second and last set, I hope!), but I am aiming to get the CRC up before I head to the Commonwealths. (July 13th) Based on feedback you gave us a few months ago there are a couple of things we're looking at. Primarily the Veto. This evening I've started the latest round of discussions on changes. I'm looking closely at the feedback we got and I'm hoping to try and make a few alterations in the following ways: - Make it clearer to follow - Rewrite/combine conditions that are very similar - Provide further clarity on some potentially vague points - Promote discussion of potentials and new music across the forum and site. The latter point is going to take more than just a minor change to the veto, but that's something I'll come back to in the next few weeks once the CRC has been put in place. As to where I am with the actual CRC, this is roughly what remains to get it into a launch-ready state: - A slight tweak to the wording in the Hosting section of the rules to make it clearer. - Completion of the "definitive guide to BJSC" - Some general linking I am hopeful of getting most of what remains done over the weekend so this should, assuming there are no major disasters, be in place for BJSC LXVII! Non-CRC Business The feedback you provided is still being worked on, so hopefully we'll be able to post more about that soon.A new resource that will be integrated into the CRC post-launch relating to Country Profiles. It'll replace the who's who? information by providing more detail about a country (e.g. Name, Flag, Capital, Poster behind it, Peak Position, Debut Contest and a small write up). There will be more coming on this project around September time according to the rough timetable I have in my head. I'm looking to do a spot of research into each nation and do the write up myself but I will put out an appeal for info closer to the time.Spin-offs - No we haven't forgotten about them. They are still on our radar and Tyron has accepted a request to host Re:LOADED III. -- Any comments or questions about the above? Then fire away below. As always the Suggestion Thread and our PM inboxes are open to suggestions year round. We have some amazing people here and your welcome to our new posters and willingness to help them out has been absolutely lovely to watch so thank you for that! Basically the reasoning behind this thread is a desire to make the next 5 years better than the 5 that I have presided over so far. I'd like to start that with making things more open and transparent. I'm not about to start putting everything back to a vote like we were doing in my early days as BJSC mod, it never worked and nothing ever really happened, but I'd like to try and engage you guys more at an earlier stage of some changes and really to encourage you guys to bring forward any suggestions or idea's you have! Many thanks and much love, Phil x
July 2, 201411 yr Author CRC = Central Resource Centre. Basically combining a shit tonne of pinned threads into one so that all the key information people could ever possibly need about joining, competing in, or hosting BJSC is in one place rather than across 2, 3 or 4 different threads. (Not all in one post of course, that'd look awful)
July 10, 201411 yr All sounds great and the country profiles sound like a fantastic idea so I'm especially looking forward to them!
