Missed a lot here yesterday I realise.
I'm very disappointed that Monday should not be considered our official opening.
Sure, the great party is on the sixth. But why can't we declare the board officially open on Monday?
And although I definitely would not e-mail people I don't know (as that would be spamming), everybody knows how I feel about letting information trickle down by word of mouth.
Edit: read up a bit more carefully.
See if I get that right:
- we'll have a welcome thread up in Info on Monday
- forums can start their own celebrations on Monday
- there will be an announcement about being open on the frontpage on - Monday?
So - what do we do for the great party on the sixth?
To sum it up: we let people in freely on Monday, so that's the official opening and I think we should make sure they are made welcome from the start. Let's not make it seem we are just letting them in early, but can't really be bothered to welcome them just yet!
I don't understand at all what the event on the 6th is going to be about.
(And what are you planning that includes the oldbies, Jny?)
