Zephyr Announcement!

Hello all, it's Unorthodox here, with a big announcement. If you haven't been paying attention to the now closed 'Forum Activity' thread, then it is with great pleasure I announce the plans for ZephyrStrats!

ZephyrStrats is our biggest project to date, and will most likely continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

What is this ZephyrStrats you speak of, you might ask. To give you the answer, I'll quote the creator of the project, the administrator himself, Ooka.

And how will all this information, plus more, be formatted?

Hello folks, it's Unorthodox here, and I'm addressing a big issue. If you have't noticed, we aren't the most active forums, which is okay; we are fairly new. However, most days of the week, we're lucky to get 3 people regularly posting, and 4 when Ooka has access to his internet.

And I know we have more than 4 people who actually post here- Just yesterday we had 6 different people post. That means we have the potential to be much more active than we actually are.

All I, as well as fellow staff, ask of you is to post as much as you can per day. 2 posts per day at a minimum would be a good goal to set for yourself. And why would you want to do this? If everyone is active, that means more people to talk to. If unregistered people see a somewhat active forum, they might join up, and so on and so forth.

And why would you want to do so? You could be among the first of a great site, as well as other possible future rewards. So go on, I implore you to make at least 2 posts a day. Don't...

Some amazing stuff has been going on behind the scenes here at Zephyr. We've gotten some great new features and additions that we really feel will help put Zephyr above all the rest. Here I'm going to outline a few of them, as well as some new stuff to come.

- Complete New Premium Theme
If you hadn't noticed, we have a completely new style for the forums. It's called Drift, designed and developed by Mike Creuzer. I think it looks great on the forums, and will be seeing some new changes to fit the Pokemon idea much better.

- Portal
We've installed a portal for the site to show the latest news right when you visit, so you'll be able to keep up to date just by viewing one page. It also shows some of the latest status updates, who's online, latest threads and more!

- Shortened Forum Size
A big problem with most new forums is they throw too many sections at the user which causes them to get lost in a huge area, when it can be compressed into just a few...

We're downing in activity.

Everybody has noticed this, I'm sure. I'd like to take a head count of absolutely every active member just so I/we can gauge what to do and how to up activity.

If you are an active member and are reading this thread, please just post something to dignify that you are still here. Don't spam this thread with one word responses; act intelligent.
