Request for help and idea's for promoting the board

feeds@yuku.com (hannah kipje) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:59:53 GMT

When James was doing his play, the traffic on the board was already lower than usual, but now that the play is over and he has no films out soon it has dropped to an all time low. I only did some promotion for the board in the very beginning, and after that it has been going steadily on it's own. But I think we could use some new blood in here.

What are Locked/Hidden forums?
We have some forums on the board that are not open to lurkers or newbies. Some of those are hidden.
An example of the forum that is closed for guests lurkers and newbies but still visible on the board is the Long Time Members Only forum.
An example of a forum that is hidden for guests, lurkers and newbies is the The YUKU team is getting closer to ending YUKU's beta status. This means that they are eliminating software bugs and making the format more stable for its users. Until recently, YUKU has hosted ad-free communities. But they have began to work with advertisers in order to pay for the ability to host the communities. The ad-supported version of Yuku is still free to users. If, however, a member of JMMB hates ads and wants to prevent them from showing up on our board,...

Emilie is stepping down as Admin (was:A promotion for Emilie)

Yesterday I told Emilie to sit down and imagine me on one knee in front of her holding a little box.. And then I popped the question.
AND SHE SAID YES!!

So as from today Emilie has been promoted to Admin. That means she can basically do all administrative things I can do on the board and I now have a partner in crime to lead this board.

Adding some help to the board

I have just promoted Angy and Emilie to 'Board Watchers' although we may still change that title when we come up with a better one.
They help me with decisions to be made around the board. They also have moderator powers, so they can help me with that, but as you already know, there is not that much moderating on this board to be done, but they may go into your posts for the same reason I do: to fix...

How to join

feeds@yuku.com (hannah kipje) — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 00:57:16 GMT

To join the messageboard, you first need to register with Yuku. Be careful though, because apparently it asks for your first and last name, but that is where you should actually fill in your nickname!

Once you have registered properly and are logged in, you can post in the forums. You will get a request to confirm your email adress when you try to post for the first time. But after that you will be good to go.
From your first post on you are added to the memberlist (and count)...

Hello everyone, welcome to the James McAvoy Message Board

To start off I need to say: I don't like rules. What I want for this board is that members will feel free to post whatever they want in a safe and judgement free environment and concentrate on having fun instead of on making sure they are not breaking any rules.

Report Yuku bugs (or other problems with the board) here

feeds@yuku.com (hannah kipje) — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:13:39 GMT

In this thread you can report any bugs you find on this board. I will make sure the builders of Yuku will know about them, and if they are already known, I will let you know what they have to say about the status of fixing it.

Even if you are not sure if it is a bug or if you are doing something wrong yourself, just post it in here, so I can figure out what the problem is and either help you solve it, or post it in the bug forum to get it fixed.

The first bug I found, is...

About YUKU

feeds@yuku.com (hannah kipje) — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:09:37 GMT

What is Yuku?
Yuku is a new message/discussion board environment. It is going to be the new environment for all the message boards on EzBoard, which is the world's largest discussion board network. Yuku is still being tested though, so it is officially still 'beta'. When I started this community I have doubted wether to start it on EzBoard or on Yuku, but since all boards on EzBoard WILL eventually be migrated to Yuku, and EzBoard bugs...
