Zelaron 2006
 

I think we should compose an email and send it too all the members. Basically just saying "Hey, we're still here!". The contents don't really matter, you could say something about the new year, and zelaron being bla bla bla...
The real purpose is just to remind some of the older members and people who have signed up and just never posted that we're still active.
I once read a post of some random guy who said he just stopped by because of the birthday emails that get sent. So I think this could have some influence on a few people.

That is a pretty sweet idea, I just wonder if it is possible. If it is, I think it would be a great thing to do.

Of course it'll be possible.

We all get an e-mail on our Birthday saying "Happy Birthday", and everyone got an e-mail when they signed up saying "Thanks for Registering", so it should be possible to send out a "Happy New Year" e-mail. No reason why not.

I like it. And if it results in even one or two new active members, I would consider it a success.

I'm pretty sure it's easy enough?

Someone do it! QUICK! You good for nothing mods.

Like I told, KA, someone needs to write a good e-mail.

The e-mail:


Dear member, former member, ect.,


Hello, I would just like to wish you a Happy New Year from us at Zelaron. I would also like to tell you if you quit Zelaron, to COME THE FUCK BACK!!!.



Homosexual Love,
The Zelaron Staff.

How about Chruser's Happy New Year post? With a itsy bitsy smidgen of zest.

Dear Zelaronians,
It's the beginning of a brand new year and that means the continuation of the console wars! Playstation 2, Xbox 360 and the Revolution will all be making debuts in 2006 and what better of a place to discuss the excitement then http://www.zelaron.com ?
Thats not all 2006 is going to be bringing us though, what about the leaps and bounds to be made in the computer world? FPS? MMOs? RTS? Zelaron does it all!
So as of right now, I'm making your new years resolution for you. Come visit http://www.zelaron.com atleast once this year and if you don't find something interesting to talk about you can atleast post about how much you hate me in the Flame Forum. Cheers!

Although I must say, dar_win's is pretty good too.

Make a hybrid of the three and see what happens?

Plus the Xbox 360 debuted in 2005...

Ya but it was pretty fucking close chief. =P I just want someone to spam all the members. Damnit...

Don't expect anything to get done around here. No admins care. Bottom line.

its a good idea

Dear member, former member, etc.,

From Day 1, 01-14-2002, Zelaron has been taken a fancy of by many members, in fact, possibly you yourself has taken a liking to these beloved forums. Well, almost exactly four years has passed, and we still stand strong. Not as strong as some times, but for the most part we are one. 2006 is here and we show absolutely no signs of standing down. This was sent to you, and every other member. Not only to remind you that a forum whom many people love still stands, accepting and welcoming new members, but to remind the older members to come stop by. With this last concluding statement, we end this naturally with a Happy New Year, Zelaroners of '02,'03,'04,'05,and finally '06.

With best regards,
Everyone who wants to make Zelaron a better place, staff and members included.

I hope that makes sense :) I was told previously by teachers that i have skill with writing simple to comprehend letters. Now that i brought up 'comprehend', i just thought of a new idea.

Too much language; we have simple members, for the most part.

I think we should bring back the front page...I could write daily columns and shit.

Well first off the content of the letter hardly matters. Second, who cares if some of the people can't read at a 7th grade level. You can't make them ALL happy.

Oh my God, just do it you pussy.

Yeah seriously. Im in 8th grade too, and i was accepted into advanced comm arts for writing at a 12.0 grade level(a literary analysis paper). So you cant call me that stupid :)

I don't really care if the Admins don't do anything here anymore. I don't come here to be governed by rules, just to post my opinion.

That's not what we want the admins to do, though. We want them to try and improve the Zelaron experience any way they can. For WetWired to reject two or three typed-out e-mails that somebody else came up with because of stupid, petty reasons shows that he really doesn't give two shits about this site.

I say it's time for some new admins. Seriously, how long has it been now since any administration changes have been made? We need new people that will at least make the effort to improve this potentially great site.

Bleh, just my .02

It's been done.

I just don't think there is much more you can do to improve Zelaron, to be quite honest. Either that, or we are not smart enough to think of anything. Making new Admins would do nothing constructive, because Chruser still owns the rights, and WW is the only one allowed to touch the coding.. There's no point to argue over something that won't happen. I don't even think it would be a good idea if it did.

To the contrary, I want an e-mail actually likely to cause the people it is sent to to come back, rather than one that makes no sense, looks like some kind of standard form letter, or that will keep them from reading past the first line.

What's your suggestion? Do you have a type of thing in mind? A draft?

EDIT: Ooopsies...this comes across a bit indignant-ish. :p

I'm just interested in your ideas.

Ok, well you know what you want. So why not type it out really quick? Ultimately, you're the one that will send it out so why not make it to your standards by writing it yourself?

How about this?

I like it.

It's a good thing that Chruser doesn't use his gameslink email anymore, because I suspect that he's in for a few hundred e-mails from MAILER-DEAMON :killgrin: :grin:

I still get shit from that email address, and it's annoying as fuck.

The email I registered at Zelaron is no longer in use. I believe I can still check the email there, but I forgot the PW at least 2 years ago.. AOL sucks.

i got that letter from Chruser. It was what grav wrote. Brought a tear to my eye

Why thank you. People still seem to like to send me e-mails to the GamesLink address on occasion. No massive MAILER-DAEMON spam yet though.
