User talk:Blumchen

Welcome

Hello Blumchen! Welcome to AboutUs.

Great work - Your personal user page and BluStyle.net look amazing! You must certainly know what you're doing, so have fun and play around with wiki.

Feel free to continue exploring the wonderful world of wiki and be sure to let us/me know if you have any questions (you can talk to me via the message link below or join the AboutUs WebIRC here. Welcome to the AboutUs community - it's great to have you!

Have a most wonderful day!

Thanks!

Thanks, Kristina :) I've never actually used a Wiki before, so this is all trial and error for me. I'm glad it looks okay.

I'm not even sure if I'm replying in the right way or not though, haha. But thanks again. I still got lots of other stuff I need to add :)

Blu

Oh really?

I wouldn't have guessed that you hadn't used wiki before (and between you and me neither had I two months ago). Just one thing, when you want to message someone you will want to put it on their talk page because then it will alert them like this message will likely alert you (I just happened to notice your message to me by seeing it in recent changes but otherwise I wouldn't have known). But great work WikiLinking your name at the end of your message - I love it when people do that! Have a good one and let me know if I can help...

AdultContentPolicy

Hello again, I just came across the edit you made on the wiki page for Arpeggios-Hentai.org and I thought you might be interested in joining or viewing the discussion that is going on within AboutUs as we try to formulate a policy on adult content. It would be great to have you join the discussion and perhaps the consensus polling. It would be great to have your input. You can follow the link in the heading to see the page containing the current working draft of the policy as well as the current status of the process.

To particpate, please go to AdultContentPolicy. If the policy as written works for you, please put your name on the ActiveMember list with a YES status (copy one of the others). If it doesn't work for you, either directly modify the policy so that it does work for you and put youself as a YES status, or just put yourself as a NotYet status and put in your comment the concerns you have that need to be addressed by the policy before you are able to be a YES. Thanks! TedErnst

AdultContentPolicy

Hi Blu, your participating in creating the AboutUs AdultContentPolicy helps us build a stronger community. A lot of progress has been made and we have reached our GoThresholds. We are thrilled at the start of the 48 hour DoneTimer.

This means you should return to the AdultContentPolicy and review any changes that may have been made since you last saw it.

• If you still approve of the policy, no action is needed.
• If you are unhappy with the policy as is stands you will need to make a change to it soon.

Any edit will reset the DoneTimer. (this is ok as it is part of the process)

This is a critical time for the success of the new AdultContentPolicy. Your continued participation is needed to make sure we make the best decision we possibly can make right now. Please do advocate for the best possible policy!

Best,

MarkDilley

Featured WikiPage!

Hi User:Blu. I just discovered all the cool work you've been doing to your related pages and wanted to say great work -- not just on AboutUs, but you do some fabulous art work as well. Anyway, I just picked AbsoluteZeroProject.net as a featured WikiPage, so there's a blurb on our main page (which should be up for about 5 days or so) as well as a note on that actual page. Hopefully, this'll drive more people to see the cool things you're working on. -- TakKendrick | Talk

Help with Big Decision ... AboutUsLogo!

Hello Blu, there is a movement afoot to create a new version of the AboutUsLogo. I'd love it if you would come to AboutUsLogo and participate in creating this important decision about the look/feel for our site, after all ItsYourWiki! Warm Regards, Brandon CS Sanders

Storyteller's Bazaar

Hello Blumchen,

Have you paid a visit to TheStorytellersBazaar yet? If not, please do. It's jam packed with all sorts of writing activities. Read some of the contributions and hopefully they will inspire you to contribute too. The more you contribute the better the site will become. Come and have a look and enjoy. Tanwir Shah

WhoWeAre

Hi,

I would just like to tell you about the WhoWeAre consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.

The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.

Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. Tanwir Shah

NewSkin Beta Preview

Hello Blu!

We've noticed your contributions and are glad to be on the AboutUs team with you! As an ActiveMember your energy and ideas determine our future direction. One way that ActiveMembers stay "in the loop" is to participate in the beta previews of large new changes to the site before they are generally released.

Today we're starting a limited beta preview of an earthy NewSkin intended to reflect the alive and growing AboutUs community. The NewSkin is designed to feel wholesome and connected with the real world. This choice was made to reassure the many folks who feel that the internet is a "scary place" where mean people hide behind fake identities and shout insults at each other. We hope that the NewSkin evokes our values in a way that helps visitors and members alike feel grounded in true community.

We'd love your help putting the NewSkin through its paces! To give it a whirl you'll need to be logged in. Once you are logged in, go to "my preferences" | "skin" and select "design". Don't forget to then click the "save" button! You can always go back to the current skin by selecting "aboutus" via the same steps.

Your feedback on the new look for aboutus will help ensure that it has a maximally positive impact when we roll it out. Thanks for being a valuable member of the community, we look forward to your feedback on the NewSkin page!

Warm Regards,
the DevelopmentTeam
