Mission Statement and Board Upgrades (Member of Tapatalk)
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 1:32 pm
First of all, welcome to everyone.
PHILOSOPHY
Adam's fandom, to me, is meant to be fun and exciting! Lord knows the last 6 years have been an always-thrilling roller coaster ride! I would like this board to reflect the joie de vivre and acceptance which Adam always displays! My motto is "Live and Let Live" in real life and it applies here as well.
Like any community, different personalities make up membership of this board. Please respect each other AT ALL TIMES!
Think before you post... Here's an example:
John posts: "I think Adam should do ABC."
Paul responds: "That's silly! I think he should be doing XYZ!"
Or....
Paul responds: "Oh? I would think XYZ might be more beneficial."
Both of Paul's answers make his point. The first one turns the conversation hostile where the second just opens the lanes of back and forth opinion sharing.
THE BOARD
As many of you know, I'm an archivist and 'red sea' info fiend... This board also reflects that. I hope this board becomes a great source of information for members and non-members alike. Always check if there's a thread where you could post instead of opening a new one. The natural rhythm of the board will have less popular threads slowly working their way down the list, as it was at IDF. I have tried to create all the popular threads already, but you CAN add threads if you want to. If you do decide to open a new thread, only do so in the "Let's Talk" forum! The other forums are for archiving purposes!
I have, with the help of wonderful supporters, populated the existing threads with mostly 2015 stuff only. The posts have been brought in as quotes in order to retain the time stamps and authors of the posts intact. Now, that the board is live, you just post as you normally would on any board.
TRANSITIONING FROM IDF TO MTT (MADAMIMADAM TREASURE TROVE)
I realize that things are going to look weird at first, but trust me this board has loads of bells and whistles (with more to come)!
I have created The Welcoming Wagon thread where you can post comments, ask questions, commiserate with each other with how hard the transition is!
I'm hoping everyone will be more familiar with the 'how to' stuff by the time Ghost Town drops in just over a week from now.
HUGE THANKS
I want to thank my two Special Techie Angels without whom this board would never have been born!!!! Their patience with my ignorance of so many settings, bells and whistles is incomparable! My endless demands of the 'need to have', 'would like to have', 'would really, really like to have", "YTF do we need that" were all met with good cheer and all made to become reality within minutes... OK, so maybe not minutes, but you get the gist!!!!
I had one goal in mind, to be able to go live with this board a week before Ghost Town drops so everyone would have time to get comfortable.
I then proceeded to bring in stuff from IDF, my Treasure Chest of Links, the OP's of list of videos/videographers for the QAL tour, our popular threads at IDF and soon found myself drowning. There is no way that goal would have been met without the endless hours spent here bringing stuff from IDF by my two heroes: Tiki and Infinite!!!!!
Finally, Mark and VistaDiva brought in their threads that are such an integral part of keeping Adam's history intact!
To all you guys, my endless gratitude!!!!
