Hello all! Your resident posting of overdone announcements here. This is a slightly delayed, hopefully monthly occurrence that will keep you informed on goings on at the site that don't require their own posts.
The big ones today:
1. Donations
2. Monthly Challenge
3. User sharing forum
4. Social media and recruitment
So lets take them in that order. But first, A thanks to each and every one of you from the staff. We're growing bigger, faster than we've ever expected and in terms of participation, recruiting and voting, you guys (and gals) are unbeatable!!! 157 members, second place on TopRPsites and we're not even two months old.
1. Donations:
Two things to say here. First, you guys have been extremely generous. If you see a member with a red and gold name, give them a hug, a pat on the back, oral... whatever you can to thank them for helping out. Secondly, because of this, we are planning to put the money to good use. At the end of the month, we plan to buy an annual sponsorship of TopRPsites. This saves us A LOT relative to buying monthly. We aren't there yet from donations, but the admins will split the difference between us. That said, if you are AT ALL inclined to donate or think you might this year, before the end of this month would be the time it does the most good. Any donations after that point will be going to servers and to add ons. The sponsorship gives us extra votes, advertising on the site and most importantly, new members!!!
2. Monthly Challenge
We're still awaiting more participants in our monthly challenge for May. There is no minimum length or skill level. Even if you don't think you can win, it let's you test your abilities. If you are interested, but lacking time, message me. We are considering extending the deadline slightly.
3. We're considering adding a forum section for users to have casual chats or to share things like journals, blogs, off-site writing, art and hiatus's. If there's anything we're missing on that list, let us know.
Oh... the theme is "Sanctum Tavern", name suggestions for the sections are welcome.
4. Social media and recruiting.
The Inner Sanctum, like an aged grandmother, is finally on Facebook and Twitter. Though hopefully not quite so close to expiring as any of them... Anyways, links are below.
Twitter. Follow us @sanctumstaff
Facebook.
These will both be used to announce any maintenance.
Recruiting:
Two things to mention here. First, if you recruit someone to the Sanctum, please let us know. There's a medal for you. And second, we strongly encourage you to spread the word. We've grown a lot so far do to word of mouth and we'd like to keep doing so.
Best regards to all,
The Sanctum Staff
