Board News week 14, 22nd to the 28th of May


Banners: The New Banners are in place and the 8th placed banner will change every week, thus everyone who entered into the comp will grab a slice of the glory, but not as much as the top 7 banners which will go unchanged every week.


Board SATS: More S(T :Wink1: )ATS up later tonight.

Buttons: The board buttons have changed a little when you put the mouse over them they ought to change a little. Problems with it please let us know. The buttons are just the normal Add reply things.

They normally look like this:





But when you put your mouse over them to click they should change to this:





Anyone not seeing that, please post about it here. First off give it a few secs to load up, espicially if your on Dial Up. (Rolly)


LOST: The final episode is due to air in a matter of days, when the series has finished I expect a lot of shocked faces (knowing J.J’s other work it will be very good) please confine the talk into the correct areas

DOMster: This is where all the OLD topics are moved too, mostly ones like birthdays etc. If you can’t find what you looking forward please check there first.

Poll:
All suggestions that have been hinted to either myself or a mod since the board has been active. Please if you have some feel free to either PM myself or a mod or simply post about it here.


User Groups: I did think at the start it was fun to keep it hidden but by now most of you will be aware of that fact that people change colors as there post count increases…so for the current level of posts here is a list
Guest : Not much, cant see all of the board and get a face full of annoying ads. >W<
Validating: Temporary limbo before accounts can be checked out, able to send 5 PMs and again not all of the board can be seen.
0 – 5: You’re just a limited member with basic privileges
6 – 99 posts: you’re still a member with basic privileges, although you do get to alter your member title.
100- 299: You change to blue. Access to the special members area is given, more PM space, ability to remove the “Edit” text, and granted the rank of bronze
300- 499: You change to shiny silver, again more PM space, longer posts editing times, and granted the rank of silver. Also less flood control time.
500 - ????: A darker shade of yellow or as some like to call gold, coats your user name for all to see, less flood control, greater PM space, and access to the board when its offline and great respect from your shiny new gold rank.
???? - ???? : The ability to upload files into your posts, greater PM space, able to change your titles of topics, view and contribute to the offline board.
???? - ????: The final rank, all of the above with the ability to chose your own user color, plus several other things, but to write about that would be telling. :devil2:


Vacancies:
Below is a list of needed personal, for either D and F or external projects. If your interested PM me. Please bare in mind that some of the applications will have to strip off and sing a merry dance. Nah only joshing, but some of the jobs are only going to be pulled off by personal experience, so if you don’t have a clue and the job requires something you don’t have please don’t volunteer, similarly please only submit applications if you will be able to do the job.

*Writer (s) wanted. In particular regarding LOST, experience would be a desired trait, but co written pieces are acceptable. Estimated work load (including research) 3-4 hours a week.

*Temporay Dominic and Friends Co – ordinator. It would seem that Mandy is too busy with here new practice to adequately fulfill her role as Banner Collector and world events poster. So I’m looking for a temp, which could evolve into a permanent position at a later date, if wanted. Jobs included:
- Receiving Banners from D and F members over a set period, then hosting them into a account, hence someone with photobucket etc will be needed.
- Setting up the banner poll when collection reaches high enough members.
- Checking and adding events to the D and F calendar.

No experience is needed, just someone who is eager and positive.

Estimated workload a week 1 - 2 hours

* Graphic worker (s) – willing to design banners and buttons for external projects.
- good collection of pictures and experience is required.

Estimated workload a week, currently information is limited/unknown


If your interested in any of the above PM me and give me a few reasons why you think your be good at it. :thank1:


If you have any suggestions please post them up or PM myself or a mod. (Rolly)



Thanks very much for reading and being part of D and F, have a fantastic week. :GrinDance:


Its coming…soon………

May 17th Tuesday – 108
May 18th Wednesday – 121
May 19th Thursday – 134
May 20th Friday – 151
May 21st Saturday – 58
Total posts: 785


Week 1 total; 1048 (DATA HERE) (however this was a 9 day listing) If a 7 day rule is followed the post total would have been 904 this is the total we will use in board comparisons from week to week.
Week 2 total; 722 (DATA HERE)
Week 3 total; 777 (DATA HERE)
Week 4 total; 835 (DATA HERE)
Week 5 total; 501 (DATA HERE)
Week 6 total: 577 (DATA HERE
Week 7 total: 509 (DATA HERE

This Weeks total; 785

MEAN (average number of posts per day) 112

RANGE (The highest and lowest scores listed and then taken away to give the range of posts) 151 – 58 = 93



Objective Interpretation (Facts)


May 20th (Friday) with 151 posts was the best day this week. The worst day was May 21st (Saturday) with 58 posts. A difference of 93 posts with the average posts count per day reaching 112 (39 up from last week.)

As the week progressed the post count maintained an evenly constant close number; for most of the week the total post counts remained close together bar Sunday and Saturday which were the only two days to fall below 100 posts a day, making the total’s weeks posts 785.


This is a 54% increase on lasts week’s postings, taking this week to 3rd place out of 8 weeks of chart data. With this week only 119 posts from the top spot.


Subjective Interpretation (My view only)

Week starts off slow, but as we have already predicted the weekend’s always seem less busy, i.e. Sunday and Saturday were the quietest days, of a otherwise fantastic week. :nany:

Its Interesting to see that the worst and best day run alone side each other this week, I have no explanation for the week doing so well other than everyone being D and F happy. :hee:

As always I'd be more than happy to hear your ideas. Post em up. :YES:

I'm happy to see the board is slowly picking up. School is starting to come to a close, and I even have more time to spend here.

ooh and I voted for a website to go along with the site. :)! I love making websites, and owned a few in the past, so if you would ever need help with anything in that department, let me know!

Rich, what exactly would the writers have to write about? Is it episode summaries, characterdescriptions or something else that you have in mind?

In any case, I'm interested, and will surely like to spread the qualities of LOST through writing. It can even be semi-academic, considering my university-background *puts on wise-looking face* :hee:

I think you'd be good at it. Especially since you see things that we probably don't. I't brilliant, you could use your study (I wanted to say opleiding, but don't know the word) right away.

I mean, we could turn lost inside out with this site and give people some truly insightful information. :clap: Woow, I'm so excited about it already.

It does sound like a good, cant offer to help. Sorry, but I'll back you all they way guys.


Also nice to see us in 3 place last week, it has been quite of late. :(
