Admins Meeting: January 2013

[Samantha Jackson]

Hey there. We just need a new admins meeting. So I'll allow Lauren to list the discussion points for us all.

Hey there admins! Time for me to post that list.

• TACKLING INACTIVITY:

[/i] We need to really get this sorted, guys. Maybe a new rule about a minimum of 5 posts a week? That isn't a lot at all, and they could be anywhere on TEH.
[/li][li]THE HOUSE POINT SITUATION:[/i] Yeah, you may have noticed the HUGE gap between the Houses in the first sidetable. Gryffindor is on 225, which is fabulous, except that Hufflepuff and Slytherin are both on only 85. And then Ravenclaw is on a abysmal 5 points. We need to figure out a way to even up the odds, otherwise competing will become very boring.
[/li][li]AFTER SEVENTH YEAR:[/I] Ashleigh asked me ages ago what will happen to those of us who have Seventh Year characters. After a brief conversation with Elly last month, we thought maybe we could save a backup file of all the 7th year accounts, like their stats, and write backgrounds on them for new members to see the next lot of students to pass through TEH. We could do it for those top students that passed throug in the past, too. And then, after sending the details to the people, we could delete your accounts so that you can recreate new characters to enroll. Sound good?
[/li][li]POSTING PICTURES/TWITTER FEED/FACEBOOK PAGE:[/i] I've been asked whether there could be a section where people could post stuff about their life such as pictures on TEH rather than in the Student Hangout, as it gets quite crowded in there. Sure, I replied. It sounds good, right? And to set the scene, people could take pictures of things around them as part of showing other members what their character's home is like? As for the Twitter feed, there seems to be a few followers, and we all know that Twitter is the next big thing. If any of you want to help me and leila and elly post from there, just reply, and I'll send you the details. The facebook page is a bit... Neglected. Please remember to post from there!

If you guys can think of anything else that you want to discuss, or if you have any ideas that could improve TEH, please don't hesitate to post them below.

I'm so out of the loop that I don't know the new House points system. I would love to help Hufflepuff reach the top again but that bring me to activity: While I used to go here everyday to check that stopped ages ago and now I'm the inactive one: I think that even 3 posts weekly would be enough to get us all here but not too much that we'd accidentally miss out.
I like the idea of a homage to the 7th years but do they need to be deleted? I'm not sure- could we have an adult area - hogsmeade, knockturn alley and diagon alley could be some of the boards with subboards for other areas. I'd like to see how life would progress.

I know that on ITM we have the OotP sideplot (came up with by Lauren) and it is all adults and is quite fun too!

[Samantha Jackson]

Oh, good points. Lauren updated the House Points with the Quidditch points, so that's a bit better now. I think Lauren mentioned that some people wanted to use their email addresses for new accounts. Shall we say that they can choose what they want to do?

[Ylana Thomson]

Yeah, I did update that. I completely forgot to update the Points table from the Quidditch Cup.

Good idea Leila: we should see who wants what and so on. That would be fair.

[Ylana Thomson]

Okay guise, I discussed with Elly and she believes that we're on the right track; nearer to summer, I'll send out emails & PMs to the 7th Years asking what they want to do for the next year; I'll send out another newsletter about inactivity and such and a general update. Thanks for your input guise
