ForewordHello fellow A'st1 International members!
As a tradition, we will be making monthly announcements to keep you all informed of what's going on with the forum. It will be every 1st of the month, so please be on the lookout for it.
First off, we'd like to welcome ALL the newcomers here on the forum. Please do your best to be active
without spamming. There is more on spamming further into this announcement, so please read it! We know the boys haven't been active but please stick with them. We believe in A'st1 and we hope you do too. Once their activities start up again, we will be doing a whole lot more.
You may or may have not noticed, but the forum has gone through quite a few changes. Because of this, there are quite a few announcements for this month, so please read through this announcement carefully.
********
[1] STAFF CHANGES:Firstly, please welcome our two newest
graphic artists:
Satsuki and
you123As some may have noticed already, we no longer have a technician.
Kirra (kirra12) has resigned due to several issues that have been occurring within the forum.
Nicole (nicole xoxo) and
Faye (Faye) has also resigned as mods due to personal reasons. All three are now what we call an
“Elder.” It simply means that they are retired staff members, but that does NOT mean they are no longer a part of us. They are still VERY much part of the team (but please do not contact Kirra about technical problems with the forum, as she no longer has the ability to change anything). We'd like to thank them for there services as mods, and hope that they'll continue on supporting the boys and the forum in the future.
[2] SUBBING TEAM:The mods have been trying to revive the subbing team in an attempt to make the forum more active. At the moment, we are in desperate need of
TRANSLATORS:
If you are fluent in
Korean, Chinese, AND/OR Japanese, please PM either
x_cantabile or
Sarah to apply. The only thing we ask is that you are an active member and that you will be committed to your responsibilities as a part of the subbing team. We really want to sub more videos for all of you to enjoy.
[3] RULES:There are some rules we would like to re-enforce, as well as some that have been revised that we need to bring to your attention:
[*]
SPAMMING: There is entirely too much spamming going on. We’ve been trying to be nice and have been letting it slip, but it has gotten out of control. Starting now, we will be harsher about spamming.
YOU WILL BE WARNED if you spam, and if you continue to spam after being warned multiple times, you will be
suspended. If you STILL spam after your suspension has been lifted,
your account will be DELETED. We do not want to resort to this, so please respect our rules. For those of you who don’t remember or haven’t read the forum rules please go
here, spamming is considered as:
going offtopic or holding conversations in threads that were not meant for. Please carry on lengthy conversations via
P.Ms or other methods, as we can't control what goes on outside the forum, but
NOT in boards or threads on the forum.[4] ACTIVITIES:During the month of October, we will be planning something for In Kyu's birthday. Unfortunately, the birthday project for Jangmoon was not a success due to inactivity and limited time and funds. We truly hope that this month we can plan something for In Kyu and actually carry it out.
The ideas for Jangmoon’s birthday will be used in the future, so when member activity increases, we can hopefully see it through next time.
Please join us in the activity for In Kyu. We will do our best to make it fun for all of you.
[5] NEW LAYOUT:This month's layout was done by our
GPX Team. Thank you for their hard work, and hope that they'll make even more great graphics/layouts. THANK YOU! ^0^
********
So basically, please continue on supporting the forum and the boys, and remember that the staff members of the forum will try and do everything to make everything more fun and enjoyable :)
Thank you!!
It’s A’ST1 mods :lovebox:
