Mod speaketh!

*calls meeting to order*

Hello everyone in McDonoughland. I have a few announcements I'd like to make.

First: I'd like to have any volunteers to beautify this place up (and the profile page) with a banner, pretty colors (since orange is Neal's favorite color for his beloved Syracuse - maybe something with a little orange in it), etc. I know there are a couple of tech savvy people out there and I'm looking at you. So let the creative juices flow! That way if Neal should ever stumble upon this place (God help us and him!), he would find a cool looking site and then run far away.

Second: TAGS!

Holy cow people! *gigglesnort* I just spent the morning fixing them. I ask you to please look at what we already have before making new ones. We really didn't need three tags for 'crazy dave' or three tags for Street Fighter and since this is the Neal comm, we don't need a tag for Neal McDonough icons. There were more duplicates and triplicates, but I think you all get the hint.

I've disabled the ability for anyone (except the mods) to make new tags for the time being. If you don't see a tag, please request one in your post and I'll approve it - or not. We're a small group and we're not inundated with posts, so we can keep our tags simple: graphics = wallpapers, manips, banners, etc.

I changed the tags for his movies and tv shows/guest appearances. You'll notice 'movie: street fighter', 'tv: tin man' and so on. I also put his characters into a category so it'll look like this: 'character: crazy dave'. Yes, I left it like that instead of 'Dave Williams' because I'm the mod.

Third: Last year I had tossed around the idea of doing a Birthday Book for Neal (Yes, I know it's about six months away). This book would contain graphics, fiction, drawings, what a character has meant to you, whatever you feel like doing (keep it clean of course). We would send it to him and show him that he does in fact have - FANS! That might be a scary thought to him with this group.

Is this something some of you would like to do to show your appreciation? You can start now if you want. We'll come up with a deadline to have all birthday submissions in so we can have time to put it together and mail it off. We would need to come up with size limits. I was thinking of using a photo album to put the submissions in. If you want to just send a card, that's fine too. Maybe we can pimp this out on some of the other comms that are Neal related in some way.

Affiliations: If there are other mods here and you would like to affiliate with us, please let me know, because we would love to affiliate with you! *glances at tinman_fic and others*

This concludes our meeting. :D

If you have some images in particular you'd like in a banner, I can make one. I can also do a layout and profile. Should be fun, since I've never worked with orange before...

Oh, and mr_and_mrs_cain might benefit from an affiliation... ;)

Love the idea of a birthday book - any thoughts as to deadline/means of submission for those of us overseas?

EEK! How could I forget about the Neal birthday project! Gasp! I shall go in search of my many many Neal pics and collage them. :D Should we start a Neal birthday community???

Love the birthdaybook idea. I have been playing around in Paint lately and already have some thing laying around that need finishing touches

[xotinwomanxo.livejournal.com]

I love that bday book idea!! :)

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! They were getting a bit crazy.

Cool! I don't know how many people would get involved, but we'll see.

*noms*

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

I'll go through my files and send them to you. Thanks. :D

Oooh...sweet!

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

That I'm not sure about yet, but for now I would say no later than December 31. Only because we'll need time to put it together and then ship it out.

Should we start a Neal birthday community???

I don't think we need to go that far. We can do everything in this comm.

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

*high fives*

[goflo.livejournal.com]

the more Neal the merrier. :D But we could do everything here.

[moony-blues.livejournal.com]

*ahem*

;)

ok, i can not believe i'd been "gone" from the comm for that long! BUT, i do want to thank you for fixing up the tags. i DO try to go through all my comms from time to time, but i guess i missed this one.

very weird about that whole thing too. thanks again. :)

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

I figured since I didn't hear from you, it was okay to fix the tags...then I found why I didn't hear from you. ;)

That whole thing was very weird.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

well, it's all very cool anyway.

i think it was a case of the gremlins.

[gatechic.livejournal.com]

That's good. The tags were getting out of hand. There were some that had four tags for the same thing. o.O

I think it was too.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

O.o

i try to control that, but it's good that only the mods can add tags now again.

i have to go through the tags over at my obsessions comm....

I'll be willing to make an layout for this place. Well, I'll look for an layout and than make a header for it--is what I'll really be doing.
