I'm on holiday from today (22/06/2012) 'til next Saturday (30/06/2012) and will probably be back online on the Sunday (01/07/2012). Posting that here 'cause there are a few things that I'd like to get sorted! This sounds like work (and it is) but if we can clear this up in one big "meeting" then we can start on a lot of things.
The plan is to have this "meeting" in the Private Chat room on TeamSpeak on Sunday 1st July at 16:00 GMT. This isn't a secret; Private Chat just helps us stay on topic. If you want to be involved in the meeting please express your interest below or let me or any of the staff know on TeamSpeak before it starts. You can openly discuss this with any and all members and are encouraged to do so. Listen to what people's opinions are and share them with the rest of the community. This is about listening to the community and all pitching in on what we think is best.
Here are a few bullet points - it'd be great if you could think about them, share them with those who are interested and get ready to shout points at me in the meeting.
