Vague admin notice - Introductions - Competition

[machiavelli_imp]

Much to my annoyance, I have discovered that the current layout doesn't support tags and does not take kindly to a mile-long link list. Expect a bit of...renovating...in the coming weeks. Once tags are supported I can throw most of the title/header/format nuisance out of the window - mostly it was there to facilitate using the "text find" button

Since the silly introduction post was my idea ... should I just post an entry asking everyone to introduce themselves in a comment and answer a couple of questions or something? If everyone posts their own introduction entry it's going to spam the community completely. And, I don't know about all this admin stuff, is it possible to make the introduction post appear always on top, so new members can find it right away when they join?

Don't know about the captions; the problem might be that people refrain from posting funny pictures because they're too lazy to reward the best caption with a drabble or something. Although it would be nice to get icons and drabbles. Mhm. Also, how would this work? One entry with loads of comments? (One comment per picture, and then people can reply with possible captions?) Or several entries? Again, this might lead to complete spam orgies. Or one entry per week ("look, this week we found these funny pictures, please caption them")? Ah, I have no idea, I've never moderated a community or anything like

The single introduction post is a good idea! Just click "Edit" after the date and change it to 2110 or something, then it will always appear at the top.

That was the same problem I had. I was thinking of posting one thread for each picture, with captions in the comments, and doing it once a week or once a month. (There's always Himmler if we run out of amusing pictures, right?)

Okay, I'll try to do that later tonight. And hope that people will not ignore the post but introduce themselves. ;)

Mhm, I don't know, I suppose we all have an awful lot of funny pictures (as you said, there's always Himmler), which we would love to share; and on the other hand I doubt that everyone will have an idea for the one picture that got posted this week/month. I really don't know what would be the best way to do this.
