HAPPY NEW YEAR TOAP!

[/size][/center]

Dearest ToaP members,

We hope that everyone's had a safe and happy holiday, and would like to bring in the new year by introducing some new things to the site. First, we are going to hold our second Spotlight voting, but we are going to do it a bit differently than we normally do. Rather than using the form we post and re-posting it with your votes in the voting thread, the staff are going to have everyone PM MARILY with their votes. We will tally them up and announce the winners after the voting ends; that way, it's a bit more of a surprise! You guys have until January 10th and may not nominate yourself or any threads that your own character is involved in. Here is the form:

[b]Member of the Month:[/b]
[b]Female of the Month:[/b]
[b]Male of the Month:[/b]
[b]Thread of the Month:[/b]


The next thing we are bringing to the site is a brand new skin - courtesy of Chels! Any suggestions such as color scheme and pictures can be PMed directly to her. We will also be starting the house points over since we just deleted a bunch of people after the activity check!

The last and possibly the most exciting new thing is that the staff are hiring!. That's right, everyone! The site is growing all the time, and we've decided that we'd like to hire on some extra help because we're both busy and have lives outside the site as well. We will be hiring one new admin, and one new moderator. We do, however, have some requirements that you must meet if you want to apply:

1) You must have been part of the site for at least one month
2) You must be active with all of your characters (if you have more than one)
3) You must have had at least some experience in staffing a board.
4) You must be patient, friendly, and extremely welcoming.
5) You must be able to work as a team and not abuse your power as a staff member, otherwise you will be stripped of your position.

If you meet these requirements, please use the following form and PM it to CHELS. You have until January 10th, and we encourage everyone to apply! Please title your PM as Staff Application as well.


[b]Name/Alias:[/b] the one on your application
[b]Position:[/b] admin or mod
[b]How long have you been a member of this site?:[/b]
[b]Why do you think you'd be a good addition to our staff team?:[/b] you can make this as long and detailed, or as short and sweet as you'd like. but give us at least two good reasons please! this is where you would outline any staff experience you've had and anything else that you think will help us decide whether to choose you or not.

Thanks everyone!
- CHELS & MARILY
