I have a few updates for you, including some new (and removed) staff, regular posters, more information about the life of Using Your OS, and 3.7 features. Read on for more.
Updated Staff
I have removed the inactive staff members; the only staff you would see on the Forum Leaders page is me and Mesmer (not counting VIMs). The other staff members haven’t even logged in for more than months, and definitely haven’t posted. If they want their positions back, however, I would be glad to accept.
I also want to introduce you to our new Super Moderator: Mesmer. After expressing his desire to become a staff member here, I could not say no. He is also a Moderator at CompuTalk, and he has been a moderator at another forum for over 3 years. With his experience, Mesmer is especially ready for his duties. Please welcome him to his new position.
Posting Progress
Posting has picked back up again, with regular posts from Paul, Shay, and tracer9. We now have over 1,900 posts and I will post a congratulations thread upon reaching 2,000 posts. I would also like to mention that we have our first member referral: Shay. He was referred to Using Your OS by Paul, so I would like to congratulate both of them.
A Bit of History
The official starting date for Using Your OS is October 31, 2006 (coincidentally on Halloween). Using Your OS has been around for more than a year, and during that time I have seen periods of activity and no activity. I think that with the recently new features, (chat, 3.7, etc.) Using Your OS will bring in activity from all over the world.
I do have something special planned this year for Using Your OS’s 2 year anniversary; I might release a bit more information as time goes by.
vBulletin 3.7
This will be the last blog post about vBulletin 3.7; more information about 3.7 can be found on the forum. You can see in Tidbit #22 that vBulletin 3.7 has been officially released by Jelsoft. Many of the mods that were for 3.6.x are now available for 3.7. You can expect a new thread every weekend about a new feature in 3.7 that impacts you as a member.
That’s it for this tidbit. I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I just wanted to have one big blog post with a lot of information in it. Also, if you have subscribed to the forum newsletter, you should be receiving the next edition shortly.
