    Help Needed for 10th Birthday Feature!

    The 10th birthday of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) is July 26th, 2008 and your help is greatly needed to celebrate it! We are in need of now only ideas for a greater feature, but also volunteers to put those ideas into practice and available for inclusion in the feature. A logo is also needed.

    Therefore, if you have an idea for the feature, are available to assist if not lead the creation of a feature or both, please post your interest, availability and specifics in this thread ASAP! As of this initial post it's just three weeks away, and it would be ideal to have all items finalized and ready to go a day or two before then.

    Without the community's assistance, the birthday feature for ACS will be far too sparse for marking any of its birthdays let alone this decade milestone.

    Certainly items for the feature could be added into August -- nothing written in stone that it all needs to be available for the 26th -- but some substantive items should be ready for the actual birth date. I have some thoughts for some items, but by no means is it an exhaustive list... ideas for what to include, in addition to those willing and able to see to their inclusion, is needed.

  4. Birthday logo
  5. "Year in Headlines" (as done in previous celebrations)
  6. Staff Views (past and/or present)
  7. Community Member Reflections/Remembrances

    I'll be happy to help by perma-banning several individuals that drop the collective IQ of this site.

    But that would leave just me and I'd be lonely by myself.

    That statement is an oxymoron.

    Tme, Apolyton is a family saite.

    A family, because we all have some problems, backtalkn or speak out when maybe we sghouldnt

    Apoluypn for me since joing yearsa ago, has been a place to unwind

    after a hard days work, i fibd joy platyting civ and posting.

    trueb 5that i have also let myself down with inappropriate behaviour. but poly is a part of me.

    my sweetie told me i shouldnt be such an @$$HOLE, she told me i have had mopre fun here thjan anything other site, EVER!

    She reminded me i can be a real Pr!ck at times, and siometimes cannot take iut as i disgh it out


    she is right

    but poly is a wonderful community

    mot saying everyone is perfect here, not at all

    but we come top depend opn one another

    heck, me and locutus have had our ups and downs, but i have such respect fior his abilkities and comittment to Poly, he will nevber know

    he has helpwed me sop many times on scenario design, countlerss times

    Apolyton is a place we all contribute to

    not sure the life expectancyof a website, but cheers to Poly for the freat dedication, of Markos and DanQ coming together and the my lil buddy fromn the greart white north forgibng forward!

    and ming and rah, botyh cornerstones and necessary components of our hjome

    I would be way out of line not to recognize solver, a real nice fella behind the scene!

    for the time i spent on staff as a news contributor and moderator, was a real blessibng

    thanks for the great memories and hope to hsave many more!

    Grandpa Troll may have said:
    "Tme, Apolyton is a family saite. [..]"
    But after seeing Murg's post, I'm not so certain.

    I was not expecting that.
