what help do you need?
it's a bit of a short schedule though

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

The last one would be the easiest

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

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

Im not sure what Baruk Khazad is , but if they speak Judeo-Dwarvish, that would be "blessed are the dwarves" - lord of the mark

That statement is an oxymoron.

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.![]()
