Film-Lovers!



You like Elftown and other Heddate communities?? Do you like movies?? Then we have an idea for you! ;)
Well, we're combining the two. To make a website for lovers and makers of films so they can finally have a place to discuss their love and show off their work!

Basic Outline:
The idea of a film-lover/maker community is to bring together a group of members who enjoy watching, making, directing and/or writing screenplays for films! There will be discussions in forums, on wikis and anywhere on the site! Special features will/can include a special e-zine, a wiki for up-coming movies (in any country if possible), contests, a Trivia for the big movie buffs and etc!
Here are some complied ideas:
- The use of superwikis similar to the superwikis on Musmakers only modified in some way to be able to upload moving image files as well as sound.
- The use of superwikis like on WC for screenplay and script uploads.
- Some other cool features that can be discussed here: Film-Lovers: Features
This place will be very much like Elftown, you can upload art from your movies and even have some celebrity photos in your description!! The rules here will be lax in some ways and very strict in many other ways. We hope to make this place as enjoyable as possible as possible for the members and if any further questions are needed we are going to be here to help anyone out.

Our crew includes E-zine workers, Bosses, Guards, Council, Badgers/Graphic Designers, and many other positions. The council is not posted here (because there is no one on the council) but a list of members you can go to for questions or comments will be posted. If you are looking for a position on the council you must prove to be a HARD WORKER, you must be willing to put in hours of slave labour, and most of all you must be pleasent to work with! We want only competant workers!

Crew Members you Can contact:
1. [Paz] - Director
2. [Teufelsweib]- Asst. Director
3. [LOLNERD.]
4. [iippo]
5. [Firenze]
- These members know the most about the community, so message them with your questions and/or comments about the community.

Anyone looking to further help the community, please notify us!! We need all the help we can get!!!
If you are interested in helping we will give you the crew pages necessary for you to see. Be sure to READ over everything until you start to make comments and submit ideas.

We'll need many members!
30-60 members would be good but more would definately be awesome! By sighing up you show interest, you might become a beta tester or maybe even become part of the crew! We need as many members as possible! Without you we cannot make this happen! Oh yes, and if you have any friends and aquaintences outside the heddate sites please send the word to them. If they show an interest then this place has a better chance of getting up and running :).

2006-01-18 [Paz]: People are busy :) If they become less active in this then they might be removed... but we'll see. 

2006-01-18 [prowlie]: that's very true, we hadn't thought about that..

2006-01-18 [Paz]: He's a given seeing as all the servers are where he is :) This idea has to be more finalized before Hedda will even consider it, so we need hard working people

2006-01-18 [prowlie]: true. i've added some rules at Film-Lovers: General Rules

2006-01-18 [Lothuriel]: I think this is an excellent idea but, you will add a spot for those of us who like to write screenplays and those who like acting as well, no?

2006-01-18 [prowlie]: of course! i LOVE writing screenplays! i hadn't thought about acting though... that'll be a bit off-topic but i don't really see why not^^

2006-01-18 [Lothuriel]: I am no actress...I couldn't act my way out of a wet paper bag...but I write constantly...I live for it

2006-01-18 [Paz]: Screenplays go into creating films, so they aren't all that much off topic. Also a slot for actors and actresses can be arranged :) We could have a WritersCo set up for screen writers, or we could use the normal wiki style.

2006-01-18 [prowlie]: on the bar at the top of the screen, we could have an icon for screenplays and an icon for wikis the writersco idea would be better, they'd need to be quite long in some cases.. i meant having stuff on acting was a little off topic^^

2006-01-18 [Paz]: Then the WritersCo way will be needed. Also, there could be an icon/button for a place to upload films

2006-01-18 [Lothuriel]: WritersCo is a wonderful place for writers *hints*

2006-01-18 [prowlie]: yeah, like the tech page?

2006-01-18 [Tyrana]: WritersCo is a great place for writers. And MusMakers is a great place to find soudtrackish people. I believe the movie community would tie the two together nicely. And things might grow faster if all three are somehow correlated.

2006-01-18 [Trennas]: ooh i just remembered something else ^^ since there are probably a lot of people creating movies and a lot of amateurs as well, perhaps we should consider making a tutorial page, where people can either post links to tutorials or post their own :)

2006-01-18 [Tyrana]: Oh! That's such an awesome idea! There are so many different aspects to filming, too, so it would be sure to be very useful.

2006-01-18 [Trennas]: *nods* yep, it most certainly would be.. considering it takes quite a while (and its almost impossible) to become an expert on every aspect of it:p

2006-01-18 [Tyrana]: Just out of curiosity, are we to add our own name if we're interested in being part of the council, or is that seen as terrible, terrible manners?

2006-01-18 [nokaredes]: Terrible, terrible manners :P Actually, I can't see why you couldn't...

2006-01-18 [Trennas]: so first add your name, then beg for forgiveness?:p

2006-01-18 [Tyrana]: Well, okay. I'll add my name for now (and take it off without a fuss if it is frowned upon)... but if I get in trouble I'm holding you fully responsible. :P... heehee

2006-01-18 [Trennas]: who exactly? :p

2006-01-18 [Tyrana]: *shifty eyes* ...Um... I don't really know where I was going with that... I mean... er... *points* what on earth could that be?! *runs away*

2006-01-19 [Paz]: I'll smite thee if you add your names without my consent ;P You can be on the council though, [Tyrana] seeing as you've been rather helpful so far. 

2006-01-19 [prowlie]: we could have tutors badges for all who write any^^ and also guards, council, graphics donators, donators, contest entries, programmers...did i miss anything? how about translators? i figure masters/assembly/guides'll come a bit later..

2006-01-19 [iippo]: Perhaps there could be just the super-wiki like WritersCo for both uploading short films and for screenplays. I mean, no one uses the tech-page here anymore, do they?

2006-01-19 [Paz]: Not really, unless they want to make style sheets. It's kind of obsolete. It could work for uploading screenplays I don't know about films though

2006-01-19 [iippo]: In WritersCo you can use the superwiki to upload word documents (and html-pages too I think o.O), so that could be used the same way in this thing. I think the music uploading works the same in Musmaker (straight to the superwiki page). But the interesting question is: can you only use either one (film or text) in superwiki, or can you upload either filetype (and which filetype would be used for films). There is also the higher priv -chance, like in ET, which allows you to upload any filetype, which could be given to people who actually make film, rather than just appreciate them.

2006-01-19 [Paz]: Yes, there are plans for a higher priv for those who make films. WritersCo's superwikis will work for screenplays because they aren't as hard to handle as several wiki pages. I have no idea what the programming will do to go into this, maybe there could be a way to convert the already made for sound superwikis of MusMakers into handling image files that move. It shouldn't be hard because you can upload animations here, although I haven't seen any with sound, which might be where the MusMakers superwikis can come in. 

2006-01-19 [iippo]: So there would be a scale of uploading-possibility for film-makers: moving pictures (animated gifs), short films with sound (avi/mov/any other movie filetype, up to a certain filesize only), proper films (any size any filetype)? So a film-maker of lower priv can make an animated gif as a taster, and then people of higher positions can decide if they can have their privs upped for uploading the whole shanagang to the server.

2006-01-19 [Trennas]: normally speaking it should be no problem whatsoever to determine the files people can upload (and which not), it can all be set in advance..

2006-01-19 [Paz]: It should be all set in advance, so the members know what they can and cannot upload. That sounds good, having a shorter animated gif to start, then moving it up slowly from there. Also it will have to apply to members who follow the rules. Say if they have broken quite a few of the rules with the animation gif priv then they will not be granted a higher priv for quite awhile. The members should be able to request the animation priv and then from there the council can grant higher privs.

2006-01-19 [iippo]: It's true that the filetypes need to be set in advance, but I don't think Hedda has any interest in thinking that, so it needs to be decided by "us" here, who are making this idea.

2006-01-19 [Paz]: Naturally, Hedda is too busy with just running this place and with the pestering list from the other heads of communities. We need to come to an agreement though before we move on

2006-01-19 [iippo]: Suggestion for uploading to the wiki (ET-system): Uploading normal pictures in houses (all members), animated gifs in wiki (priv99 in ET), short films of limited size into wiki (somewhere between priv94 and 99), unlimited uploading to wiki (priv94).

2006-01-19 [windowframe]: *haunting*

2006-01-19 [iippo]: Suggestion for uploading to the superwiki (WC/MM system?):

2006-01-19 [Paz]: We should have a priv 98 for uploading (added priv) animations and leave the 99 priv for the normal wiki uplaoding. Short films of a limited siz can be 95 (leave 94 for uplaoding any file, like here). Unlimited uploading could be a 92-90, somewhere in there. The WritersCo superwiki would be perfect for screenplays but I don't knoe how the MusMakers superwikis work.

2006-01-19 [iippo]: Are you thinking the superwiki in the way that you still write into the wiki (the whole 'up' 'sisterpage', 'subpage' stuff?), or that you upload a file? (they both work like that in WC - you can upload a text-file or a image text -thing)

2006-01-19 [Trennas]: well, it would be a smart thing to think about what kind of movies people could upload, and more importantly with what codec (for those who have no idea what a codec is; you can use these programs to make your movie smaller in size, so they will not become huge is filesize).. alas it is a lot of trial and error work to determine which codec works for which movie.. but we could create a maximum filesize per movie:)

2006-01-21 [prowlie]: we could have links to the most popular codec download sites if people have trouble viewing them..

2006-01-21 [iippo]: That's what I'm thinking too: a lot of links to places with free downloads of any related programs and codecs and the most popular/accessible/bugless system as default, although people would be welcome to use one outside of the default (they just need to tell people how to make it work).

2006-01-21 [iippo]: Actually... hmm, how to cater to people who can't do downloading? (public computer users etc, can't change the configs of the computer they primarily use) I hate it when I try to open a film in uni and the codec is all bs and all I get is the sound, or something similar...

2006-01-21 [prowlie]: yeah.. i don't really know a way around that..

2006-01-21 [prowlie]: we should put a description of what the guards/graphics artists/programmers should do, just so they know what they're signing up for... i'm not really sure what to put ><

2006-01-21 [Saphyr]: 0.0 I'm daunted....ahem..anyway, I just came back to elftown and it's all very...er....different I guess. So, hi every\anyone that's reading my ramblings! I would love to be a Graphic Designer for this society! I think I can do this and I am experienced with oekaki! Pwees? o.o

2006-01-21 [prowlie]: um, G, how about if we work out what being a graphic designer involves, then you can see if you like the look of it or not..., kay? otherwise you could be up to you neck in workload of stuffs you don't even want to do..

2006-01-21 [iippo]: Buttons, the side border thing. Logos and frontpage we can have a contest on.

2006-01-21 [prowlie]: um, G, how about if we work out what being a graphic designer involves, then you can see if you like the look of it or not..., kay? otherwise you could be up to you neck in workload of stuffs you don't even want to do..

2006-01-21 [Tyrana]: Hmm... I'm not sure how much of a help this is, but: it is possible to upload video to the MusMakers superwikis: http://www.musmakers.com/8.Videos.Speed%20of%20Ere  ...Also, we decided against the side border/button idea for Musmakers (And Writersco? I don't remember)... but if we do have them for this community, I'd be glad to lend a hand if needed.

2006-01-21 [prowlie]: well, i'd like to have the side border and stuff... i dont wanna upset anyone but i reckon musmakers looks a bit dull... i mean, the icons at the top are just text and stuff... elftown is much prettier^^

2006-01-21 [Tyrana]: I know what you mean. ^_^

2006-01-22 [Paz]: (sorry, I've been gone awhile) We probably will not be able to have buttons but we probably can have a side border. This commnity will probably be sharing a server with every community except Elftown and graphics take up a lot of space (I had this explained to me) Musmakers works for uploading the videos then, WritersCo for screenplays. 

2006-01-22 [Tyrana]: That sounds very reasonable, methinks. It'll look nice with the side border, and the buttons do often take a little while to load, anyway. Is there a superwiki that sort of... combines the superwiki abilities of both MusMakers and WritersCo? Or would they be somehow separated?

2006-01-22 [Azuri]: heh perhaps the boarders could be strips of film(the kind used on projectors at the theator)that would be nifty

2006-01-22 [Tyrana]: That's what I was thinking myself! ^_^ I think it would look classy.

2006-01-22 [Paz]: It would look fine. I have no idea if we can combine them both because one is made for doc. and .txt files and the other is made for mp3. / .wma / .wav, etc. files. The best thing we can do is have a two buttons at the top, one leading to the movie superwiki and one for screenplay superwikis. 

2006-01-25 [prowlie]: hey... it looks like i'll be away for a while... so i name [Paz] as steward in my absence^^ i'll try and be on as much as i can. read my diary... bleh.

2006-01-25 [Paz]: I read your diary ;) Don't worry I'll take care of things here in my free time

2006-01-26 [iippo]: There could even be a sideborder-designing contest to get people interested in this thing.

2006-01-26 [Paz]: That would work, it might bring in some graphics designers

2006-01-27 [iippo]: The contest could be held in ET (I think that's what they did with WritersCo front image)

2006-01-27 [Paz]: Someone with the privs can post it on mainstreet, we'd get people that way ;)

2006-01-28 [Paz]: Here is the border contest: Film-Lovers: Border Contest :) I'll take it to MC

2006-01-28 [iippo]: And what happens to the contest entries if this community doesn't happen?

2006-01-28 [Teufelsweib]: a community for movie lovers and/or makers sounds great. even though I don't make movies, is there any need for extra help perhaps?

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: darnit darnit darnit! I am terribly sorry, but I'm afraid I will not be able to combine this with my upcoming workflow.. Im afraid I'll have to resign from the crew :( I'm really sorry about that, because I really did want to help out.. turns out I was a little too hasty to joing in :(

2006-01-29 [prowlie]: ^^ i'm back briefly! contest is an awesome idea, [iippo], i love you!

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: with a contest this does indeed get more popularity ^^

2006-01-29 [Paz]: It should get more popularity. Aww, it's okay [Trennas] we'll miss you though :( I'm going to try my hardest to get this to work and if it doesn't then well... crap >.> I have to work on this in my spare time, which there isn't much of so everyone can help out as much as possible and it would help me a lot ;)

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: here to help... I perhaps have an idea for another general rule... wait, I'll send it to you, since I ain't in the council, perhaps you could use it

2006-01-29 [Paz]: It should get more popularity. Aww, it's okay [Trennas] we'll miss you though :( I'm going to try my hardest to get this to work and if it doesn't then well... crap >.> I have to work on this in my spare time, which there isn't much of so everyone can help out as much as possible and it would help me a lot ;)

2006-01-29 [Paz]: You can be on the council [Teufelsweib], we need all the help we can get

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: well, that would be great :) I'll try to come up with some more rules then. thanks

2006-01-29 [Paz]: No problem :)

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: now lets hope that we can get this thing GOING

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: id still like to be around, but i will be advising from the background of the background :p ^^

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: maybe when your work has become less you could do more for this :)

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: maybe, but im afraid that will not happen anytime soon.. by the looks of it, i have a full schedule for at least one year:p

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: autch... that's quite a lot. but the year is over before you know it! (uberoptimist)

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: true! but by that time there will be another year of slavery waiting for me ^^

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: sounds like you're happy about that? :P

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: well i dont mind ^^ its fun slavery, but it does put a large restrain on my freedom :p

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: when your study is over there'll be more free time... both to make animation movies and perhaps to help this community :)

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: maybe.. but that will be a little while..

2006-01-29 [iippo]: And not to mention, but this community will take a long long time to actually become anything. I mean, RPG Realm is progressing really slow, and they have hundreds of people wanting it and plans and everything.

2006-01-29 [Trennas]: i know, but until it is active, it will need a lot of work.. and i cannot promise to do that work while i have other, more pressing duties..

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: it doesn't matter how long it will take until the community is going. it will be there one day, as long as we all work hard together :)

2006-01-29 [Tyrana]: Now that there's a contest, do you guys still need graphics people? I enjoy it, but I'll admit that there's probably someone more fit for the job, if you can find one.

2006-01-29 [Teufelsweib]: there has to be so much done for graphics.. I suppose that the more people working on it, the better

2006-01-30 [Paz]: RPG Realm has been an open idea since August, 2005. Thanks to two devoted heads it is being worked on and something should start happening in the next month or so :) Yes, we do need graphics people but I wouldn't suggest making anything huge until it IS actually going somewhere. 

2006-01-30 [Teufelsweib]: well, hopefully this is become the next succesfull project

2006-01-30 [Paz]: One of the next at least :P (rpg realm is on its way) As long as successful work is put into it (and hedda likes it) it will be a success someday

2006-01-30 [Teufelsweib]: hopefully hedda likes movies too :P and I guess that if we get some important people to help out (or at least show interest) it will go quicker too

2006-01-30 [Paz]: Yes, hopefully the border contest will bring in some people :P I'll work on this more over the weekend when time is my own

2006-01-30 [Teufelsweib]: everytime when I come up with a rule I write it down... but I'll see if I could do more, I'll make the questionlist that you have to make for your profile for example ^^

2006-01-30 [Paz]: It will be invite only at first to regulate those who come in, they'll act as beta testers :) Then we can have the application system like on WritersCo, etc. We need little things like default relation names, contest things, etc

2006-01-30 [Teufelsweib]: default relation names? could you give me an example...

2006-01-30 [iippo]: In ET they'd be "friend" "family" etc...

2006-01-30 [Teufelsweib]: ah, to make our community different from ET, more independant and unique ^^ I get the point

2006-01-30 [Paz]: Yup :)

2006-01-31 [Azuri]: so in the begining will it just be the people who have signed up at this wiki that are aloud into it??

2006-01-31 [Teufelsweib]: they will indeed be sent an invitation, and will be the only ones around until everything works

2006-01-31 [Azuri]: spiffy^_^

2006-01-31 [Paz]: Council members/Guards, etc. are the first member and then a certain amount of people will be invited to beta test before the rest are allowed in :) But yes, most likely they will be chosen off the list

2006-01-31 [Azuri]: would it offend anyone if i put my name under graphics artist??Id like to be involved more in this. It sounds like fun^_^

2006-01-31 [Paz]: You can go ahead, those positions are open to anyone. It's the council and the guard positions that aren't :) It's good to know that you wish to be involved

2006-01-31 [iippo]: How about for the relation-names: compare them to famous movie-people relations. so boyfriend-girlfriend relation could be named after a famous actor-actress love-couple. Or a famous movie character pairs? It would also be cool to have a relation name like "the next Martin Scorceses" :P

2006-01-31 [Paz]: That could work, but make sure they're actors people like :P Movie character pairs sould cool though

2006-01-31 [Azuri]: well you could make a poll on diffrent combinations and see which people like best

2006-01-31 [Stephen]: Interesting...

2006-01-31 [Paz]: It is >.> And still in the work, VERY much in the works.. (no time Oo)

2006-01-31 [Paz]: All council related pages now have a password, message me if you want it (and are on the council) -Thank you :)

2006-01-31 [Teufelsweib]: I wonder if that will work with famous movie pairs. what if people don't know them? for example, I know people who don't never have seen Lord of the Rings before, while that's quite a common movie. and so you have a lot of movies that not everyone has seen.

2006-01-31 [iippo]: Considering that this will be a community for movie-interested people... They will have some kind of contact with movies (going to them, magazines, imdb.com etc) and we can be quite sure that they know stuff. Another thing: a lot of movie people love movie trivia, so how about something to do with that. Trivia-forum, or featured piece of useless movie-trivia.

2006-01-31 [Paz]: That could be something like the Trivia on Elfpack only it will be totally movie affiliated. People who guess the trivia and get it right will be rewarded some prize

2006-01-31 [iippo]: *not very knowledged on Elfpack* ^_^;; and here I was thinking I' having an original idea :P But yeah, 'twould be cool.

2006-01-31 [Teufelsweib]: yes, a community for movie-interested people. but not everyone likes the same genre. so don't count on that everyone has seen the same movies..but since the idea is nice, maybe we could do something with it :)

2006-01-31 [Teufelsweib]: and with movie trivia... guessing from which movie a certain quote is is always fun to do :) or if you can upload music, from which movie the music is...

2006-01-31 [iippo]: Alright... How about pairs that are each representing a certain genre? That way people could pick the relation of the movie that they liked. So one horror pair, one romance, one drama (heavy generalisation of genres going on here, sorry bout that). So people could choose to be the relation "Starsky & Hutch" or "Tom & Jerry" and so on, depending which genre they like?

2006-01-31 [iippo]: But copyrighted music can't be uploaded, so we can't upload soundtracks. :/ what is also fun is to take the movie-quote and replace one word with the word "pizza". XD Hasta la pizza, baby!

2006-01-31 [Teufelsweib]: lol XD I like that second idea :P for the advanched movie watchers ;) but wouldn't you get a huge list of film genres then? since there are about... 15 different genres.

2006-01-31 [iippo]: Just have to keep it simple and un-subtle. :P Sides, not that many people are going to use them anyway, most people I know make up their own relation-names. o.O

2006-01-31 [Teufelsweib]: yeah... that's true. but maybe it's a better idea for something not that common as relation names

2006-01-31 [iippo]: but it could be pretty funny for people to choose to have their relation called "Tom and Jerry" or "Bonnie & Clyde". Hmm, or how about... movie titles as relation names? Ones that have something relationey in the name..?

2006-02-01 [Paz]: I've done some work on the rules :) Movie titles like Kill Bill, that would be interesting actually >.>

2006-02-01 [nokaredes]: Ok, I'm going to ask a question that I'm sure has been ased already, but, as I haven't seen it or the answer...what colors is the new community going to be? Weird ET green, or grey, or something new?

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: that would indeed be a nice idea.. as long as the movies are very common. but it's certainly a nice idea // I don't know what colors it's going to be, but I expect something different from the ET green

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: and by the way, nice banner :)

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: perhaps it's also a nice idea to organize certain weeks in some kind of... genre. that you have a fantasy-week or something and everything featured has something to do with fantasy movies. or when king kong came out something about the history of the previous king kong movies

2006-02-01 [Paz]: The colour will be decided once someone makes the style sheet but I was thinking a mellow yellow-orange//I made them during a free block >3// I'm going to move all of the rules, crew data, and ideas to a private wiki for the crew member so the random people here can't peek on work

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: we should indeed have a wiki for ideas, out which we can choose. swell idea :)

2006-02-01 [Azuri]: ooo I <3 orange-yellow

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: I think that that would indeed be a nice, calm color... :)

2006-02-01 [Paz]: It would be, I'll work on the style sheet later on and see what I can do :) Moving will take a moment, hold on...

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: this weekend I have got lots of time, then I can work further on ideas and such. I'll see how I can help then...

2006-02-01 [Azuri]: Ive got lots of time on the weekends too id love to help as well

2006-02-01 [Azuri]: Hey i was just thinking what about "Camera,Lights,Action!" as the community name?

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: I wonder if the , in the name will work... well, you can always suggest it

2006-02-01 [Azuri]: Probly not but that can easily be taken out to just be "Lights Camera Action!"

2006-02-01 [Paz]: We're probably going to keep it to something easy and nice. Exclamation points will not be used though :)

2006-02-01 [L?se]: I like 'Moviewood', that one [Draco Dralion] came up with :)

2006-02-01 [Teufelsweib]: it's indeed a nice one :) sounds like 'elfwood' and has something of 'hollywood' in it too :)

2006-02-02 [iippo]: Heh, I was sitting here not realiing the connection to Elfwood. -_- But. Think what a cool shortening MovieWood will have. We'd so own WritersCo in the whole abbreviation thing :P And the endless possibilities for logos with MW in it.... :O Wow. *voes for MW*

2006-02-02 [prowlie]: woo yay me too! awesome^^

2006-02-02 [iippo]: You're just doing that because your name has the same abbreviation xD

2006-02-02 [prowlie]: it does?.... wow, yeah, it does! -laughs schemingly-

2006-02-02 [Paz]: I have made a wiki for the features and a brief definition (It does not have the link back to the secret wiki) Anyone on the crew who wants to be the boss of something talk to me: Film-Lovers: Features

2006-02-03 [Teufelsweib]: good... very good :)

2006-02-03 [Rhammin]: it's a great idea, in that aspect, but unfortunatley, [Teufelsweib], i don't think that i would have any time to assist you and everybody else. i'll check it out when it's up, though. Good-luck with this.

2006-02-03 [prowlie]: well, you can join and show your support :) we just won't pester you to do too much^^

2006-02-03 [Teufelsweib]: thanks anyway for looking around, I apreciate that :)

2006-02-04 [iippo]: Hmm, it might be interesting to encourage members to collaborate, like The Artists Workshop (*cough* not at all shameless advertising >_>)

2006-02-04 [Teufelsweib]: that wasn't advertising!

The Artists Workshop

is just a good example *whistles and looks around*

2006-02-11 [Azuri]: *looks around*hmm what to do what to do

2006-02-11 [Teufelsweib]: well, we certainly need participants for the Film-Lovers: Border Contest
