PD Social Gathering Nov 10-11

Attention all members!

Announcing PD's social gathering of Über Coolness!

We invite all of you to join us Saturday November 10th to Sunday November 11th at the PD social gathering!

In an effort to promote commenting and general socialness on the site we ask that all of you voluntarily not post any new submissions to the PaperDemon site the weekend of the 10th. Instead we would like the community to focus on meeting new people and posting comments on peoples artwork and writing submissions. We also encourage you to head to the forums to talk about the latest tips in drawing and writing and to share any website resources you may have. I'm sure there are some rockin' tutorials that you've found online that could benefit the community.

We see all too often a web community grow so large that it loses its small friendly appeal. We'd like to prevent that from happening by having these social gatherings. Also we'd like to see people branch out and meet new people outside of their circle of friends . We have lots of ideas for future social gatherings including contests and scavenger hunts. If this gathering is a success we will arrange to have similar events. Who knows, I may even feel compelled to hand out some premium accounts to those that participate.

Reminders will be posted throughout the site the days of the event.

The staff will be hanging out in the forums and chat room to answer any questions you may have about the site (or we can just chill and hang out). Also please feel free to let us know about any suggestions you have for improving the site. We want you all to know that the PD staff are very friendly and we are happy to listen to anything you have to say.

I hope to see a lot of new faces there and not just the regulars!

Oooh, now this sounds like a great idea!

Oh, that sounds like fun! I'll have to find time to get on and chat.

Im bringing the keg.

I'll bring wine and juice for the youngster.... I'll be making some cooking too! We'll have a blast! How should I dress up?

This sounds cool! I'll try to remember to be on

This sounds great!  But I'm sure there will be the occasional moron that didn't read this and posts stuff anyways...

No need for name calling

This is strictly by choice so everyone can get to know one another better; I know I'm going to be there!

We'll put a bigger notice on the submission page so that people don't miss it.

That's a great Idea! I'm here with John now... YAY! The restoration of my Internet Access (And better yet my man at hand!) We sadly however have plans this weekend so I don't know if I'll make the chat rooms but my best wishes for everyone to have a great time!

hmm.. i guessed i missed something?

I posted three photographs, but so far as I know they don't display anywhere unless one goes looking for photos on my profile page... 'zat true?

That's true Hotspur!

We're just trying to have a social weekend here, that's all.  Don't think we'll come and yell at you if you post.    it's only encouragement for a day of critique and chatting, and a chance for our short-handed staff to catch up a bit on all the work that needs to be done.
