Smogon Happenings - post here for publicity (YES, YOU - READ THE OP!)

[chaos]

write up a thing and i will put it there ya

 

[ascriptmaster]

the announcement will be most effective when the client updates and we can get a gif of one of the new animations (the coolest one?). alternatively if you can make a gif from your local client, we can announce whenever

GIFs are in my graphics update thread now.

 

[darkie]

Where would I put these gifs? In this thread?

yes please, this thread is a good central location for anything that you want or needs to be publicized in any way.

I don't know about PR, but it would be nice to note down that PS has been attacked recently and that we're currently working to fix it.

edit: ah okay thanks Soul Fly

 

[Soul Fly]

Might wanna do this in a separate thread both because it's an entirely vast topic of approach, and this thread is mainly for publicity not deliberation.

Thanks! Since it's been 24 hours, can we get a new post up explaining that we are improving the site and that it will be up asap? Something like we have 30 monkeys working on it full-time.

You may post that PS is up again, that they can mostly chat and battle. We had a hard drive disk failure, we lost configurations and that means rooms, room owners, ranks and that stuff. We'll get up everything asap but the situation is now under control. We fired the mankeys and ate them afterwards.

Also ranks are lost

NU will be holding a quickban vote on the 30th with only the current NU council voting; suspects will be chosen in the next few days. After the whole site has settled a bit with suspects and dealing with ORAS changes, we will retest whatever remains in BL3, with public inclusion on those votes.
