Death by Art by MstrG - 2001-02-16 04:13:48
AsylumArt is the new forum on the block ... a showcase for member's original works. We've had several suggestions recently asking about ways we could promote and highlight member's contributions. This forum will be a little different in that fairly heavy moderation will be available to stay within the guidelines. Speaking of moderating, we picked four excellent ones for this:

brimstoneCALPostmodgirlRoshigoth

So if you've done a painting, or sculpture, or have some original photos, or a 3-D model, or anything else along these lines, bring it in and post it for all to see.

ANNOUNCING: by MstrG - 2001-02-14 07:47:24
Asylum Graffiti is a contest of sorts, where weekly, you get to display your creative and wit-laden talents ... you will be provided with a picture, usually involving something or someone current in the news, and have the opportunity to download it, change it as you see fit (within the rules of course), then return it. When the contest week closes for that image, a week of voting will commence, and finally a winner will be announced! We'll spare you all the gory details; they are provided on the page itself by clicking the logo above, or the link in the left column.

Humor is more important than artistic skills here, so don't be concerned if crayons are your speed. Each image will be available for one week, starting on Monday at 9 p.m. CST. The first week, starting now, will be shortened by one day.

Try it out! We think you'll have a ball ... and stay tuned later this week for related news ....

*** Special Asylum Announcement *** by MstrG - 2001-02-06 00:24:32
When we started the current incarnation of the Asylum (including the forum), you gave the admin team here a vote of confidence and a push in the direction you wanted to see it go. We hope we've lived up to many of your expectations.

As the site has grown, so have the demands on the administrative team. There are times when we barely get through an evening finishing everything we want to while still maintaining day-to-day operations. We also have future and more expansive projects on the drawing board which will stretch us even thinner. We have always strived to be more than just "web site managers"; we want to be as much of a part of the community as everyone else, but sometimes we can't with the other demands on our time.

With this in mind, we recently put our heads together (though Paint's didn't quite fit due to its odd shape), and decided it was time to do something about it. We thought long and hard, and saw it was time to recruit from the ranks for a new admin. It took all of about 11 seconds further to decide who it was we wanted.

We'd like you all to welcome and congratulate our newest admin:

*** JOEYCAT ***

Joey has already taken on some duties for the site, including handling the web ring, and we have several other things in mind for her (*evil grin*). To us, this is also about rewarding Joey's dedication and time commitment to the site and its members. No one here is more respected and loved: she's Mom! And of course, she's a fox.

Welcome Joey!!

Asylum admins revealed: by MstrG - 2001-01-30 20:01:24
CAL has somehow come across a photo taken of the Asylum administrative team during their recent covert meeting in Aruba. Rather than try to conceal it, we've decided to allow its posting here, so as to dispel rumors we're just a bunch of gun-toting nazis ...

Zooooooooooooooooom by MstrG - 2001-01-26 01:05:40
Did anyone notice the change in speed on the site? Like, you click to load a thread and it's there before you blink?? Thanks to lo-key for the upgrade!!

In case you tried to use the Spamatorium in the past week or so, we've discovered a minor bug that has since been corrected (thanks for pointing it out illussion). You may once again spam away ... I know there are several of you who haven't yet put your site in there (why does aminal keep coming up in these news items?) If you encounter any issues on the site, please let us know. Also, using asylumnation instead of asylumwhores for URLs may be helpful if you do encounter problems.

More links added today to the Leisuretime Links Library.

And trivia tonight in forum 9 at 9:00 EST!!

SITE OUTAGE 01/25/2001 by MstrG - 2001-01-24 20:00:58
lo-key will be upgrading the Asylum Web Server tomorrow morning somewhere between 2-4 CST. This will take about an hour to do, so the site will be inaccessable for that period of time.

aminal, this would be a good time for you to get your daily 1.5 hours of sleep.

REALLY BIG BIG NEWS!!!!!! by MstrG - 2001-01-23 21:37:02
BIG NEWS!! IT'S GAME TIME!!!

At long last we are starting up the long promised game room.

As you remember, we ran a poll to see what you all wanted and you told us.

In keeping with our desire to accomodate your every wish, and after much careful deliberation, we decided to go with something that we didn't even offer you!! Ain't we peachy?

Our first offering to you is...

~~~~ QUAKE III ~~~~

We all owe major thanks to AMINAL for this. We have been having difficulty working out server issues on the game room and he stepped up to the plate and made this all happen. This wasn't just him making a few clicks either, he put a lot of effort into setting this up for Asylum.

aminal, we thank you very much for doing this. Check with Joey for a loner for the weekend.

Check out the rest of the details here.

Sigh .... by MstrG - 2001-01-14 16:16:38
The TLF load problem is resolved now. Once again, it occurred because of a rogue thread ... twas bowmore's trivia thread that got whacked last night. PLEASE ... do not press "Submit" more than once when you post!!
