Remember back in the day when we were talking about a new main page?
Well, here you are!
And remember when we hinted around about having the content be user driven, and have YOU, the members, help us update the main page?
Well, this is it!
We call it User Updates. Creative, huh? Basically, every day or so, random users will recieve an e-mail giving them a unique password and a URL. There, they can write up, post, or submit whatever they like, and once it is submitted, our editorial staff will give it the once over, and we will post it on our mainpage.
Eventually the process will happen automatically x number of times a day where a random Asylum member is sent an invite to update the front page, but right now who receives the invites is up to the admins. We are trying to be random about it, and spamming the forum with "I WANT TO UPDATE DAMMIT" won't help your case whatsoever, but ONE single email to an admin letting us know you're interested will.
All you need to know now is that some of you will be receiving e-mails regarding the User Updates, meaning it is "your turn". These should be a bit more, not formal, but "better", than your average post. You should try and put some effort into it. And fear not if you submit it and it is not immediately posted, we have a well-oiled machine they go through.
