Winter is coming.
Alright, so I've lost quite a bit of time in the last few weeks by being away so I'm a bit behind in the things I need to do. There are so many new things we'd like to add to the community that we don't know where to start! So, rather than telling everyone that things will be done "soon" (which I personally hate to both hear and say), I'm going to set a few goals right now. Some of these projects need to be discussed and fine-tuned by the staff, so the dates I'm including here consider that. We're going to take everything one at a time so that we don't get overwhelmed and end up just collapsing under the weight.

Resource Week; 7/6/11 or 7/7/11 - That's right, the infamous Resource Weekend we announced a long time ago, but with a few modifications. Now, to help spread the excitement for everyone, we've extended it to an entire week. An entire week of resource-wide focus including things such as tutorials, requests, and critique! I wanted to have it added today, but the Member Awards unfortunately got in my way there. Graphic Battles will also make their debut during this week.

Exchanges; 7/10/11 - I'd like to have these out as a special treat during Resource Week. This received so much praise that we'd like to have it out as soon as possible and not sit on it too long. Get your services and stores planned out now so that you're ready for the unveiling!

Simple Light Theme; Prior to 8/1/11 - Now this is one I'm probably jumping the gun on because we haven't really started development on it, but I've given enough time that it shouldn't matter. I know there have been ideas to have it very simple and code-free while being primarily light, but I'd also like to hear more ideas about what you'd like to see! Feel free to send me a PM or post up in this topic if you have any ideas.

Regarding MotM June - Alright, so the Staff had mixed feelings about this. I don't mean that each staff member had a different opinion - I mean that each staff member kept changing how they felt about it. Finally, we came down to a decision: there is no MotM June. Why? We've had awesome posters and designers here this month but unfortunately we came to the conclusion that they kept inside their comfort zone and didn't push themselves. Our idea of the MotM is that they should be willing to try new things, and keep the effort up in these new experiences. Don't just design the same thing over and over again, and don't just post in the same area over and over again. You won't meet new people and experience new challenges!

If I forgot anything important shout it out. :)

You forgot to give a shout out to my baby. ;)

He will be six months on the 12th and is a very healthy and advanced baby. :D

Also, tomorrow starts the Gerber Baby Search Contest voting tomorrow and am hoping everybody can vote for him tomorrow on FaceBook so he may win a $50,000 scholarship and appear in a commercial! I will post a link tomorrow for everyone to submit a vote! :)

(I know this isn't the right topic but I'm just so excited!) :D

That seems to me a very good reason to not award the MotM. Probably a better decision than to pick someone you doubt about or are divise on. Although, I do wonder whether it will motivate people enough for the next month if they are so stuck in their comfort zones. Time will tell I guess. :)

Sounds good, what are the chances of meeting these deadlines this time?
Consider this statement my permission to convert my themes to other platforms. Please link back to http://geoffreykoester.com. Be sure to rehost all theme images on the new platform as we do not know how long they will redirect. Also some boards hosting theme/skin images may not survive the move.

I will personally devote all of my time to ensure I've either met the deadline or at least used every chance possible to do so.
