Well, as some of you can see, I've come back after a very long absence. And since my absence I've noticed that there aren't a whole lot of active users that come here anymore. That's fine by me. At least this place is still up and running. Since I'm back I thought about some projects that interest me.

The first is that I hope to get the Sim Battle Challenges up and running again. I have the time, but sometimes, such as in the past, I've gotten lazy about it. Mainly because doing the second challenge takes forever, and to me it is boring. But it must be done anyway. Those of you who have been participating can start where they left off if you choose to participate again. Hopefully I'll even get to put the 7th challenge up since it's never been done yet, at any board.

The next idea I had in mind I came up with several months ago. It'll require much time and help from others, but I was thinking about making a newsletter for the Acmlm board community. Yes, it'll be a Acmlm newspaper. This newspaper would include stuff like:
Member interviews
News about the world, technology, games, etc.
Information about changes to any board within the community
Event listings
Mentionable artwork/ music done by members
Reviews for games/computer etc.
Wanted Ads

Basically anything going on within the community would be put in it, and the letter would be posted on each and every Acmlm Board that is currently active. Now, doing this by myself would prove to be difficult. That's why I would have a staff of writers to help. Each person would work on a section or topic and then everything would be put together and sent out as a whole to each participating board In addition to this, other random members could submit their own writings or reviews to the newsletter, possibly getting it put forward with their credits. This is something I'd have to spend time planning out and would require permission on each board to have posted, along with any comments from you guys if this would work or not.

The last idea in mind for now is something that was taken from Resistance: Fall of Man. It deals with Ribbons (think Military service ribbons) that are awarded for each accomplishment during online play. These ribbons are small images of different designs and colors, stacked in rows and columns, that would be award to those who happen to accomplish certain requirements for things online (post counts, getting certain scores in online games from places like Newgrounds/etc., participate in RP/Simbattles, internet scavenger hunt) and even real world (Lifting heavy weight, no speeding tickets, gallon milk challenge). You could put them in your bio, Myspace page or personal web page. Many, many ideas can be incorporated into this, but I'd only pick things that areinteresting and not too easy/hard to get. I may need help with the images as well if things get to overwhelming.

So that's what I have in mind for now. I don't know when I'll be doing any of these (especially the newsletter) but deep inside I do want to make them all happen whenever I can. I'd like some input from your guys about whether you like these ideas or not, and if any are willing to help make it happen.

What about other people, like me, who owns a community, but is not ACMLM-type?

I would help make the newsletter and everything. I think the newsletter is a great idea.

For awhile I really wanted to make the shop system active here again. (NO BATTLE)

I have had NUMEROUS ideas about the shop system that I thought I could possiably learn and work with. Everything else you mentioned is excellent, and I fully support it.
