Hello and Welcome to another Freestyle.FM Newsletter!
What's In this Month's Edition
1.) Member of The Month
2.) New VIPs
We at Freestyle.FM are always looking for ways to show our gratitude and appreciation for the fantastic support our members have shown us. To that end we have created rep points and contribution awards as well as nominate members for the Member of the Month Award.
But we've overlooked and important component, our VIP Group. Since the merger we haven't selected any new members. Our last member to receive this award was Anna during her Dofch.com days for providing members with t-shirts at her expense and then again for Freestyle.FM.
Today we induct the following members for their continuous dedication to Freestyle.FM. In their own unique ways they have tirelessly promoted the site and help to increase interest and membership. Join me as we thank them for their efforts.
Congratulations... Latina328, TearEmUp and Varrinque and thank you all for your super support!
3.) Site News
The Horndoggs Are Now...
Well the men are still working out the name, but that hasn't stop them from finally having their own section and being active participants in their new domain. To date they have the second busiest thread on the site and 27 threads with over 222 posts. Congrats to Cube1 for being named the group's moderator along with HomerJay.
Back On Track
Looks like the site is back on track as we have recorded two straight months of over 6 million hits each and over 3,000 posts per month.
Apparently we won't be moving to a new server afterall. After receiving several errors I called our beloved webhost company and was informed they are currently not moving any more accounts to a high cpu server until (get this), they finish construction on a NEW DATA CENTER, this includes the actual building!
So until we can find another alternative, I've turned off some of the extra features that may be cpu intensive. At the top of the hit list is the Shout Box. I love this feature and I look forward to seeing what's being said on a daily basis so I know your pain. I apologize for having to take this action as we had hoped to resolved the issue by now. Unfortunately there's no ETA on when we will bring back the Shout Box or the Latest Thread Feaures.
Freestyle.FM Ranks and Member Groups
There has been some interest lately in the different colors and icons we use on the site. To that end I'll be working on a thread explaining what the different icons and ranks mean so everyone can have a better overall understanding to their functions.
