Last night I spoke of some ideas I wanted to discuss with everyone on how to give a little kick-start to Sleuth. I would like to share these now and hear feedback. These things are not required of the Admin, but things we can do as a community to try to get things flowing again.

NOTE: Please do not bring up the development team. That ship has come and gone. This post is aimed purely at community-oriented initiatives, not changing the game itself.

Also, I would like to note that many players have been doing some really good things around here. The contests for free subs, ctown's radio show, AVH matches. I do not mean to discredit any of this. It's all wonderful. I just think we can do a little more :-)

#1 Advertising - Let's get out there and spread the word. This is a great little gem that we have found and there are probably others that would love it as much as we do. Do you belong to another internet site? A Group for Nail-Biters with Herpes? Post on the message board about Sleuth! (well maybe not that, but you get my meaning) Let others know outside of Sleuth what a great place this is. I would especially target (for Noir) adults who enjoy logic-type puzzles. That is what kept me addicted to this game for so long.

you're like the cute little niece or nephew that you insist must be brought round to visit and then you find they grew up into an surly emo teenager that just sits and looks menacingly at your cat. glad to have you back ben :D

But wait, there's more!

Please welcome the two newest Sleuth Moderators, Nicnic and CTown28. Both have been around for a long time. They have their own unique styles, but both contribute immensely to the community.

Oh yeah, I know what EMO is (Sunny and I googled it last week).

in the words of someone else recently... "wow"!

LOL congrat's to you both :D

Congrats ctown and nicnic!

Wow what a spate of promotions. Congrats all! And thanks Ben for the housekeeping.

So you asked what you can do this week, well, did you get my 32-page email? ;) j/k

I personally would like to see some new avatars, both for detectives and suspects as well, just to add a bit of variety. Maybe TH's and VHs in Cairo too. I have a few other wishes too but i think they would take much more time than you can spare.

Tk-I'd like to see that as well :)

Congratulations to the new Moderating team, I'm sure you'll all do a fantastic job of keeping us rowdy toerags in line :)

I'm gonna throw this one out since it might have been a while since its come up... Can we have ponies now? :D

Thanks to Ben and thanks to all of you, I will do my best to live up to the title.

Now as far as suggestions, can I have a cape to go along with my new title?

Congrats to Nic and Ctown, I'm sure they will make fantastic mods! :-D

How did my thread go from the community helping out Sleuth to ctown getting a cape? Something is wrong here :S

Thanks everyone. I too will do my best to develop my inner mod :-)
