The new community site is called PROPboards and is now live here: http://PROPboards.com.

Since it's brand new, you won't find a lot of discussion going on (yet!), but we hope that over time it will serve as a great resource for all prop and arcade traders.

While T2W will continue to be a one-stop shop for all types of traders, we wanted to give prop and arcade traders a dedicated site because, to our knowledge, there's no such place on the web right now.

Enjoy! ]]> T2W Announcements Sharky http://www.trade2win.com/boards/t2w-announcements/79026-propboards-com-new-prop-arcade-community-site-launched-today.html Good News - Video Bug Fixed http://www.trade2win.com/boards/t2w-announcements/77454-good-news-video-bug-fixed.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:30:56 GMT Good news folks. . .

The crack team of T2W techies have fixed the bug in the video sub-forum, so you can add your favourite vid's to your heart's content. Better still, we've added a feature whereby a new discussion thread is created each time you add a video. (Much like the 'T2W Bot' creates a new thread when a new Article is published.) At the present time, it's only possible to link videos from the popular video services, e.g. YouTube etc. It would be great great if we can build a library of the 'best vid's on the web', so please be selective and, for added interest, post in the thread why you think your choice is of particular merit and what's better about it than the myriad of others out there. The easiest way to navigate to the video upload page is via the blue 'Quick Links' drop down menu near the top of the page - just under the forum and thread title. Just click on 'Trading Videos' and away you go!
T2W Site Content
Hope you approve of the changes. As always, let us know what you think - and start adding some great videos!

Let me start by taking this opportunity to give a BIG thank you to all our Advisors for volunteering their time and effort in performing this role, particularly with regards to private discussion regarding new site initiatives - which is something not at all visible on the public boards, but nevertheless has been an important factor in helping to improve the site.

As you might recall when we first launched the Advisor role, our main concern was getting a group of members together who would act as a focus group to discuss new site initiatives. Back then there was just myself, EK1 and the Mods available for private discussion and considering the impact some of the new initiatives would have it really wasn't sufficient. Since then the Staff has expanded and we've got Nika, Jodh, Androosh, Trader33 and timsk all playing important parts in the smooth running of the site. Having this extra resource has really helped to focus in on what the site needs are going forward.

We've spent a lot of time discussing the types of forum groups the site needs going forward and after careful consideration, we feel that the Advisor role isn't working as well as it could, and would be better replaced by two new groups, called Forum Moderators and Forum Guides.

Hence, the new list of Forum Groups will become:

- Staff (all paid staff of T2W, each with a different area of responsibility)
- Global Moderators (the new name for the existing Moderators that moderate across all forums, led by our Community Manager - Nika)
- Forum Moderators (junior moderators with reduced moderation powers who will moderate specific forums only, led by our Community Manager - Nika)
- Forum Guides (tasked with housekeeping a forum and maintaining a new sticky guide linking to the best threads and other information relating to that topic, led by our Content Manager - timsk).

The tasks previously performed by the Advisor role will be transferred to these groups. For example all groups will be able to offer feedback on new site initiatives, tasked with reported posts, breaches of site guidelines, and assisting new members where appropriate.

The biggest advantage of this new approach is that each of the Groups listed above will have some actual control over content. This negates a criticism that was made regarding the Advisor role which was that, apart from private discussions about new site initiatives, the rest of the responsibilities like reporting posts, breaches of site guidelines and assisting new members could already be undertaken by regular members.

We'll publish more specific details of the new Forum Guide role tomorrow. ]]> T2W Announcements Sharky http://www.trade2win.com/boards/t2w-announcements/77376-restructuring-forum-groups-withdrawl-t2w-advisor-role.html
