Staff Member Promotion Mishap

Recently I said I would be promoting a member to the staff position of moderator. I feel bad now that I feel like taking that back. But let me explain myself.

Firstly I feel bad since I was hoping and almost expecting more than one person to apply for the position. I only got one application. This makes it feel more like I'm giving away the position.

Secondly, the site hasn't really been as active as it was before. It's almost starting to feel like the amount of staff we have is way more than enough. So adding a new staff member would just feel overwhelming.

As bad as I feel about it, I think that for now, until things liven up again on the site, I'm going to revoke the staff member opening and keep the staff as is. For now things are just too... dead for us to have another staff member.

1 Year..

1 year ago today, a girl going by the handle Emmy has a Gun decided to make a fansite for her favorite musician, William Control. Within a month it quickly grew into the biggest site she had made.

Today it is a site recognized by William himself and has reached almost 200 members. It has been quite an amazing year for me and for the site. I am so proud of what it has become and look forward to what lies ahead of us.

Here's to another great year ahead!

Kind of exciting.

Today is one month before Hate Culture's 1 year anniversary. I'm completely excited about it because Hate Culture has come so far from when it first began. Just seeing how it's evolved and grown in the past year has been amazing. I'm looking forward to watching it continue to evolve and grow in the future.
So let's try and reach that 200 member mark before our anniversary. You tweet about it, post MySpace bulletins about it or even put a banner/link on your MySpace or website. (Banners and other promotional material can be found here: http://williamcontrol.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=site&action=display&thread=21)

New Boards

After some thought I figured that with the site growing it could use some more organization. After looking through what people I have posted I've made some new boards to keeps things a little more organized and easier to find.

Updates:
-Art & Writing board added
-Visual Addiction Board modified
-Games board added
-Books board added

Icon

While checking the site and pondering what more I can do to make it better, I noticed that icon next to the site name on the Internet Explorer tab. I've noticed that other sites have there own custom one and though that it would be neat for Hate Culture to have one. So I did some research and quickly found a way to do so. Now Hate Culture looks more professional with it's own icon, the image of which is inspired by a similar icon found on the CD booklet for the album Hate Culture. I do hope to incorporate this image some more into the site, so keep an eye out for it in the future.

The Start of Something Wonderful

With the 1 year anniversary of Hate Culture coming up and the popularity of Hate Culture growing, I've decided to make a blog to give you up to date information on site updates, site news, and other William Control/Hate Culture related happenings.
