Helping Hand, Don't Stop Believing...

     I have opened Helping Hand with little to no advertising and it catered a small group of people. That's before. I've opened it with a statement, "I shall never give up on this for this will be a forum I would love to work hard upon". Why did Helping Hand undergo a brief hiatus? It was because Hatori got into a lot of activities for him to graduate with flying colors and have a good reputation to his upcoming University. He got what he wants, but he needed to layoff for forums for a while. Yes, Helping Hand went into a big drainage of activity. And no, Hatori didn't give it up. Helping Hand is still believing, Helping Hand will still carry on.

     First impressions on Helping Hand's name is quite vague. We aren't an organization to help out those who are in need, nor we try to massively change the world. We're here to help small groups of people if ever they have problems, promote sincerity and sensitivity over the internet. We will do our best to promote optimistic approaches through life. Life is a difficult field to touch, and we are doing our best to help out as much as we can. We're open for more activities, making a great community for every member to enjoy. A community to just talk with when we're down, when we're really happy or when we feel that we just need someone to talk to.

     The forum is founded by Hatori and now he is accompanied by a good friend named woodstock (Leo), the two would be a duo helping each other in creating a well maintained breeze of safety within the forum, providing content, administrative decisions, fun, activities and more. They will be the ones providing the forum substantial contents/activities for the members and will be the head of all decisions made here in the forum. We are not dictators, we're people who respects democracy by choice of the community. We will do our best to make Helping Hand a great place to just relax at.

     However, that isn't everything. With each rehaul there is always something that has been changed and something that has gotten a slight improvement. That's what happened in our case as well and there is an amount of changes awaiting old and new members. In a list, we'll name the changes you can see around;

  • Sue's Corner - Everybody welcome Sue, our new counsellor. She's having her own forum so check by if you will have any problems regarding life, love, family or the similar. Make sure you read her rules!
  • Removal of Services - The service section has been removed because we felt there wasn't a need for it yet. If the members will decide to bring it back and if we will get some more time with managing them, we will consider bringing them back, however currently, we don't have any plans bringing it back.
  • Change of Layout - As it can be noted, the layout has been changed a bit to suit us and the members better, but also for better navigation and generally easier understandable forum names.
  • Contest Fair - With the rehaul, we've thought of adding a section that will actively hold contests which will happen oftenly to drag all of you members into having some fun with some short and sweet contests.
  • Game Roulette - Remember the forum games section? Now it has been renamed and edited so that it's much easier to understand and more seeable.
  • Debate Room - Another addition to our rehaul list. We're now proudly hosting debates and we will strive to be active in posting the most interesting topics to debate on.
  • Archive Forums - For the purpose of being more organized and storing old topics into visible archives, this has been implemented.
  • Grand Competition - The new competition is here, and everybody is invited to participate inside! Please go to the newly created 'Contest Fair' forum for more information regarding the competition. Remember, a few things are still in their testing stages such as the prizes, so nothing is finalized regarding them, but soon will be.
  • General Changes - We've made the forum more cleaner, with new Topic AutoTools and other small additions such as Emoticons to give the forum a better look and feel. There are more changes right away.
  • Patch System - Ever heard of patching a product or similar, making an upgrade on it frequently? Well that's what we'll do with the forum. We will update the forum frequently and add new changes all the time. We think this system is far more convenient and better, and since we'd like to make our community always up-to-date, this is another reason why this system is implemented.
  • Shoutbox Addition - We've added the shoutbox feature, so you may use it and chat with other users on a more 'lively' level. Note that the same rules that apply on the board, apply on the shoutbox as well.



     Now that's covered, let's have some fun and if you want to learn more about Helping Hand's community, the best way to do that is post with the rest of the community and/or lurk before you post so you get the whole feeling of the community first. Thank you for reading and enjoy the forum!

I'm certainly glad Sean has decided to choose me as his person of trust and I will do all my best to help him make this place the most enjoyable for everybody. However, as all of you know, I'm a new member and I haven't been around as perhaps as much as others did making me new to this place and the community feel it has had and hopefully still has so I'd like to let you know that I'm definitely going to stick around and give new ideas and try to do things on my own and different way. I definitely hope I'll prove myself and it's really up to you to be the judge of that, you, as the member. I haven't and I don't think I will ever bite you, so please don't hesitate to ask me anything or come up to me for support or a chat trough the personal messaging system or really anywhere you can see me. I'm open for all questions and I hope I'll be a fair and good administrator to you all and of course if I make a mistake, I'll admit it and learn from it. That's about it for the really, really serious and really, really long post. Also I'm hoping you'll love the changes and that you will be enjoying this forum.

On a lighter note, you must obey me and call me Leo. There are cookies in the jar on the other side once you've made yourself to a minion. :D :brendan:
