Welcome to JUICED!

Welcome to JUICED - a general chat community that focuses on providing an enjoyable place to visit and participate in. JUICED was first established in early April as a closed community; meaning that registrations were only allowed for 24 hours once a month. The idea worked surprisingly well, though it tried up after a few months and we ultimately decided to open the community for good. After another few months and a unsuccessful merge, we're back, and this time, we're here to stay!

Welcome Back!; We're here to stay!

First and foremost; welcome back. After the few months we've had with our doors closed, I think it's the perfect time to re-open our doors as it seems a new forum is in order for the Zathyus Network as people continue to mention that they're bored, and ultimately need a new forum to enjoy. I'm pleased to offer JUICED as that destination, as I can safely say that we're staying for good. I've learnt from my past experience with running this board that all forums have their up and down periods, and to simply ride them out as it's natural for all forums to be hit with these unfortunate situations. Regardless of how active we are, though, there's no possibility that I'll close JUICED once again as even I, like most past community members that have told me of their excitement of our return, am extremely excited about this return.

For those of you that weren't with us for our first run (which took place in early to mid 2009), it's a pleasure to have you apart of the community. Our main goal is to provide a forum that everyone can enjoy; whether it be a casual place to stop by, or somewhere to get really involved and even possibly contribute to as a member of staff (on that note, we do currently have staff applications open - feel free to read more information, or apply through the following topic). We're pretty easy going in terms of our rules, though we do encourage all users to take a look at our Terms of Service before posting (just to make sure you don't get yourself in trouble)! Of course, don't hesitate to contact a member of staff, or post a new feedback topic should you have any questions, concerns or feedback to offer. We're always adding new features, so suggestions are a great help!

Moving right along, I think it's time to discuss a few of our new features. We've already got a few more additions planned for the coming weeks to keep things running smoothly, but for now, here's what's new to JUICED:

New Layout
After multiple edits, drafts and disagreements between staff (it was honestly really hard to decide on some things), we've devised a layout that we feel will serve a solid purpose. It's easy to navigate around, and we've tried to tie common topics together to provide an easy-going experience. We'll be adding and changing a few things as we go along, though if you have a suggestion regarding the new layout, then please, by all means create a new feedback topic and we'll definitely look into the option.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Be sure to check out the new 'JUICED Interactive' category, with heaps of new activities and contests to challenge yourself in!


Member Services
Another exciting additions to JUICED is our Member Services Section, where we will now be offering various services to our community. For now, we've kept it simple with two services; one classic favourite and one new service that we're sure you won't find elsewhere. The first is the good 'ol Marketplace, where users alike can buy, trade and sell items and services. Our currency (JD) can be accumulated in many different forms, though the most convenient is definitely through posting. For more information or to start purchasing or selling goods now, be sure to check out the Marketplace!

The second service is something small, though will definitely prove useful once it takes off. The new Got A Question? forum has been designed to allow our community to help each other out with any and all questions (of course, with some limitations). It's quite simple - if you have a question about something that you can't find the answer to, then just post up a topic and our staff and fellow community members will try and help you out. For example, if you have a song that you heard, but can't remember the name, then post up a topic with as much detail as possible and there's bound to be a member that recognizes it. The new services will be on trial and error for a few weeks - meaning if it proves unsuccessful or inactive, then it'll be removed. For more information or to ask a question, please click here!

HIGHLIGHTS:
Keep your eyes peeled for a possible new service to hit JUICED within the next two weeks.


New Ranking Systems
We've also designed a new member and staff ranking system that will both work in-turn to provide the best possible experience here. We've tried to keep the member system simple, yet still try to offer heaps of possibilities. We've also done the same with the staff system, though we've divided the original staff tea, into three sub-teams to cover specific areas. For more information on our various ranking systems, please feel free to use the following links:-

New Theme (COMING SOON)
We tried extremely hard to have our exclusive theme ready for the opening, though things kept on being put back and various people who offered to help out were then too busy to offer a hand, so we decided to continue working on the theme even after the board is open. An exclusive theme is an added bonus; not a necessity, so I'm hoping that it won't make too much of a difference to the opening, and can confirm that it will be up as soon as possible. We already have a few designs ready if necessary, so we'll have them worked on one after the other to allow a set period in between the revamp times in which we add a new theme. Details on our theme, including an extended preview and a progressive update will be announced in the coming days. Please remember though that if you're able to help out with any designing to contact myself as soon as possible to organize further arrangements.


That's most of our big additions, though keep in mind that we do have a few more minor additions that we'll leave for you to explore yourselves. We have plans for more updates and additions to the forum in the coming days and weeks, so keep your eyes peeled, and remember to make any suggestions that you have!

With that, I think that's enough for this oversized opening topic! It's a pleasure to be back, and I'm just as excited as you are to be here, and apart of the new JUICED!
