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!

Guests who are not registered or logged in only have access to viewing the Community Information sector. To post, participate in the community and ultimately become a member of a fast-growing general chat forum, please take a few minutes to Register!

Posted Image Introducing: Freshly Squeezed Updates!
Posted Image

Welcome to the first installment of Freshly Squeezed Updates! The aim of this periodic newsletter-like announcement is to tie in all updates, changes and additions to the board into the one announcement. We've tried spicing things up by adding a few extra features, such as the SPOTLIGHT: You Decide! poll, and the 60 second interview. This is ultimately a trial version, though we hope to announce more Freshly Squeezed Updates in the near future!

Feel free to post any ideas and/or comments that you have.

Posted Image Introducing: Board Evaluations!
Posted Image

The newest service feature to hit JUICED are Board Evaluations! The service is free (required post count), and is aimed to assist board owners with constructive criticism and feedback on what to improve for their forum. This service offers much room for expansion as we hope to cover designs, board management and even entertainment based topics in the near future (such as movies, games and so on).

The service currently offers one available feature, though if the demand is high, we will introduce more services in the near future:

1. Evaluations - Evaluations are small reviews that cover four central aspects of criteria. The service offers constructive feedback and suggests any possible alterations to any of the four specific elements. . More details on what aspects are covered and the review criteria can be viewed here.

Board Evaluations are now open - to take advantage of this brilliant new service, you can find more details or request your own evaluation here!

Posted Image Improved: Staff Structure
Posted Image

I'm pleased to announce our new staff structure. After working up a few ideas and revising them with the staff teams, we've decided to refine, chop and change the staff teams to make the overall structure as a whole more effective, and easier to manage. The new staff line-up consists as follows:-

Administrator
Content Admin
Content Staff
Service Admin
Service Staff

Content Staff are responsible for the overall content throughout the entire board. Among other tasks, their responsibilities include managing existing and creating new content, moderating the general and entertainment sectors of the board, and assisting with member inquiries and feedback.

Service Staff are responsible for managing our various services, as well as handling member inquiries and support questions. The team specializes in moderating the service areas of the forum, and fulfilling member requests and service interest.

For more information, please feel free to view our new and updated Meet the Staff thread.

Following up from the above improvement of the Staff Structure, we've also made a few changes to our current higher member ranks. The changes are as follows:-

Elite Members have become Elite Members
Honored Retirees have from Honored Retirees
Premium Members have become + Members Plus

Posted Image 10Q Interview!
Posted Image

We thought another cool aspect to include in the FSU was a member interview, though something small and somewhat random - which results in the 10Q Interview! Our first member to be interviewed is Artix. Enjoy the interview!

1. What are your thoughts of JUICED thus far? JUICED is doing a very good job as a comeback. I am very proud of all the staff for their dedication of JUICED. I have been a member of JUICED since the first week of the grand opening and It has been a very fun community (and the spam was of course all fun XD). I hope JUICED will be okay for the next few weeks and I am hoping to be able to become staff at such a wonderful forum. :)

2. What would you like to see the most at JUICED? Well I think a few more themes should be added but other than that, the forum is doing just fine. :)

3. What is your favorite aspect of JUICED? All the general chats and good members/staff of JUICED. Everyone on the forum is very friendly and helpful.

4. What country do you live in? United States of America! :D

5. What is your favourite subject at school/university? Biology, Music, and Religion. :P

6. What's your dream job? Working at Graphics & Design at a big company like EA (Electronic Arts)

7. Who would be your dream date? Not sure. :P

8. MySpace or FaceBook? Nope. Not really a big fan of them. MSN is my thing.

9. United States or Canada? United States

10. What's your favourite item from the fridge? Fat-Free Yogurt & Milk. :P

Nice additions and I don't think that the forum games section should increase post count, because most of those posts are spam.

Don't increase the post count. The majority of people use that forum more than the general chat forum.

Yes let's remove post count from forum games as that will somehow affect the lack of discussion threads in the rest of the board. <_<

The reason people post in there is because this board is centered around its stats and rewards users who raise their stats quickly therefore raising the board's stats as a whole. What else did you expect when you throw out prizes for posting lots? lol

8/10 of the people on here don't care for post count anyway so what's the big deal. You earn nothing by post count and stuff. Forum Games are spam anyway so I said disable the damn forum. :P

There are user groups you earn from posting as well as contests such as the opening day one that gave people elite or whatever they call it here if they made x amount of posts in one day so they could beat their first opening day record which I don't think they pulled off but not sure.

To say that post count gets you nothing on here is that accurate of a statement.

Whether it's worth it to you is debatable but you do infact get things from making x amount of posts.

Ahh yes, you're right. I was kinda saying the same as on another forum where the same subject is taking place. ;)

Another thing I forgot to mention, if post count truly doesn't mean anything then why turn it off anywhere. Turning off post count anywhere on a board to me says that you do think it means something.
