This good????

You may have to crop it to get some junk out (Only a little). I had to take a screenshot since photoshop is not letting me save for some reason 

Wow. Great job. 

Bump. :d

I'll probably sit down sometime soon to get working on compiling everything. Would you mind going around asking some people to get their articles in? 

Mind if I join? I can update users on what's happening on TBG; plus I can write:

*user interviews
*Behind the Scenes of moderation
*pretty much everything else you can mention about TBG

I can also create (somewhat) professional graphics with PSE.

Also, I was in the ScratchCast podcast with Adriangl (though the audio mix epic failed); I've been known to write quite detailed articles.

My version of the ScratchCast is located on my sister account, Vista3654.

Hmm... how about "Moderators: The View Ahead"? I could describe the grueling efforts it takes for moderatorship, and also my first look behind the scenes.

Or I can write about some of the more popular TBGers of the bunch. Your choice. 

Sure thing. At this rate, I'll have it in by today. 

And... done!

Here is my old article, with some tweaks:


Why So many collabs fail
Lets face it. You surf through the collab section of the and only a couple have any posts on them. Only a handful of those actually make a project! Really, what's wrong? You want your collaboration to be successful,
but you will never come close until you follow these rules:

-Start with a few members. I asked some people to join my company/collab (Old Town Productions, I know you've never heard of it) at scratch day to join and then soon a lot of people wanted to. No one will want to join a company with nobody else in it.

-Don't leave unfinished projects. People (including me) have a nasty habit of starting a project, not finishing it and starting a new one. That cycle will go others realize your collab is a FAIL.

-Don't get your hopes up. Take baby steps, so don't start a RPG right off the bat. Start with mini games and grow into bigger ones.

-Don't get to cocky. If you are succesful, don't go bragging "We're the best collab in the world" or "You are nothing compared to us." That's bullying. It's okay to advertise though such as "We have top notch graphics, Complex programming, and addicting gameplay." But nobody wants to be around a bragger.

-Make friends! People are far more likely to join a company if the leader is nice to them.

Sounds great! I'd love to write articles, but don't expect that much consistency from me.    I'm busy, but I'll write when I have time.

Great. 

Can you write something for this edition? I need a few more! 

Pick something from the article list, please. Oh, and if you can, write 2 small articles. That would really be awesome, thanks a lot.
