Due to the LJ outage, the following deadlines / activities have been pushed back:

!! The Garden Festival !! -- Previously was going to start August 1, but it has now been pushed back to Monday August 8 (and will last until the end of Monday Aug. 22)

Stamping -- kermit's application will be stamped Wednesday August 3 (or potentially Saturday Aug. 6 if there aren't enough votes or other apps come in).

Contests -- The current contests in ultima_arena will remain open until this Thursday August 4.

I've updated the community calendar to reflect these changes.

Here's how this is going to work:

- There's going to be two phases to this whole community feedback process. During the first phase, I'll have you fill out general polls asking you to rate various aspects of the comm and make suggestions. During the second phase, I will collect all reasonable/feasible ideas that were suggested and put them to a vote.

- This series of posts are part of the first phase. The polls here are to help give me a general idea of how the comm is going, but mostly they're here to to jog your memory on various aspects of the comm that might need improvement. You're encouraged to make suggestions in the comments as you think of them and to respond to other people's suggestions.

- Comments are unscreened. However, anonymous commenting is allowed in case you're uncomfortable voicing your opinions with your name attached.

- Not all suggestions will go on to be voted on in the second phase. Some suggestions will be rejected without vote and some suggestions will be accepted without vote, at mod discretion.

- The mods have already put some thought into community improvement. Here's a list of things we've come up with so far: ( Suggestions already on the table )

- All suggestions (here and in the comments) are open to debate, so if you want to make an argument for or against an idea, you are encouraged to do so.

Onto the polls!
