Yay we have a forum. Now as you all should know, a forum is for a group of individuals to get together and discuss a common interest or organization. This organization is our Anime Club, and our interest is...well, anime obviously.
Now here's a bunch of nifty things we can do with this forum.
Functions Staff/Presidents/Vice-Presidents/voluntary helpers can use:
-The Calendar. Keep track of contests, meetings, events, birthdays, and whatever you want to slap on there.
-MASS E-MAIL/PM. Meaning, we can send e-mails to everyone that signed-up in a few buttons. This makes it easier so we don't have to sort through a list of contacts in order to notify people of something. Just click, click, click, and you're done. Simple, right?
-Leave notes and such for members. Post a topic and worry less about having to remember everything after a meeting. This makes the secretary's life easier. I think. I'm not them.
Members can:
-Interact with each other outside of school from the comfort of your computer room. Or from the comfort of your laptop in the closet. This also has the pleasant side effect of being able to contact each other after graduation, if you want to of course.
-Help plan contests. We could also make it easier to have confirmation on those by having members tell us their status on whatever it is they're doing for the contest. I think.
-Find help with school/homework? Maybe. I guess.
-Other...stuff.
I'm out of ideas. As you can see (or perhaps not) I haven't created a forum before, so I'm sorta winging it. I know someone who does know forums though, so I can just ask him if there's any problems.
So...yeah. Go read the rules then introduce yourself so we can get this forum moving.
[SUPERMEGAIMPORTANTNOTE] I have set the rest of the forums to hide themselves until you make at least one post. I did this so people wouldn't just sign up and leave. There is a lot more stuff then what you see at first.
