Under New Management!
Watch out! Club Tropica has been taken over! By who? By me! But why? The mist of silence crept over the island where all fell quiet and no one could figure out how to fight it! However, some clever old soul named James figured the best way to do it is to put one of the biggest and loudest eccentric characters of Club Tropica in charge. Me!
Who am I to Club Tropica? Well I ran the community of Club Tropica from July 2009 to December 2009 when I was in the Community Teams The Club Tropica Society and Menga. Between these times, I ran many events and offered many tips on how to survive British weather and generally got involved with everyone. As I have ran the community along with other team leaders, I do give the tendency to know what I'm doing. How long will I be here for? For as long as it takes! I have some FANTASTIC plans for Club Tropica to try and get it going, and I am going to share one or two of them with you in this very article!
Club Tropica Maintenance
Club Tropica recently went down for several days, and I thought I'd be nice and inform you all of the reason as to why, we don't want you having to see the Island doctor for stress now do we? Due to the site becoming slightly quiet and a few users inactive, a few bugs started to creep into the site that needed fixing. Unfortunately, we haven't managed to fix all of them completely but most of them are gone! High five for insect repellent! We have also temporarily removed the bottom bar from the site because as some of you may have noticed, the chat is no longer working. However I have nagged the tech fairies to get it sorted and until it is, the bar has been removed.
Another reason for the site being down was for the fact that I just needed to get to grips with being in charge! But now that I am familiar with everything there is no stopping me!
Plan 1: CT DIY
A lot of information on Club Tropica has become out dated and boring so my plans are to go around with my feather duster sorting things out. As Chloeee pointed out to me, one of the scrolling tips said Happy May Weekend! So I think I need to do some tidying up!
Not only that but I am planning on adding a whole new section to the site to help you in everyday situations. It'll tackle problems such as Sexual Health, Sexuality, Universities, Drinking Responsibly and a whole lot more! Thanks to Dragon for this idea.
Plan 2: REP Team
My next plan in line is to revive the REP team! I will be kicking a couple of reps up the bum in preparation for my Plan 3 as they will be needed a great deal. I am planning on hiring some more REP members and promoting an existing member to REP manager because I can't do it all! If you are interested in being a REP please let me know by emailing me at Aaron@ClubTropica.com.
Plan 3: Campaign!
One of my biggest operations is this. I am planning on sending out emails to as many universities and colleges as I possibly can to advertise Club Tropica and ask them to put up a poster in their common rooms and/or notice boards. It would be fantastic if you could help! I would like some Club Tropica School Reps that could possibly help out by getting the word out in your uni/college and by putting up posters and giving out leaflets. If you feel you could be interested in that, please let me know by emailing me at Aaron@ClubTropica.com or drop me a personal message HERE. Don't think that we're expecting you to do it for nothing though! We are planning on throwing in some goodies like isla and point rewards. We will release more information on this in the near future.
If you don't want to be as full on as campaigning in your school, perhaps you could just give us some contact details for your school such as your head of year or head teacher. Please inform me of these in the same methods as already stated and it would be greatly appreciated. We may even reward you with some points.
Plan 4: Putting Your Foot Down!
As I have been a member of Club Tropica right from the beginning, I have witnessed ongoing issues that people have had right from the start and no action being taken against it, or if there is, we've not seen it! I want to change this! I want to sort things out and make sure I'm seen doing it. If you have any issues you wish to raise with us, please contact us using the Help Tool or if you have any issues with site content (such as someone spelling something wrong.... That bugs me like anything) then drop me a message HERE.
Plan 5: Get Screaming!
I want everyone to get involved on Club Tropica. I want you to tell us what you hate about the site and what you love about the site and what would you like to see changed about the site. I have already discussed this with several of you and I love your ideas! Some of which I will be putting into action over the next couple of weeks. To get involved, get posting on the forum: Get Involved!
Not only do I want you to get involved by shaping Club Tropica, but I want you to shout about it to all your friends! I want you to try and get as many of your friends on Club Tropica as possible and we shall reward you! In order to do this and make sure you get rewarded go to the Invite Users page and follow the instructions.
Also, Steve has joined my side to help out Club Tropica. Read about that HERE
Welcome to Club Tropica. Let's re-shape it ready to be the next best thing! Bigger than any networking site and for you to be a part of it! Sit back and enjoy the ride!
