| NEWSLETTER NUMBER ONE Subject: Re-Roaring Roaring Rainbows..does it sound familiar? CUZ ITS BACK! Yeah, it died. But that doesn't mean it can't come back from the dead! You're getting this email because you were a member of the old Roaring Rainbows, and we want you to revive yourself and come to the new Roaring Rainbows! We've got new sections, new topics and a deticated administration. We're still fixing the rough patches, but why not come down and see what we've got so far? BECAUSE WE ROAR!~ ~minal, on behalf of the roaring rainbows administration. http://www.roaring-rainbows.darkbb.com (an issue I have with this one says that it was only sent to administrators..if that is true, sorry about that) _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

| NEWSLETTER NUMBER TWO Subject: Major Milestone!!! So maybe it isn't exactly major, but I'm proud. We've now passed the number of 15 users! yay~ Also, we have 1000+ posts and 100+ topics! I'll try to keep my joy short enough. Our forum is in a -random- category of forum listings for forummotion. (basically, a ranking system for a certain number of forums and we're doing pretty well.) [Remember that these stats constantly change] # of topics - 11 (we just need like a few more topics to get into the top 10! # of posts - 10 (we're clost to 9!!!!) # of users - 39 (Don't make me cry guys, we're on the second page of listings) All we need is 6 more users to make it to the first page. I'm sure we can get 6 more people!!!! the final category is points. I do not know how they are calculated but we're doing pretty well! Our rank is number 8! [Note: These ranks are ranked by last 3 months] Rank for last two years: # of topics - 19 # of posts - 14 # of users - 28 (WOW. We went up! LOL!) # of points - remains the same because the point system is for all time. This is kind of long, but I just wanted to say good job  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

| NEWSLETTER NUMBER THREE
Subject: Christmas | | Hey! (I'm sorry if you get this email twice, I'm having some..issues)
While my original plan was to make the christmas theme up on Dec.1, plans change. (I got excited) And in my excitedness, failure happened. My picture of hyde singing in HURRY XMAS was supposed to move, but was too big for the forum so I had to make it..not move.
But the important part is that we're in our christmas theme! woo~~ Check it out! 
YAY CHRISTMAS THEME, MAY THE WINTER HOLIDAYS COME SOON (needs to get out of school)
So, I forgot what else I was going to put in the newsletter...let's start with some updates to the forum.
First off, we now have a calendar. Anyone can make topics in the calendar sub-forum (attached to the announcements/news category) When you make a calendar date with the topic, it appears on the calendar. But don't put your own birthday up because birthdays of forum members are automatically added onto the calendar.
The second major-ish update we have is a playlist on the portal! You can request songs to be added in the special topic of the playlist in the problem/suggestions part of the forum. The maximum number of songs we can have is 200.
Now, we shall see our FORUM RANKINGS in the forum rankings thing.
| Time Period | Category Name | Rank Number | | Past 3 Months | | | | Number of Topics | 7 | | Number of Messages | 6 | | Number of Users | 32 | |
Number of Points | 5 | | Past 2 Years | | | | Number of Topics | 13 | | Number of Messages | 9 | | Number of Users | 26 | | Number of Points | 5 |
Unless people really want it, I will not be putting up the rankings in a newsletter again, you can get the link from me to view it yourself.
In almost two months (The forum was re-started around the second week of October) we've really grown. Our stats are currently:
Our users have posted a total of 4261 messages We have 22 registered users The newest registered user is Alexander
Another important note: There will be some staff changes going on today. Look out for it!
So, I'll end this now before I start going on about nothing. Remember, we need more users, so please tell people about the forum.
And a very early Merry Christmas, incase I don't send another newsletter any time soon.
Also, Happy early Kwanza and Hanukhah
And happy belated Eid and Diwali.

Ps, I want this toaster for christmas, it looks awesome!

| NEWSLETTER NUMBER FOURI was hoping that I would not have to send out an email for this, but it seems that I should. Please remember that it is against the rules to ask to be an administrator or moderator. You can't just become an administrator. That rank is for people who createdthe forum or will be admin like in what they do. The role of moderator is to make sure things are running smoothly. Rules have to be followed, spam has to be deleted, etc. At the moment, we do not need any more moderators and we do not want to be notified if you would like a position. We will ask you, so if we feel that you are capable of being a good mod, you will be informed. Also remember that your post count means nothingwhen we talk about staff positions. You could have one million posts, but that does not make you any better of a mod-type-person. So, to sum it up, don't ask to be a person of staff, and we don't want to see your whines about it because I'm sorry but that's just how it goes. On another note, I know I said tell people about the forum, but don't be over the top. I've been hearing some complaints and it's upsetting. I don't want people to think that we are an annoying group of people or anything. Now the happy part! Google has decided to love us! http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=roaring+rainbows&btnG=Google+Search&meta=The Roaring Rainbows facebook group is also up. If I forgot to invite you, add yourself to the group and invite some friends. I don't mean to bother you guys by spamming your inboxes, I swear. 'Till next time, byebye, and see you on the forum!  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days

| NEWSLETTER NUMBER FIVEI think I promised no newsletters till the new year...but I had to say Merry Christmas! Even if I'm late.. Happy Holidays! but try to be happy, no matter what's happening in your life. If it concerns you, or someone else. The holiday season is the time to be happy. Really, you should always try to be happy (Yes, I'm ranting to myself now, I blame NANA) mhm....sorry. ♪I'm dreaming of a white...christmas♫ (I'm listening to this now, yes) ...Don't take this wrongly: I love you all  I think I'm high. See you on the forum!  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

| (Lol, I'm actually putting this one up on time) NEWSLETTER NUMBER SIXokay, I'm very angry because it seems that sending newsletters NEVER works out for me. (Bryn, you want a new job?) They always get deleted or something *anyway, enough ranting* So, we've reached 10,000 posts! (almost) Give yourselves a pat on the back guys  Special thanks to Blah and Hi guy35, and their scary post wars. They really boosted our post count. And hey, we have 30 users now. Great isn't it? Why don't we have more though? DX I'm happy we've got who we've got. But it's hard getting feedback from you guys! We get a maximum of SIX votes on things in the polls sections! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT RR?
Please let us know what you think! Do you like the colours? Hate the pictures? Love the forum games? Have issues with a member? Please please please give us your feedback! We can't get any better for people unless you do! You can even do this anonymously! Go down to the bottom of a page on the forum and click CONTACT. Here you can let us know what you think. So, happy very late new year! Wanna hear our plans for it? Every month, we're gonna have a different event! This month (but it will happen in early February) is the court case of Mr.Snowman! Basically, here's how it lays out: Mr. Snowman was the siggy of Forum Mod JubeJube. One day, David knocked his head off with a stick while posting! (but denys it) Then, blah decided to take it to court. Who's side are you on? Read up more about it @ the forum. Linky: http://roaring-rainbows.darkbb.com/issues-f10/who-knocked-off-mrsnowman-s-head-court-case-t304.htmYou can show your support by going to your profile and choosing who YOU support from the dropdown menu. Also, let a member of the staff know if you would like to be involved in the case, or just post in the thread for it. 'Till next time, invite some friends, and see you on the forum!  SEE YOU IN COURT! _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

That's not exciting. But it is! IT IS! And I'm so excited to be sending out a newsletter I'm probably gonna break my fingers from typing this!Yeah, So I 've been dead for about a week~ish cuz I was sick. But I'm back. BACK I SAYGod..what did I eat? Maybe it was a piece of blah. Or maybe I'm hyper cuz of my week doing nothing. It was boring.Anyway, we had a good response to the last newsletter, we got some good feedback via the contact button. Remember guys, if you want to give us some feedback on the forum, you can do it using the contact button. You don't have to be logged in to do this. The message you send will be sent to the admins and mods so we all get to read it. Keep sending in your feedback! We want to know how you feel!Question of this newsletter (You get a bonus for answering it XD ) :What do you think of the newsletters? Do you enjoy reading them? Do you think we should stop getting them? Should minal give the job to bryn?Now, I'm sure you're all dying to know what's going on with the trial and honestly.. I don't know. The date keeps changing so just keep an eye out on the Discussion Topic to find out the finalized date. It should be very soon! (Possibly even this weekend) And, even though that event is still on going, I'd like to let you all in on something special.Are you ready for it?**********Ew, I seem like I'm sending a chain letter. Okay, you're ready.Or not? Yes you are!Roaring Rainbows is..nearing our FIRST ANNIVERSARY! YAY *confetti*April 27th is the day! Why I am I letting you guys know? Well, we've come a long way since October. We're still a small forum, but we've really come a long way ^_^Anyway, we're starting the party early!! How so, you ask?Roaring Rainbows 1st Anniversary Celebration, Part 1!
What's part one? A BANNER CONTEST. There will be more details released shortly, but basically we want either a little button or signature to promote RR. It can be animated with flash, drawn on MS paint, sketched by hand, whatever you want. I'm thinking the deadline will be in March (maybe the 9th, which is the second Monday) but I'm not sure yet. Get those artsy thinking caps on!
Anyway, I think that's all for now. 'Till next time, see you on the forum~

| NEWSLETTER NUMBER Eight
(yes, I'm late on posting this on the forum again, like wayy late) The Roaring Rainbows Revolution..as I call it  RR-R~ As you may have noticed, RR has been going through a lot of changes. The layout changed a bit, and I've been editing things. There are pictures beside the sections now! Go to the forum and check it out! And btw, I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on everything. I don't get much, but I would like to know what you all think of the changes. (Remember: Use the contact button at the bottom of the forum!) Well, this is going to be a shorter newsletter seeing as I'm very very tired, and still have some work to do. Sorry Guys! I'd also like to clear up this thing with super~awesome~bot. I am notthe mastermind behind his account. super~awesome~bot is a special member of the forum. As stated in the newsletter, please send all your pms with quetions to HIM. Seeing as he is a bot, he can probably answer better than we can  Anyway, I'll be looking forward to your feedback, and posting!  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

| Once again...posting them late. NEWSLETTER NUMBER NINE
Hello everyone!  Just wanted to let you know, that there's been a new update from forumotion! (Very exciting, yes?) But since it's such a new update, it's very buggy, and I'm trying to figure it all out. (Basically, I have to activate all the new updates) Some new things to look forward to are: Muliti Quote, a reputation system, a points system, a new layout for profiles, etc. I'll be putting up a sort of tutorial in the announcements section soon, so just be careful, and don't press any buttons if you don't know what they do! XD One of the things I'm excited about is being able to post on people's profiles now! Also, the friends/foes thing has been updated. When you add friends, it actually shows it on their profiles! And you have to accept friend requests now. Now, enough about the update. Let's talk about the BANNER CONTEST! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, read this thread.The deadline was March 9th, but nobody posted up any banners!! *cries in a corner* It's okay though, because I know some of you guys were working on banners. So, remember, post them up ASAP! and if you had no idea about the contest, or forgot about it and would still like to make a banner, or have a half complete banner, please LET ME KNOW so that we can wait for you  So.. I think there was something else I wanted to say.. but I can't remember. (It's not my fault.. I'm blasting I GOTTA KICK START NOW by VAMPS..) uhm..Anyway, see you guys on the forum   Oh right! If any of you have your own website or forum, why not become an affiliate of RR? Just like Soundwave452? Let me know  (Somebody get me this tshirt)  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

| NEWSLETTER NUMBER NINE
Hello everyone! It's that random time again! The time you all wait for anxiously. TIME FOR A NEWSLETTER! Okay, so maybe you don't wait. But I love writing them!  So, as usual I have forgotten everything I was going to say while typing the title. >.> Well, let me see how much I remember. First off, the new updates. You may have seen some new things on the forum. Actually, didn't I send out a newsletter about it? Anyway, there's a topic up in the Announcements/News section explaining the updates that you guys need to know how to use. Please remember to vote for the BANNER CONTEST! Yes, it's time to vote now! If you would still like to put up a banner, you may do so, and the poll will be edited to include your entry. To view and vote for your favourite banner, see the event thread in the problems/suggestions section. Something not forum related exactly, but still important: There has been news going around about a virus called the "Conflicker" virus. Apparently it's probably affected millions of computers around the world, but hasn't been activated yet. This virus is supposed to activate on April 1st (yes, April fools day) So people are wondering if it's really a crazy virus, or just the world's biggest April fool's prank. Either way, be careful for the next two days please! Virus scan your computer, get that update from Microsoft (no matter how annoying the updates are) and be...careful! Having a problem with the forum? Can't post? Can't log in? Have you read..the FAQ? Trust me, the FAQ really can answer a lot of your questions. If the FAQ does not help, you can PM super~awesome~bot (preferably) The option to PM and admin or mod is still there, but at least try to PM super~awesome~bot first and wait a few days. If you can't log in or don't know how to send a PM you can always use the CONTACT button at the bottom of any page on the forum. This button will send your message to all the forum staff (Admins and Mods) Finally, if you can't even get on the forum, or there is some sort of serious issue, you can now EMAIL us directly. (almost). You can email super~awesome~bot for support. Still confused about super~awesome~bot? Don't be. He's like the support bot. Problems are reported to him so that he can try to fix it. No, he's not an actual robot I built (I wish) but, he's close enough  Finally, guys, I WANT FEEDBACK PLEASE! Am I annoying? Do I send too many newsletters? Are the updates on the forum bad? Is the forum running unually slow? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK! PM it to me, super~awesome~bot, email super~awesome~bot or use the CONTACT button to let all the staff know. Shout out to ~Miyuki~, who has given back feedback consistantly  I want you all to voice your opinions! [Sorry this is so long, only a little bit more!] Roaring Rainbows has a facebook group! If you have a facebook account, please join! We also have a newly made fanpage! Join that too! We're also on DIGG, so DIGG US if you have an account. Basically, I'll say as always, spread the word and tell your friends! And so, see you on the forum~  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |

| (This one is on time!) NEWSLETTER NUMBER TENHey guys! I have some very special news, but you don't get to read about it till later in the newsletter, hehehe Anyway, my first order of business: The Banner Contest! HARDLY ANYONE HAS VOTED D:! We can't pick a banner unless we get enough votes to make a good decision,. To vote, click or paste the link into your browser: http://roaring-rainbows.darkbb.com/problems-suggestions-f9/event-thread-the-roaring-rainbows-banner-contest-t429.htm#16200Just take a look, and pick your favourite. easy~! Now you know, as always we're trying to change up Roaring Rainbows to be as great and user friendly as possible. If you have any suggestions, please let us know! (Yes, again with the contact button!) It's at the bottom. All you do is click, and type your message. Your message then gets delivered to the administrators and moderators. In your contact button, you can really tell us what you want. What you love, what you hate, what you think needs to be improved. It helps all of you! Read a good book? Watched a great movie? In love with an artist you found on YouTube? Got an issue? Maybe a piece of news or debate topic? Wanna talk about it? Why not go to the discussion section! That's what it's there for. It uses more brain power than forum games, but is still fun! Who knows what you'll discover there~ And I'd like to say a hank you to everyone who's been participating in the Roleplay section. It's a new section and I'm happy to see it's got a good start. Thanks to JubeJube, HidanLuver and Haseeb for helping explain roleplaying, and to ~Miyuki~ for making the Arkeon Institution. I realize now, that role playing isn't that confusing, or boring as I thought. If you haven't seen the activity there already, check it out! Are you ready now? Are you ready to hear the news? Okay. Have you looked at the calendar on the forum recently? Did you notice, that super~awesome~bot's birthday is tomorrow, Monday 27? Do you know what that day means. It means.... that it's Roaring Rainbow's First Birthday!!!!!
I can't believe it. My little baby forum...isn't a baby anymore :') ← tears of joy. Haha, okay, I'm not crying. But really, I can't believe how much time has passed. Thanks to everyone that's kept Roaring Rainbows going strong! (that means all of you ^_^) Anyway, we really don't have much planned. But! BUT BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING! At the bottom of the forum, it says "Most users ever online was 7 on Thu Dec 11, 2008 7:31 pm" Tomorrow, let's change that. Let's all go on at one time tomorrow and bump up that number!! What time? 8:00 PM. Be on the forum at 8:00 PM. Make RR history! (and not to mention, that means PARTAY ON THE CHAT BOX!) Waiting to see you all tomorrow!!!  _________________ I know we could cross over  if only I could stay there by your side I know we could dream for tomorrow and share the long forgotten glorious days |
