theVPN: Change on the Horizon

[Jamison]

]theVPN:
Change is on the Horizon!

As a result of the recent VPN Staff meeting, we've decided that big changes must be made in order to ensure VPN continues to grow into a greater community for all of its members to enjoy. We know, change can be a bit scary sometimes, but in this case, it's a necessary step, and more importantly, a step that can only bring about good results. While most of these changes will be happening in the background of the activities here (though you should be seeing many improvements), there are a few changes that we can discuss now.

That being said, here is a quick overview of just exactly what these so-called "changes" are, and how they will impact YOU, as a member:

:: Process of Pickups ::

Here is a topic that seems to be getting altered a lot lately, but improvements are being made to make sure every aspiring showrunner gets a fair, unbiased shot when it comes to their pitches being picked up to series. A new voting process has been developed, which will allow pitch/pilot committee members to review your pilot, and with the help of current showrunners, vote on whether your pitch is ready to be picked up, or if it needs a little more work.

:: Splitting the Work-Load ::

For a long time, theVPN has been, more or less, operated by two people. And for some time, this method has proven to be futile, as the network is growing up, and our responsibilities are much greater.

In turn, we have hired two new forum administrators, who will have equal control of theVPN's day-to-day activities, as well as a good amount of forum moderators to help keep the forum running as smoothly as possible. Here is a list of the new VPN administrators and moderators;

VPN Admin Team
The following members will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the forum,
as well as leadership roles in different departments.

Chris Davis
