What associations should new members be joined to - 12/11/2007 7:41 pm My first thoughts are to automatically sign new members up to "FA - Announce Your Association!" and " FA - Help"

I'm also thinking that we should probably limit the list to official associations.

Any other ideas?

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/11/2007 10:22 pm I wouldn't want to overwhelm them.... I think the ones that you suggest are the best ones for a new member to go to.

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/12/2007 8:54 am There's an ANNOUNCE YOURSELF association where folk introduce themselves which I think would be good to have 'em join.

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/13/2007 4:56 pm Agreed with Eric. And us existing members should also make it a point to announce ourselves there.

One other I'd consider adding is Madhouse Tavern, so that there's something social as well.

I do agree that the list should be relatively short.

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/13/2007 7:06 pm I think in a way we could combine both the Announce and Madhouse together to one place where Everyone knows your name!

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/18/2007 7:02 pm My thoughts are that if we include associations other than official ones, we should have a full commitment from the association owner that they will run the associations under the same rules and standards as the official ones.

We also probably want to do a periodic review to make sure that associations we are placing new members in are appropriate.

I don't think it would be a good idea to automatically sign up new members for any non official asso. A suggestion to look at the top 5 most active assos is a better idea.

Don't get me wrong- the madhouse is a great place and was run exceptionally well by Deborah while I was gone and every new member is so very welcome- but no non official asso should be favored over others. There has been more than one social asso on this site. No one should be promoted over any others.

I also don't know if I want to necessarily follow the official rules like an official asso. I don't think I break any but I don't want to have to worry about it.

Agreed. Only a small number of official ass's. I like the 'top five' idea too. They can explore from there.

I love Madhouse, but it might put some people off who have just signed up. Not everyone's "cup of tea".

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/20/2007 4:16 pm I just invited the most recent members to join the Madhouse along with a note welcoming them. This might be the best way to get new members included in non-official assos.

In fact it would rock if other asso owners did that on a regular basis.

Re:What associations should new members be joined to - 12/22/2007 7:21 pm FMS an excellent idea and it gives Mods a reason to be active. Glad your back at Madhouse and when I invite people my suggestion is to find me there because I had a dialog somewhere else on the net with one other person and well it is a place I hang out like Sims Garden...both are happy places.
