DO NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE NOT AN ADMIN. '''IF YOU DO, YOU WILL RECEIVE A 1 DAY BLOCK. NO EXCEPTIONS.'''

Hello fellow admins, welcome to the first Administrator Discussion thread of 2016. We are just a few days away from April so I thought this would be the perfect time to start up a new thread. First off let's recap some of the recent events coming to BTFF.

Spotlighted
If you haven't seen Toon's thread (here). Then yes we have been spotlighted and will appear all over Wikia and under other wiki's pages for a full month. (Expires: April 17, 2016). It's thanks to our recent efforts in cleaning our wiki up that we've gotten to this point and this spotlight has allowed a few new users to make their way to our wiki as well.

Support Groups
If you haven't seen my thread (here) then yes we will be reviving Support Groups after our last one in early January. They will be hosted on TEE the second and fourth Saturday's of every month starting in April. Times will be posted a full week before the Support Group takes place. Currently I'll be hosting since I hosted the last couple but Ulti is free to also host anytime he's free or any other admin for that matter.

Fanon Con
Fanon Con is just around the corner! Starting this Monday will be our Fanon Con x Ester Sunday mix event! Once again see this thread (here) for all the updates encase you forget. Ulti will judge the Art Comp, Mig the Normal Writing, Toon the Creative Writing, and I'll do the main blog.

Best Content
Encase you didn't know, Street came up with a new update for Best Content. He brought the idea to me and together we are working on updating it. He should be putting out some update blogs in the near future for our collected ideas on the page.

Topics
Alright let's move on to some topics we need to discuss this month.


 * Alien Fest - We will be holding the next one in May as per usual. We should discuss when to post the thread asking people to vote for what alien they want to host the fest.


 * Year of Unity - What direction do we want to head in? Who want's to work on the blogs? What should be our goals?


 * Archives - As per what Sci suggested before he left (see here), we will be working on promoting the cleanup of all alien archives for this month.


 * Services - Really only CaT is doing services atm. We should work on trying to inspire more people to start up their own services.

Other then those four, if you have any topics you want to bring up, feel free to do so down below.

Our wiki has made some great efforts to clean up and improve since November. A lot of our Community pages have been updated or created, our new design is working well, we've got an updated main page, many new series have been created, a lot of the site is being regularly updated (top bar, main page, featured pages, etc), and the list goes on and on. With the reboot approaching ever so closer by the day, it's reassuring to know that we will have a quality wiki ready for that next generation to discover and for our current generation to continue using.

Special shout out for all the work done goes to Mig, Ulti, Toon, myself, Rob, and Reo.
