Hello Yahooka members,

My name is ResidualEnvy an I am your new Community Manager. My job here is simple, to update and upgrade yahooka.com to make it a better place for all members to interact.

A little bit about myself: I am 28 years old living in the Boston area. I was a daily smoker until this past December. What happen? I got married, and unfortunately although my wife is ok with me smoking she is not ok with the money I spend on it. Now'a'days I smoke maybe once a week when a friend brings some around.

So that's me in short. I will be making significant changes to yahooka.com. The first being a change to the front page.

My Goals For Yahooka.com:

* Move all information on the main page to a wiki or article based system
* Create a "portal" page as the main page, this will be an "extension" of the current forums.
* Increase activity from current member base.
* Bring in new registrations
* Design a new style/theme which will include a new logo.
* Clean up database to decrease load times
* Install modifications to again boost activity

I've already seen many of you concerned with the dated main page and all the links/information listed there. This will be my first concern and I will be working on it asap. However a few questions I'd like you guys to answer so I can see what else needs priority.

* Are there any errors/bugs/issues that need my immediate attention?
* Are there any features that you could not live without?
* Are there any features that you'd like to see removed or expanded?
* When visiting other sites, do they offer something you'd really like to see on yahooka?

I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Regards,

Envy
