This Community Exists For A Reason

Okay, people, might I make a request? We have two livejournal communities (this and ppc_hq) that exist soley for us, to share news and missions and whatnot, in a very simple and efficient manner.

Might I suggest that we actually start to use it?

I have no problem with all PPCers who have LiveJournals friending each other, but it drives me crazy to have filtered friends pages that are full of non-PPC-related posts concerning anything else that's happening in your lives - because, no offense meant, I don't know all of you that well, and I don't have time to sift through post after post looking for missions. A community would be a thousand times easier - that's why they exist.

I realise a lot of people (myself included) want to post missions on their own journals; fine, no worries. But how about making cross-posts to the PPC community(/ies) for missions and the like so that we actually do have a useable alert system for any new missions? It's really not that much extra work.

Besides, both the_ppc and ppc_hq are looking kind of empty. Lonely, even; there are very few updates. Why don't we give them some life back? I'm going to start by making a master post for all my existing missions, so that there's some place other than my directory and our Wiki from which they can be found.

It would be very much appreciated if the rest of you could do the same, at least for all new missions.



(Also, on a more random note, why are there two different communities?)

Because the inhabitants of the PPC are insane.

(or was that last question rhetorical?)

Half serious, actually, but unimportant overall. Still, that's a good answer.

I'd actually considered posting any future missions (assuming I ever get around to writing them) here, but wasn't really sure about how to go about tagging and such so that they would be findable later.

And I think the other community may actually be a roleplaying community of sorts.

It looks like we need a maintaner to allow tagging. We'll probably have to nag hS when he comes back. Either way, hopefully we can make it work :)

I forget. Also, I have not completed any PPC things in such a long time, it's rather gotten out of my consciousness. >_>

I'm a maintainer? I have no idea how that happened. I thought my wife was in charge of this one.

I'm a little out of touch right now, so I've no idea what's going on. However, I agree that we can use this community a lot more than we do.

And I do know why there are two communities. ppc_hq is where the Agents hang out. Some time ago there was a thing where a number of us gave our Agents LJs of their own. the_ppc is where PPC-related stuff gets posted by Boarders. As I recall, it actually came into existence mostly so that we could keep track of everyone's LJs.

Oops, time's running out. Er, see you all around?
