Mod Post: Updates Complete; I'll Stop Spamming Now!

Good morning icon_tutorial!

You may notice I have been spamming the hell out of this community in the last twelve hours. I offer my sincere apologies, but I got backlogged on projects and ended up doing everything all at once. Here's sort of a summary of everything that's been done:

-The Community Memories were given a complete overhaul between December 30th and January 9th.

-The Community Profile and Rules were rewritten (and hopefully clarified) about two weeks ago, with the inclusion (earlier today) of brand-new, comprehensive resource posts in the "links and resources" section.

-A new post explaining how to use the Memories is up.

-The brand-new FAQ Post is up.

-Anyone who asked to be affiliated with the community in the last month has been added to the Userinfo accordingly.

-The community layout and sidebar will be adjusted sometime in the next week to update the links to the FAQ and instructive posts.

-I went through the entire community membership list and removed all the deleted journals so that the membership count on our profile page is, in fact, accurate.

I sincerely apologize for clogging all your friends' pages; if anyone else had posted this many lengthy posts in so short a time I'd be about ready to beat him or her with a stick. In this case, though, I hope the ends justify the means.

And as I sign off, two personal notes. One, please take a look at the communities listed as Affiliates in our userinfo. I promised a few people, who asked very nicely, that I'd try to weasel a community promotion into icon_tutorial; I've decided I can't bend the rules that far for myself, but I can encourage you to look at the Affiliates list. Two, thank you all for your kind responses to my posts today. It's all worthwhile when I don't have the sensation that everything's just shooting out into the empty ether.

Seriously done for a few days now,
