I've tried to write this as a smooth, inspirational piece about the TFP, how great it is, and all the great things we're gonna be doing with it in the future. Unfortunately, I haven't really been in the right frame of mind to let it flow, so you're all getting the quick and dirty version. I can only hope that you'll weave in your own exclamations of grandure to coincide with all the cool things I hope to do.

The TFP as a message board is approaching terminal capacity. There is only so much you can fit into a board of this type. Sure, I could add little features here and there, but they would only serve to promote chatter, as opposed to the real currency - discussion. That's why we have to think a little harder to keep the world looking fresh and interesting.

Here are things that are slated for the future:

1. The return of Tilted Magazine. Art is taking the helm on this one and he's positively inspired. We're hoping for the same turnout as the first version, but we're taking it at a much more responsible pace. You're all going to get a chance to contribute, so keep your eyes peeled for our open call of submissions. There will be guidelines for submitted work, but we know many of you are anxious to be a part of this, so it wont be too difficult.

2. New moderator hires. I will be asking for moderator applications sometime soon. It's time to polish up that posting record if you'd like to be heavily considered.

3. Knowledge base compilation. I would like to work on a compilation (perhaps a wiki) of the various resources that TFP users have created over the years. I'm all for making information more readily availible, so this project will be aimed at careful organization and accurate information.

4. Tilted Cafe. I've posted about this before. I've talked about this before. I moved to New York to persue this idea. I'm still very enthusiastic about it. Just think - a real life Tilted community. I would like to calmly mention it on the off-chance that someone out there is willing to help me with any one of the following: grant requests, grant offers, a lot of fucking money to be invested in a community and culture project, business advice, or any random ideas.

5. Media Expansure. Eventually... you will get Tilted in many more ways than one. The in-between is the mystery. Still figuring it out.

If you have anything to say about any of the above ideas, please get in touch with me so we can have a little talk. Thank you.

And thank you once again for keepin' it Tilted.
