Wow, we are averaging at about 65 posts a day. That's pretty damn good. And this excludes my database posts :P

There's this Union of the Year ceremony going on for GS. Higher activity might be a criteria they mark with the amount of daily posts present.

Put it this way. Forum's are really outfashioned since Facebook has pretty much taken over the world.

We're not gonna get that much interaction unless GS some how adopts the social networking scheme.

A scheme that's probably appealing to mainstream audience rather than just Gamers.

Exactly, and seeing as most unions on GameSpot have an average of 10-20 posts a day, yes that is good amount for us. However, there are some unions that do get more than that, such as the Social Cafe, which is a social based union.

Anyway everyone, this coming summer we will have a brand new game called The FFFU Final Fantasy Scavenger Hunt!

Maybe we'll have to find particular things elsewhere and link to them/post them. 

Maybe my FF Shoujo Ai folder will come in handy for something besides being awesome.

The Scavenger Hunt will have members earch through the union for special Final Fantasy images that will be placed throught the union. It will be in teams or individuals, have not decided on that eyt, but basically you are finding hidden images that have been placed around the union in significant places.

Yep :) Sorry for the delay.... we will need to rush and change the voting method though. I just hope we can have enough people like on the sig competition.

Sometimes a few people who aren't active on the board respond to the Union telegrams on occassions. We had many people participate the signature competition who never post on here.

People mainly come to this union for the news updates (which is why we are the #1 Source) and for union competitions and games since we have them every month. So in a way I guess so.

Ok, I've informed Synthia that we had our Halloween banner up for a whole month so we should get our level up bonus still even if we change our banner, I sent her a message about it.

Anyway here are our December Winter banners. Angelbless is going to pick one of them, I have already sent him a message. They are the same banners, just one has something extra lol :P :D

It looks better if you download the original file and view it through Adobe Reader, so if you want to download it, just click the 'Download Original' button at the top or press CTRL+S after clicking the link below. I believe thats Command+S for Mac. 

NEW CALENDAR OF EVENTS

This will be updated on our homepage when angelbless puts up the new HTML code I made.

Please review the calendar and suggest any suggestions or problems and we will fix it ASAP.

Also for those months that have pendning activity, or if you want to add something toa  month, or if the admin of the FFFU knows of an event that is supposed to be scheduled in a month please do post it here so we can update the calendar.

Thank you all :)

A little question, all the competitions. Does it need to be a officer leading them. I would love to lead a quiz or something.

(Dread would probably win though, he is very quick in the quizes)

Of course not, members can lead certain competitions and games as well.

In fact, if you want to start your own game or competition that we don't already have you are welcome to pitch your idea here and you can lead it. The same goes for any other activities that we have, if you want to lead the Quiz, or the image guessing or any other such contest or game, you can lead it to, just let us know here.

I think the only activity that is limited to administration management is The FFFU Fantasy & The Union Awards.

Hope that answers your question :) Which game are you planning to lead? The Big Quiz?

Yeah well, the next time the big quiz is. Maybe I could lead it. It might get to hard, since I am pretty technical with the details. It was at least the Big Quiz I thought of when I wrote the comment.
