With 2010 only a month underway, TAFL has already set about making some large and exciting changes that we'd like to draw your attention to.
As we have previously stated, the network continues to grow steadily, and our current backend is quickly reaching the peak of its abilities. Since we have hundreds of owners, as well as a dedicated staff, we recognized that a process both smoother and more efficient is something we truly needed to work on. Thanks to our wonderful Development Team, we are excited to announce that we will be introducing a new system for Applications. Not only will it ease the process that a staffer must go through when handling applications, but it will also help owners keep track of their pending applications via the "Your TAFL List" feature. As TAFL puts this new system into effect, we will be
disabling the applications form starting tomorrow,
Friday, January 29th until TBA in order to make this a smooth transition.
While we know you're just as excited about these new changes as we are, we urge you not to flood categories with applications before the forms go down. This will only slow the transition and make it harder on Applications staffers to make the switch. In addition, once the forms go down, any applications received by creative means or applications sent through other forms, including the contact form, will be
IMMEDIATELY discarded. We ask for your patience as we make these changes, so that they can be as quick and painless as possible.
In addition, you might notice the Message Board out of service periodically during this week - please do not panic. While we update our Applications system, we are also taking the opportunity to update our Message Board. Should the board go down, or any other serious outage take place, we will be using
Twitter to keep everyone updated.
We thank you for your patience as we implement these exciting new changes, and of course, any questions can be directed to the Senior Staff at
