Okayy, so any ideas on waht we could call it

Thread Three - Late Night Lounge Podcast - For shoutouts and general discussion


Show presenters are being finilised at this moment. Requests will be taken Saturday night with shows being aired Sunday.

Ooooo I Like iit

A couple of tips...

Can I ask you use the team room forum for most or all your discussions as it makes judging who did what easier.

One other thing is please try and wait - a reasonable amount of time - for all team members to be around to contribute to the task and don't just jump into decisions. That gives team members who are not always online more of a chance to contribute.

Can we all please confirm the above plan is what we have discussed on MSN by replying to this post?

I agree

We are not jumping into descicions. All team members were online for the duration of creating this task. All have been given suitable roles.

I'm very pleased with the progress that we've made tonight. Everyone has done their bit to contribute ideas and I think this task more people have stuck in to help out.

I wasn't saying you were, just making a general point to both teams.

As our radio idea is alot of hard work, it's not always possible to wait for all the members to be online, they have other commitments aswell away from the show. If we need to make decisions then sometimes they will have to be made by the people that are online. We'd need alot longer to plan if you wanted us to wait around for everyone to be online. We will try our best to meet your tips.

Partly due to this task being a much longer , tougher one than the last one. We can pull it off.

Mathew, its up to us to make something that givers us enough time to discuss though

Understood. In which case we have met all your tips with the exception of plans being planned out here , as we find MSN much easier. To combat this , however , I have drawn up our plan at the top of the page which details all the information you would expect. This is a very , very hard task after all , and TiBB's enviorment makes planning out quiet hard.

-The Taskjackers.

Timing is only a small part of it Billy. We have all day tomorrow to sort things out (well the few of us that aren't back at school yet)

Okay to recap.

You have until Saturday night at 5pm to come up with three new threads.

James will make two sub forums for each team. You then post your three threads in these subforums. The most popular and replied to forum will win!

Good luck guys! You then have until Sunday night for people to post in these subforums!

The losing team's leader will chose two people to return to the boardroom. One of the three will be fired.

Details on the second firing of the night and the two twists, will be announced later.

Thanks for the update :thumbs:

UPDATE
Just a little update to notify James etc. of what is happening. All the technical side of things will be sorted by tomorrow evening, all of the radio software will be uploaded to the server and a new mini-site will be made by Matt which will display all of the contact information and a link the radio streaming.
Also a pilot show is being planned for tomorrow evening to make sure that everything is going to run smoothly. The first show is being planned for Saturday night and will hopefully take place from 6pm-7pm. Also another show MIGHT go ahead on Sunday, but only last for 45 minutes, maybe from 6:00pm-6:45pm.

I wish to make an important announcement to all Taskjackers.

As Sam has said , this task is centred on Subforum Replys. With that in mind we could have an amazing station but it would mean nothing if people are not replying.

With that in mind I encourage everybody to do what they can to gain replys from members during the show.

I would also suggest that all shout-outs and requests be done via a thread , as opposed to U2U - as it will further our Forum replys even further.

Cheers...

Great idea Stu, you have been a great help! :thumbs:

A word of advice, publicity is assential to this task, you can advertise using sigs if you want, but you don't need to, as replies is what you need to win!

Yeah I've just been reading through the replies here and it sounds like it's starting to take shape.

I think a requests thread, shout-outs and general comments sound a good way to get started, once the sub-forums are up then we can all start as many threads as we like and see who gets the most replies.

I'd like it if every thread was replied to, regardless of who started it, and everyone is acknowledged within the team. As leader, I will be keeping an eye on the Forum to ensure it works out and is used appropriately etc.

I'm offline this evening, but will be around during the day today and also tomorrow to do whatever is needed.

We can only have three threads in the sub-forum.

Sorry I wasn't aware of that, I'll be looking at the 3 threads to see how many replies we get, did you want me to start all the threads when I get chance or do you want to decide amongst yourselves who starts them?

Yeah you can start them as soon as James puts the sub-forums online on Saturday, I was thinking the three threads could be:

- Area with link to mini website and a picture of the logo
- Requests and shoutouts
- Shows and presenters

What does everyone else think?
