Change of Pace

Hello, for those who don't know me, you can call me CK, I've been a member of the group for some years now and have always been passionate about stamp making. It's been some time since the group was truly active and I'd like to help bring it back to what it used to be, I have plans for this, however, it's going to also rely on other people contributing, advising and generally being active as well. The key thing to note here is that I've never run a group before, let alone one on this scale, so your patience and understanding will be required if I make mistakes or things are slow to get going

Things that come to mind:
- the need to renew the super group status
- the need to re start the monthly stamp making contests, with point prizes and judge(s)
- the need to organise the moderators so that only those who are contributing remain and do so effectively
- the need to consider the voting issues (many things were expiring and only a small few were voting things in)
- the need for more articles about stamp making, including features and tutorials  (I'm thinking larger features on a monthly cycle, as opposed to smaller features every fortnight)

What I'd like to know is:
- who is still active and willing to contribute in the running of the group (please do NOT stay just for the fancy title, it's a large group and as such needs active moderators and contributors to run smoothly, there is no shame in admitting that the job isn't for you if you have other priorities)

- any ideas or volunteers to help out with the above objectives (I will be doing my best to contribute points and contests themes etc but I do not believe that every single task of the group should have to come from one person, it's a group effort, as the name implies)

- if there are any other urgent areas that I need to address, such as the chatroom (I have 0 idea of how those work or what is required to maintain them) or access to resources via the front page etc,

Thank you those who are still here and especially those are willing to help contribute to make the group become more active. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, good holidays and look forward to a great New Year. Please leave any questions and interest in contributing in the comments (being specific really helps, e.g. "I am available to help regularly vote in submissions" or "I am able to write a monthly stamp feature").

Oh and don't worry, Lumi is still around
