Studying Amino as a Whole

I'm really proud to come and see everyone making such lovely posts and sharing all of these tips! Some s are even making polls to see what others would like them to blog about. It's very refreshing to see this, rather than coming online and being bombarded with posts titled "I need help." I just wanted to take a moment to share how proud I am of all of you. I apologize for any confusion caused in the past. I want you all to know that I truly care for this community and want to see it shine. Let's all work hard to do that!

SA Updates

We have a few updates this week!

• We're not 100% sure, at this point, what the theme of the Study Space community will be. We want it to be entirely different from this one, but altogether it's a confusing decision. We have a few ideas, but of course your suggestions are always welcome!

• We will definitely be starting a welcome team soon! They will be in charge of welcoming all new to the community! Keep an eye out for the forms for that!

• Curator applications will open again soon as well. Spring break is coming up for me, and I'll have time to set the forms up. If you've been wanting to be on the leadership team, now's your chance!

• No new events or contests will be posted (at least not for a long time.) Instead, we are focusing solely on encouraging others to post helpful blogs or fun quizzes of their choosing. This way, the leaders will have more time to post tutorials and helpful things, rather than spending all of that time coming up with event ideas that go unnoticed anyway.

SA Questionnaire

Each newsletter will now come with a questionnaire, asking YOU what you want to see more of in the community. Everyone can then look at the poll results and take them into consideration. That way, not only leaders would be making tutorials or providing tips, but everyone else will know what others are wanting, and thus can participate as well!

Update about Leader Danny

I've not really wanted to come out and say this, but I'm sure most of you will understand. I have a hard time coming online every day to check in on all of you, and that's not because of anything you've done, but because of me. I have a mental illness. Social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and introvertedness (which isnt really considered a mental illness, but it basically makes me have to take time to recharge after being in social situations)

Now, it's not that big of a deal, but it does keep me from being able to socialize as others do. Some may be able to be around people for a longer period of time than I do, but I can only go so long before I start getting antsy, and then either fall into a very depressed state of mind, or I have a panic attack. And so, to take care of myself, I have to withdraw at times. And if I don't, and I exert all of my energy for a long period of time, it causes me to withdraw for a long period of time as well, a few days, a week, 2 weeks, maybe more. And so, I try to keep myself balanced so that I'm able to to social sites more often. Being the leader of a community is hard work, a big weight on my shoulders and it does take a lot out of me. It's no easy task. Of course, I don't regret it. I knew what I was getting myself into when I started this community. You're all such wonderful people. Thank you for sticking with me, and all of us. It means a lot!
