But I would recommend setting up a GTX0 Twitter and Instagram profile and start tweeting about things.

Kind of. People on the teams I'm founding actually rank *higher* than admins -- they're basically superadmins like me. However they can't do anything without the approval of a majority of their teammates and different teams manage different aspects of the site.

Xhin,
Advertising isn't my forte, but if you need help with other things (moderating, or something similar) then let me know. I've got extra time to burn since grad school and trying to so some volunteering.
I'm glad to see you are putting yourself as a priority now. I really don't want you to go down the same route Mike did where it begins to cost you your health and livelihood.

Are any other teams planned?
Also I could at least give my opinions and vote on things. I don't see myself actually doing all that much but who knows. Above all else I think this site needs more people so I guess I wouldn't mind throwing my hat in the ring if I can maybe do something about it. I mean I'm not sure if anyone on this site is very qualified for this anyway so I guess.

Can agree with this idea though. It's usually a good thing unless someone managing it says something crazy or stupid. And even then sometimes bad exposure can end up turning out to have good results.

Other than the advertising team the only team that's definitely planned is one for aesthetic stuff.

Have you reached the point where you just can't stop making snarky comments? I don't mean any offense with that just wondering if you're always like this.

Also, have you considered a Twitter bot? Not like, the annoying spam-everyone's comments kind, but a more tailored one that pulls from pre-sorted responses relevant to the topic at hand?

Yea I was a mod from 2003- whenever GT finally imploded.
To be fair, I can't spell my own name most of the time, so might not be the guy to ask.

Twitter, yes. Facebook, definitely. Instagram, though, would be awful. There is no reason for an Instagram of a site that is primarily just walls of text. You don't want to create an account just because it's "social media." If the platform doesn't really work for you, don't use it.

So so far we have
** Xhin -- will be an official part of the team
** Cetasaurus -- cool with whatever
** Knokkelmillenium -- wants to help vote on things
** poptart -- wants to write strategy and stuff
** Jack of all Games -- has lots of time. The kinds of stuff we'll probably be doing is more like moderating so it's a good fit.
I'm trying to get weid man to join up because the guy already does lots of networking, but it might be a while before that happens.
I'm going to go ahead and move foward with this. If anyone gets interested later, there'll be maybe a 3-month window where you can join easily before you have to be approved by the Advertising Team.

Also, I've added "maintain social media" to the list of duties of the Advertising Team, though I'm going to give everyone on staff access to post stuff (if possible).

It's probably not a great idea to give many people access to post. People should feel encouraged to make suggestions, but it's better to have a small group of people, like 2 or 3, who oversee maintaining posts so that we have a consistent identity, tone, and style to the social media. If it gets too disjointed, or there are clearly too many cooks, it becomes easy to tune it out, not follow, or unfollow. (Because we also want to make sure we're not posting too much, also, which can happen when too many people are responsible for it.)

When do we get tools like that? Also out of curiosity will we technically have the ability to enforce rules and such if no other staff are around?

No, that role belongs exclusively to the mod team.

Xhin, do you want content restricted to the Embassy forum or can we continue a general discussion here?
Otherwise there are some questions I'd like to ask before proposing anything.
