How to Thank Instructables

Step 15Operation: "Trio of Deserts"

Operation: "Trio of Deserts"
So, once I had coined the idea of creating 'trophies' to send to -ibles, the next thing was to organize it all.

Hidden Chatroom:

Firstly, we needed to talk, I already had a Meebo account, so I set up a chatroom, and hosted it on some of my web space. Me and Bumpus talked in here a lot, discussing things, I then went on to set up a off site forum, again, hosted on my web space. (you will read about this next).

The chatroom came with a few problems, mainly that if we linked to -ibles, people could follow us back via the 'referrals' in the stats on -ibles. The chatroom got moved, and reshaped many times to avoid people finding it. We also had a few problems with radiation leaks, and over refrigeration.

The chatroom, where we all got together to discuss project ideas. The chatroom was exposed by DJ Radio (formally known as Radioactive, renowned as Coolz) a few weeks ago. After banning him, and completely removing the room from the page, we set it in a much more secure page, which needs two different passwords to enter, after registry of course ;-), and remains hidden away in the vastness of teh_Intarwebzz..
We had some funny, extremely irrelevant and completely hilarious conversations in that room..

Hidden Forum:

Okay, with the chatroom in place, i then went on to create some forums, The name came from a recent conversation I had been having with Gorillazmiko about swords, thus 'The Three Deserts' was born, and still lives, and can be found here - The Three Deserts
Once this all comes out, i will make the forums free access, so you can all read about of planning!

Hidden Group:

I set up a not-so-hidden group on instructables to get a set number of participants in the project, so I could periodically remind them to check the forums. While keeping tabs on who's almost done, and who hasn't an idea yet I could keep everyone working at a similar pace. A few members, outside of our project , tried to join the group, which, obviously they were turned down.

The group is still here - Cookies, Pie, Cake
I chose that name because of what the foods are, desserts, and three of them..
:D
