Snippy Bon-Bon

We love Snippy – our friendly orange bird logo creature.

He goes skating, dancing, turns psychedelic and changes color, and he's got great taste in music and art! Have a look here.

We've thought for a while about creating a line of Snippy "objets-de-art" and memorabilia and other things that will allow Snippy to show off more of his cute and cuddly personality.

The first piece to be created is the "Snippy Bon-Bon" a hand made soft sculpture of Snippy.

Most of them will be given away to lucky eSnippers for fun and random things, but they will eventually be available to buy through the site, too.

Like – the eSnipper with the most commented file.

Or, the eSnipper who has made the most comments.

And anything we – or you  – can come up with!

Let us know what your ideas are –

Old friends - but new Moderators!

Hi Everyone -

Since Jake our music guy has taken a looong vacation to India, we have been looking for people who want to be involved in the communities, in a moderator position. A couple of people we had our eye on, some have already been helping out in different ways, and some I badgered until they couldn’t say no anymore! LOL

We want to welcome Genise, Dale and Jamlover who will be part of the team, joining Ian!

All extremely talented, all with lots of knowledge.Mods_2 

Yay! Hi guys!

Jamlover will show his colors in Electronic, Dale and Genise in Karaoke – and as I know Genise has a passion for Reggae, you might find her discovering what's what there, too.

They are great because they love music and the people who make it; they care about the community and are generous and spirited with their writing.

We are still looking for more people, so if you are interested – let me know.

Lonnie

Updating you

The community pages should be working better this coming week: there is a new trial in place and it will be watched to see how it goes.

The download button will stay as is for now – we really hear your requests, and it still might be made the default option.

It's just not happening yet.

or - What in the World is Going on with the Community Pages...?

Hi to all

To all those who have wondered what is going on with the community pages.

Well, i'll tell ya.

(I did write about it before, but that was in another place...)

What's going on is a rebuilding of them.

Outwardly, they seemed fine - but they were outdated and demanded an overhaul. So we decided to put them together again, so they would be absolutely fabulous.

Now, we have done it, but there have been some surprises while we were working on it.

And there have been other things that happened at the same time, which caused other things.

In short - things have gone slower than planned.

I can guess this is frustrating to some of you.

It will be over soon.

Take care, and stay warm.

Lonnie
