Newsletter #01 - May 2007

spir3d

Greetings everyone!

Our first newsletter has been sent to all of you - our mindful members!

Please check your email - if you haven't got it - chances us your spam, junk filter [thanks Hotmail!] or other mail server security blind friend has caught it. Please add the email address newsletter@mindspired.com to the safe senders list - as we will try to send out our newsletter on a monthly basis.

For a quick overview - below you will find the text-only version of it. Please feel free to comment/discuss/reply to this topic - if there is any other information you want to see part of it - suggest it!

Cheers,
Spir3d

P.S. Apologies for my missing signature and blurb in the newsletter - but I enjoy a lot those bubble baths and, well, sometimes they lead to uncontrollable results. Especially when a certain lady is concerned - or very relaxed, so to speak.

Somehow, speak - that is.

Enjoy the read and feel free to comment!

mindspired.com Newsletter - May 2007

Greetings mindful members.. and let us introduce you to our first newsletter!

As most of you already know, we have spent some time redesigning our home page. The look is much more pleasing to the eye and allows for easier navigation around the site. Our special thanks to all the members who gave us suggestions and feedback on the site! We hope you enjoy it! [the quick survey on the home page that just ended - clearly indicates that we didn't mess things up with version 2.1 - well, not too much - yet]. We will be running quick surveys constantly - first survey on orgasms has been launched in the weekend and we will keep all of the historic results for your viewing pleasure. We find it useful to collect and present opinions on general sexual topics - and discuss those further in our steamy forums. Hold them tight - the temperature will slowly rise to higher degrees! [Celsius or Fahrenheit, as per your choice - we are very flexible!]

The voting system has been disabled for the stories. It is under testing for the new module and will be turned ON [pun intended!] as soon as possible. Meanwhile, all stories are being paginated and formatted to allow for a much easier reading.

Many of you have asked about the photo gallery. We have added one block on the right where you may access the complete album. While we were arranging the new version of the site and some of us were feeling playful, we did toy with some ideas and the photo gallery was one of them. It was immediately a big hit so we have no intention of taking it away! Right now you may still access it from the bottom of the recent activity block through MyAlbum icon and we are in process of changing it so you may access if from the top menu. This will take place before May 14, 2007. Some additional top menu features will be changed as well, take some time to review them.

We also have a couple of new additions to the front page that are in the works. Upon registering, you have already agreed that you are of legal age and are aware of the content involved in the site. Who needs to be reminded each time they log in? We will utilize this space for important news, contest announcements, member recognition, awards, and general mindless thoughts from us, your mindful and playful [pun NOT intended!] hosts.

Have you all noticed Jonathan’s new space? We think he did a great job introducing himself to the members. It's clear that he has a few fans already and may need to hire some protection for him soon. Or is that purchased in the drug store? We look forward to his next piece and are quite sure that you will find it very inspiring. The man has quite a way with words! Keep up the good work JP; it is always nice to be entertained by you.

Once the home page is completed, we will start to work on the chat features. As most of you have already inquired about it, the profile feature is not accessible through chat. This will be addressed very soon. We have also added sex and age [optional] the profile as well. Most of us would like to know if we are talking to a male or female. If for no other reason, we don’t want to offend the other person. It’s very difficult to tell gender from some of the screen names [take 'msounds' for example, what kind of gender that can be?? Right - pretty much anything]. [And.. really, do we want to know? *rethinking the gender option*]

There is a list of random comments that we plan to have some fun with as well. We will be asking for your suggestions, please make some of them naughty (but nice) since this feature is available in all three rooms. Get your minds ready on this one.. we’ll be asking for your help shortly.

Our idle chat feature has been engaged. If a member remains idle in the chat area for 30 minutes, he/she will be logged out of chat. Once our numbers rise, we will change this setting to 15 minutes. We are looking for people that wish to have a conversation and this will also help eliminate web traffic.


In regards to recent forums activity - the icons have been slightly changed and additional artwork is on its way. The goal is to make all screens areas as clean [but very erotic and sensual!] and intuitive as possible. To further induce other types of stimulations, we have added a topic for everyone to get involved in inside the Feedback forum. We are looking for avatars/icons for the stories categories. Please find/create and submit those as erotic and tasteful as possible. We enjoy inviting our members to get involved - after all - it’s your site too!

Special thanks go to Lushi who is graciously assisting in finding the most erotic photo for our photo album display. Seems fitting, doesn't it? She's quite an erotic lady herself. Thanks Lush!


Thank you again for reading our informational email - our plan is to send this newsletter on a monthly basis and we are very pleased to have you and your playful minds part of mindspired.com!


Your mindful [at times] hosts,
Lily and MS

P.S. For those of you still wondering - Spir3d was not available or not quick enough to sign this newsletter - his long bubble baths [or was it dry showers?] apparently consumes a lot of his - umm - mindless time. Yes, he is _that_ slow.
