Board Thread:Month in Review/@comment-24619563-20160802005537

Hello Eliteforcer's, This July was a big month on the Wikia! We held the first ever, Elite Force Wiki Awards, got new Staff members, and held our monthly Chat Party! Let's get into some more information about July, plus a whole bunch of stuff for August!

Elite Force Wiki Awards 2016: We kick started July holding our annual Elite Force Wiki Awards! I'd like to go ahead and announce all of the user winners once again, to give them some recognition. The winner for Favorite User was EmeraldTulip, Favorite Staff Member was LabRatsFan123, Most Active User was EmeraldTulip, and Chattiest User was Duggie Davenport! All of the trophies they won may be found on the Elite Force Wiki Trophy Case page. Congratulations once again to all of them. Dates for next year's awards will be determined later.

Chat Parties: This past Friday, we held our monthly Chat Party event, and had a great time! We played Coming Through in the Clutch Trivia, had Elite Force Roleplay, and our famous Two Minute Spam Session! This never ends does it? Next month, we'll be holding our chat party on Friday, August 26th @ 7:00PM ET! Along with this, I'd like to provide dates for all of the upcoming Chat Parties this Fall!

- September 2016's Chat Party: Friday, September 23rd @ 7:00PM ET

- October 2016's Chat Party: Friday, October 28th @ 7:00PM ET

- November 2016's Chat Party: Friday, November 25th @ 7:00PM ET

- December 2016's Chat Party: Friday, December 16th @ 7:00PM ET

Fanart Contest, Fanfiction Contest & Featured Articles: It's been a while, but we're bringing them back! Right now, all three of the contests are open for voting, plus your writing, and drawing submissions! For the Fanfiction Contest & Fanart Contest, the submissions will end on August 15th, and voting will be from August 16 - August 23, and winners will be announced on August 30th! All the links may be found here: Fanart Contest, Fanfiction Contest, Featured Articles.

Profile Picture Contest: We've done this once before, and we're bringing it back! Our annual Profile Picture Contest! This time around, it will be held on the Elite Force Wiki, plus with a new host. More information about this will be revealed later, seeing as this contest won't be held for another few months. The new host is still to be determined. This contest will be held in January 2016.

Updated Warning/Blocking Policies: Be sure to check out our Warning/Blocking Policies, since they've been updated recently. This isn't much about the Month in Review, but we just had to say it!

Inactivity for Staff Members: It's the summer time, a time where a lot of users/staff can be inactive, due to vacations, family things, etc. This is okay, but on this wikia, we need to know when you're gone, so we don't demote you for inactivity. If you plan on being gone for a while, let LabRatsFan123 know, so when a Staff check is done, you aren't warned & demoted. Specificity how long you'll be gone for, reason (nothing much, just something like "vacation", etc.), and you'll be excused.

That's about it for July! If we have anything new and exciting, it'll either be highlighted on a forum post, or put on our News widget. Be sure to always check the News widget out on the homepage, since we update it often with the newest! Let's keep the good work up as a Wikia, and get us rolling into the Fall! Also, be sure to tune into Disney XD this September, there's a lot new Elite Force coming your way!

P.S. Voting for August's Featured Articles should be up around 10-10:30PM ET, so be on the look!

Thanks, and have a good, rest of your summer!
