In the last few days, Joke, De De and myself, have made a few more tweaks to Citizens of Boomtown, to add to the changes we’d made a couple of months ago.
By far the biggest new change is to the name of the forum. A few weeks ago we asked for ideas for a new name for City Hall – what we wanted was something with more impact and a name which better described what City Hall was all about. We’re sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you…but you know, sometimes real life just gets in the way of all the fun stuff 😊
Thanks to everyone who suggested new names for City Hall…there were some great ideas. But the congratulations must go to De De, who thought our forum should be called “Boomtown”. I felt “Boomtown” better represents what the forum has actually grown into …. not just one virtual building to knock around in, but lots of different places to explore. I hope you all agree it’s the right choice?
The other changes we’ve made are on the landing page: https://www.citizensofboomtown.com/
As a teaser to wannabe members, they can now explore some parts of Boomtown, to see what it’s all about. Importantly, non-members can’t reply, edit or post anything and we've made sure that categories like “Here’s a Postcard” and “Boomtown Confessional”. are accessible to members only.
The new landing page also has links to the merchandise and discography pages of The Rats’ official website, so anyone wanting their fix of recorded or live Rats music, can easily get to that – after all, this is all about the music!!
There are a few more small things to change but we’ve now made most of the tweaks we had in the pipeline. I want to thank Joke and De De for all of their help. and also to thank all of you that posted in your ideas for new names for City Hall.
So go to Boomtown, have a good old explore and please….enjoy.
Looking forward to your posts.
