User blog:Nightmare9188/Happy New Year 2015

A new year has begun and with this several new plans and perspectives. The most known is of course the new contest. The plan for the contest is similar to last year: Four rounds with three months duration each. But unlike last years contest after the first round four rollbacks are chosen, after the second three chat mods, after the third two sysops and after the last one bureaucrat. Also there are no direct elections anymore, but instead user of the month elections, which take place on the forums instead on the blog in order to get the forums more active. They will have a major influence on the outcome of all rounds. As well there are other plans such as publishing our fanfictions on several networks, screencasting the chat on YouTube as well as streaming Google+ hangouts between members of the wiki, real life meetings between members and own-produced content such as monthly webseries. Last year we already started to promote our wiki and also had some ideas to increase its popularity. But with this year we will extend this. Probably there are also other wikis who are interested to make Wikia as a whole even more popular than it is now. But for now Happy New Year and we will start these efforts soon. For those who want to see the full award ceremony of yesterday, here you are.
