A Simple Announcement
Posted: April 1st, 2014, 9:09 pm
Hello All.
Yesterday, April 1st we continued our tradition of letting the staff have some fun and generally do whatever devious ideas that we could think of to the board. However We as a whole decided to do one other prank, and that was to create the idea that some of scioly.org was not free anymore, and thus we setup the Paywall for the Test Exchange. This Prank served two major purposes, the first was to get you guys to react to our “change in policy”, and the second was to serve as a reminder. Scioly.org is a community resource, it is (and always will be) totally free to access all the materials on the site. However this total freedom does come at a price. The price is that you as users must contribute to the site in order for everyone to benefit. If you benefit from the test exchange, you should upload tests to help others. If you find the images helpful on the image gallery, please please upload images in order to help others. If you want to continue to benefit from the wiki pages, you yourself should take some time and put information onto the wiki. The information does not have to be formatted, that is something the staff can do, but the information should be added so that those who need information can benefit. Submit information so that everyone can benefit as a whole.
This “prank” was a reminder of how much you guys value the resources that Scioly.org, has to offer, and how many of you take advantage of these resources, so please think about how you felt when the test exchange disappeared, and take the time to give back to our community.
