This message is for federation staff:
- 78ch3, can you update the application form soon?
- Can we fire RSriram2010 for inactivity? I'm aware of what happened, but I think it's about time we hire a new moderator. Hopefully RS comes back, though.
- MClovers, would you like to make the first draft for the June newsletter? Remember, we're aiming for a June 15 deadline.

Hey shop owners or those who are interested!

Once a month we try to send out a federation newsletter that recaps recent events and outlines some of our goals as a federation. Subscribing and unsubscribing is as easy as letting us know here!

Please consider subscribing: we're only at two subscriptions at the moment! We planned to add a newsletter question to our shop application, but that has been delayed for a bit.

Okay!

Your shop looks good but I'm following 78ch3's rule of having shops be five days old before joining. You can expect your application to be formally accepted as soon as June 8.

I'm also following the rule with my new shop which will become eligible on Sunday, I believe.

Yep! I can't seem to find the old newsletter to base it off of, so is it alright if you can repost the old newsletter in the thread?

Owners Message

So far, the new USS has started off pretty well. We've gained 15+ shop applicants, I’m seeing new posts daily and there is very little negative argument going on. It didn’t take long for the new USS to gain traction after it's reboot on my birthday to 2 months later. However, I ran into an issue where the first page of the USS was unaccessible, due to a “security issue” error appearing. I’m pretty sure this is a glitch in the system. Others could access it fine, I could not. I need to use my PC to edit the front page, which is inconvenient as it doesn't take as long to boot up my iPad as it does with my PC (even though the difference is rather small). I’m hoping this issue is not permanent, but for now it is difficult to get things updated. The USS team is doing a great job, and I hope they can continue doing this in the future.
