i would like to help out with the topicstarter. of course i know it will be time-consuming to make the "perfect" topic starter. this includes everything about the boys...profiles, pictures etc.
nanshi: do we need to post the topic starter in here or should we PM it to you? thank you.
... or you could just copy and paste everything I have up. HAHA just kidding. I would like it if everyone collaborated with the topicstart. It creates more unity... especially when people feel as though they have contributed something. A brief example: when I was creating topicstarts a few months back (when we started doing this cleanup thing)... basically, some people would post a handful (like 6-8) links of youtube videos that they thought would be nice in the topic start. Others would post up images, others posted up discographies, brief histories for me... etc. And then I just took everything else (with a little help from wikipedia!) and put it together for a topicstart.
Note: the topicstart does not have to be thoroughly exhaustive and comprehensive (read: I certainly don't want it looking like a wikipedia page or anything! No need to be that thorough!). Case in point: I think my current topicstart is TOO LONG!
In other words: please post up links/informations/etc that you would like to go into the topicstart. The person who is "in charge" (and I use that term loosely because I wish for everyone to feel as though they were a part of the topicstart) of creating the final product can start putting everything together as he/she feels necessary. You don't necessarily have to -- I do have universal editing powers, so I *can* edit your post -- PM me your first post... but you can if you'd like (read: I would prefer it if you did so...

). After all, I wouldn't like to edit YOUR post without your permission (especially if you've done nothing wrong!)... but NO NO NO NO! don't post it in here! That would ruin the purpose, right? Well, *I* like my topicstart to be a surprise anyways. Once you think everything is a go, you can just click the handy "New Topic" button at the top of the Korean Male Artists forum and... create the new topic!
*I do have a few tips that are... pretty much necessary in the new topic (small things though). So yes, I would like to receive a PM with the topicstart so I can make sure it's a go...

I understand that this is a 'lengthy' process (although... I did mine in under an hour. But then again, I wasn't a fan back then)... so please don't feel pressured (but if I don't have any indication that the thread is being set up -- such as a PM -- or even organized within a few days time... I will set up a new thread. I don't mean to seem threatening, but... the longer it takes for the new thread to get set up, the more THIS thread will grow... and the reason we are setting up the new thread is to... well, keep this thread under control, ne?). The limit to actually have the thread set up is one week. I would like to see it done in three days. Why? Because I want to keep DBSK-pt.2 under 100 pages! And I think in a week, it'd probably grow to over 100 pages. That, and I've already bent the rules a bit (you guys seemed to be so happy chatting to each other -- something I still frown about -- that I didn't really want to break up the... chitter) and let you carry on for over the two month mark. I know it's a bit weird and people who probably wanted to contribute won't be able to -- get the word out, I suppose -- if they don't check back often... but this is something that must be done...
I hope you guys don't think I'm being excessively mean (or moddish)... but...[/spoiler]

firefly06: thanks for volunteering! If it would help, I can send you my first post (links and images all included) if you would like to use some of my 'original' (cause it's not really original) material if that would help get the ball rolling.
