[ coffee ] newsletter #2
December, 2002
http://coffee-clique.vze.com
I hope that you all had an excellent christmas! Happy New Year as well! I thought that I should send out another newsletter, for consistancies sake. Because nobody asked to be removed, you're all still getting this letter so enjoy it! This is only a short one, because I slacked off a bit. In truth, the reason I stopped was because I sent around another batch of invites and only three accepted. I even had one who DECLINED! *sigh* I got a bit disinheartened! But never fear! Because I'm back!
CONTENT:
1. Updates on the site
- Members section reload. All members are now organised under their multiple categories, and you all have you picture links up. I think, when you visit, you'll find it a much more organised area! There are new categories, and old ones renamed! Any problems, don't hesitate to email me.
- Over 400 people have hit my counter! However, only 2 have signed my guestbook. Seriously guys, the book is lonely. I feel nigelised! :D Please sign?!!! I'll go around and sign all of yours I promise!
2. OTHER NEWS

First of all, welcome to the very first [ coffee ] newsletter ever! Just in case you’re wondering, this newsletter goes out to all those people who are members of the clique, [ coffee ], notifying you of updates and cool new stuff. This newsletter will only come out once a month, and will be very short and informative, but IF you would rather not receive it, then please just email me back and say so! I’ll take you off the list straight away! (But you’ll be missing out!!)
CONTENT:
1. Updates on the site
- Application Form is now operational.
Do you prefer a form that uses the “Freedback” website or one that uses the default email address to send? This is very important and I ask that all webmasters out there who use forms to get back to me on which one they prefer.
- Link Information
+ All members are upgraded to affiliate status (except for ‘blast furnace’ ‘bloody priceless’ and ‘headquarters’ which didn’t have any buttons on their sites. Please email me)
+ All Websites should be in the correct category with a detailed description. If you have any problems with either the category/description then please let me know and I will be more than happy to change it for you.
+ A huge list of other clique and fanlistings, as well as webrings and yahoo!groups has been added to the Other . Elsewhere section of the site. Please feel free to use all these resources!! That’s what they are there for.
- New codes are available if you don’t like the current ones! If you have a request, I will also be happy to do some more!
- The QuickBoard died! So I’ve replaced it with the good old guestbook, which can be found on the Guest . Sign section. Please sign so I don’t look sad! (PS> I got the gbook from sparklit.com which is free, no ads, really good, I recommend it!)
- [ coffee ] has got itself a splash page! I decided it was necessary to add the specifications n stuff. Hope you like the splash. I made it myself, but if anyone thinks/wants to do a better job, then go ahead!
2. Other News
- [ coffee ] has been nominated in the judgement awards. http://awards.deep-ice.com/judgement/ This is very good because it will bring more people to my site, thus more to yours!!
- [ coffee ] is looking to get hosted. I’m sick of angelfire ads. Please let me know if you know of
anywhere nice to get a domain (or if you offer yourself). I’m considering www.darkprophecies.com but they probably won’t accept me.
- The bad list is still hanging around, with WAY too many people on it. Please, if you know the people on it tell them to email me soon! You can view the bad list here:

- These people have not linked back to me:
- PIECES OF DREAMS
- ASHeaven (at vampirecows.com)
NAUGHTY PEOPLE PLEASE LINK BACK!!!
NOTE: for the owner of BLACKFURNACE.ORG I was in french the other day and I found out the french word for blast furnace and thought I’d tell you coz that’s just the kind of person I am :D Haut-fourneau
I think that’s it!!! Stay gilesy-loving everyone!
Luv,
Alex

UPDATE 1/7/03 - Hi. Listen. About this site. I lost all my databases on this, and I just don't have time to do them again. I love it and all, but I am currently doing my year 12 HSC (end of high school exams) and thus can't update often and add all the extras. I do apologise. However I am still accepting applications, so send them to me!!! Check out Call Me His Fan Girl, our latest member. Thanks guys.
UPDATE: 26/02/03 - Yes, it has been a while. I've just started yr12, so I've been really busy. Sorry. The newsletters are currently not running because I haven't had time to do anything. And thank you so much because I'm nearly up to 1000 hits!!! I love you all!

UPDATE: 03/01/03 - I added a new section, SOTM . Top Ten. This section is just so that I can recommend certain sites that maybe their webmasters couldn't be bothered contacting me.

2. Thanks to everyone for coming here! The counter says 420 and that counter is only relatively new, so thank you! However, this 420 is by no means represented in the guest book! I really would appreciate it. It makes me feel bad when no-one posts so please, sign! (Or else I'll take it away).

UPDATE: 16/11 - YO LISTEN UP! Here's two sites that need more members! They rock so visit and join! 
Buckle up, Rupert and Hello, Ripper
UPDATE: 15/11 - Thought I should let you all know, that I have everyones buttons up in the affiliates section. Also added a lot to the Adoptions section and added two new members! Ta
UPDATE 12/11 - All of those who bothered to join have now become affiliates. Hopefully this is everyone except those that didn't have an image for me to link to. The other sites that aren't members are now up on the members page anyway! :)
UPDATE 9/11 - Big changes are planned. I can't handle the fact that I emailed over 100 people and only 30 replied. I have all these good giles sites in a database and noone can access them because their webmasters are LAZY! So, the wonderful people who bothered to reply, you get your own page and I'll put up image links for all of you. Basically, everyone will be upgraded to affiliates, and the other sites that I have in the database will be put simply as links. Then, when those people finally decide to contact me, I'll upgrade them to member/affiliate status. Make sense? It's now more of a portal than a clique. PLEASE PLEASE link back to me tho. I hate doing all this work only to have it ignored. Thanks. Changes will start this wekk.
UPDATE 6/11 - Added a new page.
Adoptions . Keepers which will be for my adoptions and memberships to keepers sites... suprisingly!! :)
UPDATE 4/11 - Added 10 new sites today and put links into categories. (See the q-board as to why I did that ------>)Thanks
UPDATE 2/11 - Added HEAPS of giles/ASH yahoo!groups. Click here to view them. Its just to make life easier for you all because there are over 500. All the groups there have either over 100 members or have interesting topics. I set this 100 member limit because normally, groups with less dont update often.
UPDATE 1/11 - Out of 20 members only 3 have linked back to me! I am outraged! :) I understand that in some cases its impossible but please! ASAP! PS, the colours have just changed!
