Welcome BACK to The Green Dragon!
Submitted by TheGD on: 20 May 2013, 07:01 pm
It has been over 2 years since the last UPDATE to The Green Dragon...and now is the time to refresh and restart! Welcome BACK!! The site is back online and with new vigor for anything collectible from the realms of Middle-earth. We are SO very excited to be back in the action...it has been far too long and too much has gone on in the past 2 years. The first Hobbit movie, new figures from Bridge Direct, a load of collectibles from Sideshow and Weta...and tons more!

As we start back into the thick of it, some things have changed slightly. We have ZEROED out all point transactions so everyone will start earning points with a clean slate (except for the membership points that were awarded when you registered). If you previously got points for viewing an archive or custom...those points can now be re-earned. Secondly, point values for most transactions have changed and new features are being added (some being removed too)...more on these in a minute!

IMPORTANT INFO for RELAUNCH: Any user with 1000 points or LESS was removed from the database (except a few that were commercial contacts that had registered here). If you cannot login or reset your password, you may have to re-register to get back in the thick of things.

ALL Forum THREADS have been LOCKED. Basically sine they are over 2 years old, most of the information is OBE anyway...so I have locked them up. You can STILL read them all without any trouble if you want some cool nostalgia, but if you want to discuss a similar topic to something a past thread, you should start a fresh one!

New/Changed Features: We are adding a REVIEW feature so that folks can actually review products and provide incitefull feedback on collectibles from all ranges (games, books, toys, high-end stuff, etc.). Reviews will be worth considerable points, but having said that, providing a review will have some stiff requirements. I will post the details as I vet out the review system but the REVIEW will require detailed write-ups and imagery to go with each review.

Some features are changing in value and scope. There is still a point value for recommending the site to a friend, but we are adding a REFERAL feature. While you can still recommend a friend simply with the form and an e-mail address, the REFERAL will be worth MUCH more if that person also registers with TheGD.com. Implementation details to follow! Online Collectibles: If anyone is also a member of The Shadow & Flame site, we are initiating something similar to their virtual collectibles 'store'. We will be creating virtual collectibles that you can 'purchase' with your experience points! A very cool way to 'spend' your points and share in all things Middle-earth. Again...I am still working out the details, creating the collectibles, and seeing how this will impact our GIVEAWAYS!

Dragonmates: We are working on a new feature called 'Dragonmates' that will enable members to create groups or add members to their 'favorites'. This isn't anything point worthy (yet!), but a concept for creating smaller communities within the larger!

LOST Features:We are scrapping the SIGHTINGS feature unless someone makes a valid argument for keeping it. While the concept is excellent, maintenance was cumbersome and I am not sure anyone really got anything out of it.
