The Current Regime

Hi all. As you may be aware we are currently experiencing some problems with our checkout and it's not working. This is because our merchant suddenly decided after 6 years of a great and prosperous working relationship that they weren't willing to process transactions from a site with 'adult' content such as our own.

We are currently working on an alternative checkout system but it's taking a little bit longer then we'd like. If you'd still like to place an order you can do so via bank transfer or cheque. Please email jo@coffeesh0p.com with what you'd like and which method you'd prefer and I'll get back to you with the relevant details.

Apologies for any inconvenience and huge thanks to those of you persevering with placing orders with us. We will definitely be back up and running properly soon but you guys are keeping us going in the meantime!

Today I'm going to talk about who's involved, what we've got done so far in terms of content and discuss with you another one of many great ideas.

Who's Involved
Firstly, there's me, John (AKA Synchronium). I run the .org project and anything related, like trying to actually code it all. Then, we have Random, our quality control guy from Australia. His job is to take content written by everyone else, see what's missing, standardise it, proof read it (along with my girlfriend, Mrs_Synch) and then we publish it. Next are the casual team of writers we've come across from various corners of the Internet. There are quite a lot to list, so what I'll ask is that all you writers leave a comment under here and tell everyone a little bit about what part of the project you're up to. Our team is in no way complete! That means we need YOU to help us - We always need more writers, and even if you can't write but want to help us, we have a number of things you could do, all of it very interesting. If you feel you could add something to the project, comment here, send me an Email, or post on the Forums. Now for idea #2...

Idea #2: Wordclouds & Tagging - What's a massively important feature in a community? To see what everyone else was up to! You wouldn't join MySpace or Facebook or StumbleUpon if there were no evidence of anyone else using it, so here's what we plan to do: allow people (public, or signed up members, we're not sure yet) to add their own tags to drugs. This could be based on effect, slang names, or whatever - The idea is that the most popular tags for the drug appear bolder and bigger in a word cloud, kind of like the homepage of Torrentz.com. (We don't advocate torrenting, it was merely an example of a wordcloud). We were also thinking of a wordcloud on the front page for the most commonly searched drugs too. It should not only look nice, but also give everyone an idea of what everyone else thinks. Combined with a number of other community related features which I'll be discussing at a later date, Coffeesh0p.org should end up being one massive, drugs related community!

That's all for this week, but stay tuned, because we have a lot to talk about! :)
