CTG Music Newsletter 2nd February 2004 Welcome to the February edition of CTG Music Newsletter! We spent the last few weeks to develop the site, as we promised. And now, we are very happy to present you the biggest CTG update so far. We have opened a whole new section called Community, which you can find in the menu instead of samples(on hold). What can you find in the Community area? Interviews, Articles, Tutorials, Newsletters, CTG Mixes, Artist Diaries and Birthdays plus a Fully working Chat. The whole Community area will relay a lot on you of course, and we expect you to contribute as much as possible. You can submit your own interviews, articles, tutorials using our Submit page. You can also write your own Diary directly on your artist page. We hope you will find our new Chat fun and easy to use and that the Chat will become crowded. Well, do you think we developed even further? Of course we did. From now on the posting on the forum will be limited to CTG members only. This means if you want to open a topic or post a reply you have to be logged in. Also the Forum Search improved, so now searching is more advanced, you can also search in topic titles and directly in replies. And the last little addition is the page called My Topics, which will be visible only if you are logged in and there you can see all the topics which you started. MadTracker Compo 2004 kicks off!
