[ANNOUNCEMENT] 1ST YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:57:46 -0400

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S
BEEN A YEAR ALREADY?

WELCOME TO LAYOUT 7.0 PART 1
'AROUND THE CUBE'
Yup, that's right: Part 1. Meaning there's a Part 2. Coming soon ;)
Layout 7.0 is based on 'The Cube'.
But our Part 1 'Around the Cube' is inspired by our 'B2UTYs Around the World' project so we
incorporated it into a layout. This was a collaboration between almighty tea and myself.
Thanks to Nicole for the main design of the header. Cute right? ;D -points to B2R plane-
And our brother-sister forums are linked in the footer where the stamps are. Royal G.Na and
Ultimate Adora are our new brother-sister affiliates!
And please do not forget to thank subtleadieu and kibi for doing the coding!

THE FIRST RISING
Please tune into B2ST RISING Radio as we have on-going shows all day. The schedule can
be viewed HERE and there is a lot lined up! There are random BEAST and B2R-related topics
as well as announcing the winners of Fanfiction of the Year, T-Shirt Design Contest, B2R Idol
and Yoseob Scavenger Hunt Contest.

STAFF CHANGES!
So I realise after a year that the bigger B2ST RISING grows, the harder it is to be an admin
on my own. I've been lacking in B2R-ing lately and I am starting Uni at the end of this month.
Therefore, I have decided to add more pink Barbies to the group and basmspasm and
Lumi will work alongside me as admins too! Baz and Lumi have been here since AJ
RISING days and are wonderful, hard-working people (: Also, let's welcome our new global
mod Nancy. and our new mod candiceyen!

PROJECT SO B365T!
Please join and donate HERE for BEAST's 1st Anniversary Project! We are trying to make it as epic
as possible. You may have heard our unfortunate news, but we now have good news if you've
read the topic HERE. candiceyen and simpleandpink have leant us the majority of
the money that's stuck in the B2R Paypal account so we can get the boys an iPad! Please send
your love to these 2 generous members!

SIGNED BEAST ALBUMS
Head on over to HERE for a chance to win a signed 'Shock of the New Era'
album. B2R and allkpop have teamed up to give away 5 autographed copies!

QUICK STATS
This time last year, we were starting out on IPB, excited to have even 10 members online
at a time. We've had 7 layouts. Our B2STLY Subbers and Translators have brought you 164
subbed videos. Our Translators and BEAST Alerts have posted over 500 translated articles.
We've trended 13 TTs. Doojoon not only follows us on Twitter, but also retweeted our tweet
the other day! Producer Shinsadong Tiger has visited our forum. In 2009, there was a period
of 6 days where we gained 1000 members. We now have 19,346 registered members, with
a total of 272,039 posts!

THANK YOU SO MUCH <3
I'm gonna try do this as brief as possible so as not to bore everyone. But honestly,
thank you to everyone! Thank you to our global mods and mods who work hard to keep
the forum clean and spam-free. Catching spammers and organising topics is more tedious
than you'd think! Thank you to our tech admins who help with the coding; our layouts
would not be possible without them. Thank you to Kat (who was until now our only Project
Manager) for working so so hard on the forum projects. Please welcome our newest
Proj. Manager Rafi who is doing a great job. Thank you to our Translators, B2STLY Subbers
and BEAST Alerts who give up a lot of their time to bring you translated articles, goodies
and videos. Thank you to our Uploaders who constantly find and share new vids! Thank you
to the Graphic Designers for helping make lovely graphics. Thank you to the Radio DJs who
bring you awesome shows and thank you to Wendy who takes a lot of time doing the
coordinating. Thank you to the Donators and Beastly Donators who are very generous in
donating to the forum and for the projects. The projects would not be possible without you guys!
And of course, thank you to the members who support the boys, post on the forum, show
us love, tweet to us etc. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I feel proud to be part of this forum and to have been part of its growth. I know we are not a
perfect forum, but we promise to do our best and work hard to bring you all the latest on
BEAST and to spread the BEAST love. I have met so many awesome members and staffers.
And I hope you guys are as proud to be a B2UTY as I am (:

[INFO] B2ST RISING's 13th Twitter Trending Project

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 05:02:17 -0400

Sadly, we were greeted with the unfortunate news about Yoseob's surgery earlier.
Due to this happening, BEAST's comeback has been known to have been pushed back as well.
So in over to show the B2UTIES' support behind Yoseob and our BEAST boys, we have
spontaneously decided to trend #getwellyoseob and thank you to all of you who have participated,
we were able to even reach as high as 6th place in our trending adventure!
Hopefully Doojoon and Junhyung passed on the love we were flooding the twitter with!
(Wonderful cap credits to simpleandpink)

Cap of 6th Place Worldwide:

Cap of #getwellyoseob in other places:

Even TigerJK helped us to wish Yoseob a quick recovery!

Other than just the international b2uties trending from before, this time, even Korean b2uties joined in the party as well! We had requested for some of them to help and the wonderful Korean b2uties came in an helped us out as well! http://bit.ly/d7Z1XJ

Despite some problems earlier in the way, it looks like our spontaneous twitter trending plan was a success! We would like to thank all of you guys who helped us to tweet! Each and every single from each of your tweets counted toward our success!

[INFO] B2ST RISING's 12th Twitter Trending project

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:00:37 -0400

Hello hello, my fellow B2UTIES! As you may have been alerted through
B2R's Twitter yesterday or even today, we decided to trend 3OOASIS in
honor of BEAST's 300th day since their debut! As we jumped instantly to 9th and
landed on 7th, we've succeeded in another trending project on our list (:

Cap of 9th:

Cap of 7th:

Also, we cannot take full credits for this trending as the idea of 3OOASIS came
from none other than our fellow B2UTIES on Bestiz as they too trended there. In
thanks of the Bestiz residents, we left a small word for their amazing idea! (Bestiz thread)

We've received responses that they would like to work with us on our next trending.
Let's hope for our next successful trending to reach 1st, yeah? B2UTIES HWAITING <3
