You may think that Alchemy Moon has gone a little quiet since the launch. This is an attempt not to fill this forum up with product hyping. We think it would be a good idea if this forum got back to doing what it *should* do, and discuss matters that are of interest to our art. At the same time, we know that the community here like to hear the latest news of what the dealers are putting out. So we will be putting out announcements, but we have no intention of hyping them, or of clogging the board up with relentless bumping of our threads. Commercial suicide perhaps, but we do this for solid reasons and for the integrity of our art.
To make this work, we have a new strategy. So this is an announcement about that strategy. From now on in, we will be working in this way. The first stop for all announcements will be our newsletter. All news on the latest products will go in here first, along with news of any other Alchemy Moon initiatives. We intend to reward our 'family' who have signed up in several ways. First of all, this will give you access to the UNDERGROUND. http://www.alchemymoon.com/gate.html The Underground is already buzzing - those of you who are there will understand what I mean, without me having to say any more. Being a member of the UNDERGROUND gives you access to the FaceBook group. On this group, we will be giving more information about new products and selling them (often at a small discount) *before* they are announced anywhere else. This will become important, as not only do you get to see the new products first, but you get the opportunity to purchase them before they are announced. This is particularity relevant on small run items, or Elite items - as this may well be the only method of getting your hands on them. So, to be in the know, the first stage is to be on the mailing list, you will then be given the key to the UNDERGROUND and the facebook group. The next newsletter is going out today. We have more news of this there, as well as four rather interesting new products that we are more than a little excited about. To get on the list and to get the KEY, all you need to do is send me your email via pm here, or on the Moon (the latter I check daily). Finally, we will make announcements on the main forums. So we *will* be announcing our new products here in a week or so, for those that are not *in* the network. This is not to show disrespect to these forums or to those taking part in them - quite the opposite. We think a dealer making a simple announcement and then backing out from the hyping best serves the true function of a forum and allows for serious discussion to mature. Regardless of the forum, or the dealer, or the participant. Surely what we want is the progression of our art, and this is done through discussion and the sharing of ideas, it is not achieved through product hyping. So we adopt this strategy through respect for what this forum should stand for and through respect of its members. Sure, we *really* appreciate *honest* reviews, these give us valuable feedback and give useful information for participants here to make an *informed* purchase. If you support our policy, you will support us in this too. However, we see no point in pointless comments that merely serve to bump a thread. This gives nothing to the community here. We have a good track record for not hyping, of having all comments coming from people who actually exist and have not been 'persuaded' to make that comment. Therefore, *all* of our posts and reviews are genuine and give solid information. This is something we are proud of, and something we know you appreciate too. However, the MOON has always been more than a shop - it is a community and people in that community are treated as friends or family. Not only in the way we treat you as customers, but also in helping seed new ideas, support creativity and attempt to take the art forward. Those on the UNDERGROUND know what I mean and will back up this statement. We feel stasis, and are attempting to do something about it. There is a new magic developing and some fine minds are behind its development, the UNDERGROUND will be our crucible. More will be revealed on this as the work is completed. We think this is a good policy, and one that contributes to the integrity of our art. I would be more than a little interested to hear your views on this too. ..... ... .. .
The Moon is now to be found in the constellation of Gemini:

As a result I will have received shortly a couple of great objects to add to and enhance my routine/performance set as soon as I receive it. Very happy that I am on the newsletter list!
