Calling ALL SGClubbers to Join Project W!

**maverick1** · 06-05-2009, 12:39 AM

What's Project W?

W represents Wikipedia of course! In case you don't know, SGClub.com is actually not mentioned in Wikipedia yet!!

That's ridiculous right?? How can we allow this injustice to continue??

So, we have decided to launch Project W, with the objective of getting SGClub on Wikipedia.

For this exciting project, we need everyone here to join us and help make this possible. Ok, first, we need to prepare and submit an initial writeup of SGClub. This writeup should contain the following:
- History
- Present
- Objectives & Function
- Demographics
- News
- Controversies

For your info, this is the first time we are attempting this too, and we are not sure if this is going to work. But we never know until we try right? What we need everyone to do is to contribute full & complete, grammatically correct sentences on any of the above facts you may know abt SGC. Just add to this thread and we will have someone consolidating them from time to time.

You can see this page of HWZ on Wiki for an example:

The article MUST be written in an unbiased form, with the sole intention of portraying facts and information for all the world to know about us. So even if you can just contribute 1 or 2 sentences, that is good enough! Will you help support the cause and we can then celebrate as ONE COMMUNITY when we can finally see SGClub on Wiki!! Don't miss the opportunity to make history with us

**Lancelot** · 06-05-2009, 09:17 AM

I would suggest that the article be posted over here for review before it gets submitted to Wikipedia.

**Fusionopolis** · 06-05-2009, 09:20 AM

**Emolisher** · 06-05-2009, 09:57 AM

Although this is not much as i join SGC not long ago, but i hope it help and please pardon my limited vocab

Whenever I suggest SGClub to my friends, I’m always reminded of this old Girl Scout’s saying:

Make new friends.
But keep the old.
One is silver.
The other is gold.

History
SGClub is a Singapore's Online Community started in 2004 by (Please fill in the blank) as a channel to widen their social circle and share views. The website started out small but soon it attracts up to (Please fill in the blank) page views a month. The founders made plans to turn it into one of the Singapore's Largest Online Community and its pretty much achieved.

Present
SGClub is one of the most popular Online Community in Singapore now. They are policed by moderators, who are trusted forum members who have been selected by the site administrators. Members could report objectionable posts to the administrators for removal, or the moderators could remove objectionable posts in sub-forums which they have been given authorities in.
What makes SGClub different from other forums in Singapore is that they have a unique layout which make the webpage user-friendly and well-organize.
SGC$ was introduced to enable members to send gift or to change the effect of their username.
The ranking of this website somehow triggle members to post more so as to achieve their rank shown right below their username. Recently, new function have been added and was well-accepted by the members.
Spree-organizer must also register themselves to the administrators so as to ensure those that joined their spree.

Objectives & Function
The main objective of SGClub is to create a family type of Online Community. No matter it is from your relationship down to your homework matter, members could find the solution to their question there. There is this few sub-forum which i think it is worth to mention here:

SGClub Outing Section - Members could organize an outing here to get to know each other better and some of them even became lovers after the outing.

Local Event Section - This is the place where members could get information of when is the next IT show held at? Which marathon race are commencing?

Making a Difference Section - This newly added section makes SGClub a heartwarming forum where members share their views on global warming, how to help our mother earth and to be contented of what we have now.

Local & Foreign Affairs Section - Members could get the latest update of both local & foreign news here posted by their very own member.

Complaints Zone Section - This is the place where members rant their anger and at the same time, news reporter will lurk around in hope of an valuable articles for their write up.

Some of the function unlike other forum are interesting like the reputation bar which shows how reputated a certain member are. Nominated post where member could nominate others who posted informative thread. Their very own blogpage where members could update whats going on recently.

Demographics
SGClubs have member as young as primary school all the way to a mother of 2. Many of them are very active in the forum even after dark.

News
SGClub was mentioned here as somehow a controversial comment is made and thus the spokesman for SGClub step up to defend the members & forum. Another comment was made too in our very own Shin Min Daily Newspaper. Although no names of which forum was mention, but members was pretty sure it is SGClub as some of the username were mentioned. More information could be found here

Controversies
The success of SGClub has also come with a fair share of controversy. During the early days, hackers was commonly seen in the forum, founders of SGClub had to think of ways to counter them by banning their IP and resume SGClub as soon as possible. Members was also warned to be responsible of any statment made by them that causes legal action against them.

Lastly i will like to leave a statment for future user about surfing in SGClub:

It is often said that a part of us will linger in any place we go or stay.
What was left unspoken was that members will always carry a bit of SGC with them.

While their stay may have ended, it appears that their memories may continue forever.
