Title: CodeWalrus opens its doors to public
Post by: Dream of Omnimaga on January 01, 2015, 02:47:30 PM
Over two months after being founded and 7 weeks after its forum started operating in private mode, CodeWalrus finally opens its doors to public!



It all started early in June 2014, when the idea of creating this new forum came to birth in a discussion between me and pimathbrainiac. On October 24th, it finally started for real, with us two, along with aeTIos, juju and Streetwalrus as founders. Many reasons were behind the starting of this site, first of all bringing more diversity to the TI community, so you might notice that some things operate a bit differently around here sometimes, but we would like to welcome you to CodeWalrus forums, a community for fans of mobile, calculator (mostly TI-84 Plus, TI-Nspire and HP Prime) and computer programming, as well as hardware, retro gaming and art! :)

We encourage you to introduce yourself (http://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=32.0) so that people know more about your hobbies or yourself. :) More features will be unlocked in your forum profile (http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=profile) as you post more messages (such as the ability to setup an avatar, signature or to send private messages (http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=pm)).

If you need help using the forum software, we have an help (http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=help) section available for you. We also have an about (http://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=28.0) page with more information about CodeWalrus itself and you can review the rules at any time here (http://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=36.0). Should you need help on something missing from there or want to give feedback, feel free to post in the site discussion (http://codewalr.us/index.php?board=1.0) board. 

Once you are set, head to the forum index (http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=forum) or the Latest Activity (http://codewalr.us/index.php?page=recent2) section. We also have a few games available for download (http://codewalr.us/index.php?board=17.0), all of which are made by our users, as well as a music store (https://djomnimaga.bandcamp.com/). An IRC chat room called #CodeWalrus is also available, where our members hang out, and can be reached from EFnet, Omninet, Freenode, using an IRC client of your choice or the website client called OmnomIRC.

You are also free to share the website with your friends using the codes at the bottom of each page and don't forget to like us on Facebook (https://twitter.com/codewalr_us) and follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/codewalr_us)!

Thanks, and Princetontion.tibd to be on Wikipedia we need 100 million posts and visits per month. :P Even ticalc.org isn't considered notable enough to be mentionned outside calculator pages.
