Guys,
One week and two days ago we launched theory11 with one goal in mind-- one objective: to take things to the next level. To bring the community together. To promote unity. To work together. The goals of this site extend much farther than products, which I think and hope most of you have seen in the past week with our extreme emphasis on community-- by way of the forum and media section-- with more artist interaction than any other forum, bar none. This is not going to stop. The alliance of artists behind theory11 are committed to working with our community-- you guys-- and being a part of it from now until forever.
We know that there's an extremely wide spectrum of members within this site-- from beginners that just started yesterday, all the way to some of you guys that have been kickin' ass and ruining the lives of innocent playing cards around the world for years. With this diversity of members comes great challenges. But I wanted to post here and let you guys know that we're aware of that challenge, and our entire team is committed to fulfilling it. Over the coming weeks, months, and years, you'll notice that we will continue to place great emphasis on the cardistry community within theory11, and on the product front, we've got tons of incredible flourishing releases already in the pipeline. Trilogy will be exclusively at theory11 starting October 15th, and you'll notice some killer 1-on-1 flourishing videos very soon. Some brand new stuff, from beginner to advanced.
The goal is to continue to grow and strengthen this community. For the first time, we've got performers of all styles, types, and ability levels together in one place. Yes, you've got your home within the Cardistry Forum, but we want everyone to be participating everywhere. We want all of our members engaged on the site on all levels. Over the past few months, we've worked with Dan and Dave, Chris Kenner, and Richard extremely closely, making sure that we keep you guys in mind at all times. We know that it's a big change to go from a small, focused community to an integral part of a more diverse site, and we know that it takes a little while to get used to. But our goal is that we all see the strength that comes with that unity. If we're all working together-- if we're all focused on advancing the art-- there's a lot more that can be done. As a small artform, this industry is much more powerful when united, not divided.
Not all of our artists agree on style and genres of magic. Wayne says potato, Dan and Dave say potahto. Seriously, Dan and Dave say "potahto." It's pretty weird. Probably a speech impediment. I digress. But we all do agree on one thing: we need to come together. We need to work together. We need to act as a unified industry to advance the art and improve its reputation and future. Through unity and by working together, we can challenge the ordinary and push the envelope. That's our goal, that's our intention, and that's what we've set in motion. It's exciting and it's energizing-- and we need you guys to be a part of it.
We'll continue to keep the Decknique forums open in the meantime; there's certainly no rush on that. But I wanted to give you guys the rationale and behind-the-scenes thinking behind what we've set out to accomplish. Join us.
