The Beta Test Group

What is this group all about?

This group is set up by passion and run by a mix of Community, Site Support, passion Engineers and QA. This is a new initiative to improve the technical side of the site. The members of this group will be given access to our new features weeks before they go live to the public. Every month, members of this group will be handed a special link which will allow them to access and use a pre-released version of the site. They will be able to file bugs directly to our engineers, and will receive points for discovering new issues.

Who should join this group?

This group is for the top passion users. Top passion users are members who know the site better than we do, are on the site everyday and care deeply about making this site as technically solid as possible. We will probably limit the membership in this group to 200, with a good mix of standard, premium, male, female, groups, TS/TV/TG and couples.

Why are we doing this?

Over here at passion, we all agree that our monthly releases go live with issues that should have been caught. Partly we miss these issues because we don't ask for the feedback of our members. We firmly believe that by working together we can make this site much better.

What should members expect?

It's still developing, we are trying to find out how many people might be interested in this to start. Please join if you think this is something you want to be a part of. Few things we know so far:

* We are shooting to launch this in early June, but only if there is interest so sign up today.

* We'll give members of this group access to our staging site about a week before a release goes live to the public.

* We'd expect members to log in and play around in are pre-release version of the site for 1 week out of every month.

* Not only will you have access to new features, but you can give feedback and log bugs directly to the engineers working on the site.

* You'll earn points for bugs and feedback that you can use towards memberships.
