iOrbix
Hello everyone!
We are happy to announce that we are working on several big changes in our Top Model Contest.
[b]Top Model Winners will be rewarded with REAL MONEY[/b]
We will begin to reward our winners with real money.
I think they deserve this, due to their effort on trying to win, and because Top Model Contestants are very good members and bring lots of friends to iOrbix.
Another good news is, the more friends you invite, the better chances you have of being a winner and winning money!
However, be sure that if you attempt to trick us by making fake accounts, you may be a "winner", but you'll win $0. (-:
The next winner behind you will win the Cash reward in your place.
[b]Top Model Contest will have a new website[/b]
Top Model won't stop being a feature of iOrbix.
However, we feel that the contest deserves to have its own website, where new users may create an account there and participate too.
This means that people who do not want to create an account on a Social Network like iOrbix, may still create an account on Top Model only.
iOrbix users may still vote for those "external" contestants in the same way. The only difference is that they won't have a profile on iOrbix.
Also, at any time those external contestants may activate their account on iOrbix, and become a normal member of iOrbix.
[b]Popularity Chart and Popularity Points on Top Model[/b]
We will have a Popularity Chart, where most popular contestants will appear, if they wish.
This means that contestants may "push" themselves to the top of the Popularity Chart, increasing their chances of being voted and winning.
As the time goes on, those contestants will keep dropping off the chart, as other contestants push themselves upwards too.
However, contestants with more Popularity Points will rank higher than others with fewer points.
To get Popularity Points, you should push yourself everyday, because pushing yourself to top will give you Contest Points (and, consequently, more votes).
So, you should push youself EVERYDAY if you want to get many many points!
We will also give Popularity Points if you vote for contestants of the opposite gender.
[b]Top Model on iOrbix Mobile[/b]
As we have many mobile users, I think that we should include Top Model Content on mobile.
This means that you may vote for contestants, wherever you are!
You may also just check how you are doing on the contest via mobile.
[image=http://pubimages.iorbix.com/storage/1001/Gold-Crown-M.png]
We hope that you love these improvements. We are very confident about the success of the Top Model Contest and how much excitement it will bring to you.
We are eager to hear your opinions,

Hello everyone!
We are excited to release very cool features that are currently under development.
Let me start,

Only public profiles may be followed.

[b]Filter News Feed with Groups[/b]
We are adding new ways of filtering News Feed. Until now, you couldn't choose very well which friends you want to appear there.
When we release this feature, you'll be able to use your Friends Groups to filter the updates appearing on your homepage.
We have a new default group, called "Close Friends", where it will show you updates of the friends that iOrbix thinks are best for you.

Hello!
All of you may have already noticed that we have a new currency: [b]iOrbix Cash[/b].
This is just a way for us to separate what you earned on iOrbix, and what you bought.
[b]iOrbix Coins are earn-able[/b], and you may earn them by:
1) Using iOrbix
2) Completing your Profile
3) Finding random coins in the homepage
4) Submitting a cool Profile Skin to iOrbix Gallery
5) Translating iOrbix into your language
6) Being a valid contestant in Top Model Contest
7) Bringing members to iOrbix
8) ...
You can't buy iOrbix Coins anymore.
[b]iOrbix Cash is buy-able.[/b]
Every account starts with $10 for you to spend it on something.
However, you must have bought iOrbix Cash at least once before you are able to use it.
[b]Users who bought iOrbix Coins before are able to use iOrbix Cash at this moment.[/b]
You can buy Gifts with iOrbix Coins or iOrbix Cash.
We are working on a very cool project that is going to be "unveiled" soon.
This new currency (iOrbix Cash) is our way to make this project to be fair to everyone.
We at iOrbix are very excited to release this project, and we are pretty sure that all of you will LOVE it!
Personally, I'm very confident about this.

Hello everyone!
If you find it very boring to upload photos on iOrbix, because you have to select each single photo manually, then we have improved something for you!
If you use [b]Firefox[/b] or [b]Google Chrome[/b], then you will see a new area in the Upload Photos page.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/19/37/54/lrjhay5YWz519W7j-51-b.jpg]
All you have to do is to select files in your folders, and then drag them and drop in the new area of iOrbix.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/19/37/55/vR0jMvmA4wm164905-b.jpg]
They will automatically start uploading!
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/19/37/56/h9u5KRXsooX-20o-44u-16-b.jpg]
I hope you like this. Please let us know if something doesn't work for you.

Hello!
We have just released a new version of iOrbix, with [b]loads[/b] of improvements.
However, I'll just tell you what is new with the [i]iOrbix Messenger[/i].
[b]1) We no longer allow "Top Model" links to be shared through Chat with a Friend[/b]
Our users complain often that their friends are always "spamming" them with requests to vote on Top Model Contest.
[i]All users on iOrbix have notifications in their homepage of how many contestants are not yet voted! So, you don't need to spam users on iOrbix. You should try invite people that are not yet on iOrbix.[/i]
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/89/31/eIXAbUdgrGd-17r-32X-4-b.jpg]
[b]2) You may now chat with your friends through a new full page view on iOrbix[/b]
If you don't like our Conversation Windows, you may click on the button "Enlarge Chat" and continue writing through that page.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/89/32/4dFzDpMxe2M10e25F-27-b.jpg]
[b]3) Redesigned Messenger menus[/b]
Your preferences are easier to be accessed now, as we have reorganized the options for you!

[b]4) iOrbix Global Chat[/b]
Many of our users told us many times that they would love if iOrbix had a Global Chat.
We have just released that feature, but [b]only invited users may test it[/b].
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/89/35/ZIOOHpD7jOD10j-18O-36-b.jpg]
[b]Invited users may invite their friends to test our Global Chat, and so on![/b]
If you are not invited yet to the iOrbix Global Chat and want to test it, [b]feel free to ask an invitation here[/b]!
We hope you love iOrbix,

Hello everyone!
There are some new updates on the iOrbix Profile Skin Gallery.
[b]=== 1) Profile Skins have Star Ratings ===[/b]
The members of iOrbix are now able to rate your Profile Skins on a scale of 1 to 5 from the Skin Gallery.
This will allow users to have a say as to which Profile Skins should remain in the Gallery.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/71/15/If2vBdsDHxs-2H21211-b.jpg]
[b]=== 2) Sort Profile Skins by Rating ===[/b]
iOrbix members browsing through the Skin Gallery are now able to filter the results of the Skins they see available.
Show All: 1-5 Stars (Default)
High Quality: 4-5 Stars
Top Skins: 5 Stars only
In this way, we are able to accept Skins that are not of very High Quality into the Gallery, but the users can choose what quality range of Skin Designs they want to look for.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/71/14/V2YsKr424d412418Y-52-b.jpg]
[b]=== 3) Sort Profile Skins by Category ===[/b]
As most of the Skin designers probably realized, we have already made categories for the Profile Skins that are being accepted.
There is now the option to Filter results of the Profile Skins by 3 category options:
-Theme-
-Color-
-Style-
In this way, everyone will be able to find the type of Profile Skin they are looking for more easily, as we expect to have 1000's of skins to choose from in the future.
[b]=== 4) Designers are rewarded! ===[/b]
While your Profile Skin is being accepted into the Gallery, the iOrbix Staff Member that is accepting your Skin must choose a rating from 3-5.
[b]You will be rewarded according to what the iOrbix Staff Member rates your Profile Skin:[/b]
- 3 Stars -
(The Skin Quality is Low-Medium or Medium)
Award:
+10 Reputation
+100 Coins
- 4 Stars -
(The Skin Quality is Medium-High or High)
Award:
+25 Reputation
+250 Coins
- 5 Stars -
(The Skin Quality is Very High or Exceptional)
Award:
+50 Reputation
+500 Coins
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, you are awarded increasingly more, for higher quality Skin designs.
We hope that this will encourage Skin Designers to spend a little more time polishing up on the Profile Skins before submitting them.
Everyone, who already had their Profile Skins accepted to the Gallery, was today rewarded appropriately for their work.
Thanks for reading, and thank you also for all your wonderful Profile Skin designs for iOrbix and its members!
Keep up the good work!

Hello everyone,
I am here to talk about [b]Security on the Internet[/b], a big issue that [b]happens very often in all social networking sites[/b].
We on iOrbix are always dilligent about protecting our users, and that is why we are constantly checking new accounts, reported content and user photos.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/63/03/pFoQEgpppXp1p-16o8-b.jpg]
So, have you just met a new person who you are interested in? They seem to be your perfect match, perfect face, perfect personality... Well, now [b]you are in love[/b]!
Every night, you go to your bed dreaming about that virtual companion, wishing that they are together with you...
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/63/04/xgQ92ggD4Lg14-40Q-1-b.jpg]
You've got their mobile number, you've seen them on webcam, you've talked with them.
Then, comes the day that you plan the time and place that you will go on the date with this person.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/63/05/BToRPtiYavi14a-15o1-b.jpg]
But, I have a question for you: [b]DO YOU KNOW WHO IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN?[/b]
You may be pretty confident that your companion exists and is real, but [b]you do NOT know who you will meet on your date[/b]! Trust me here.
You don't know if this was all planned to catch you somewhere alone.
You do not know if someone hates you and used a "virtual companion" to make it easier to beat you.
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/63/06/tKhQRhJ9sqJ2s-16h-30-b.jpg]
It is very easy to create a fake profile and trick someone.
[b]Did you know that over 40% of Facebook Profiles are fake?[/b]
The profile may even be real, but it is still easy to trick you with it!
[b]People may be paid intentionally to seduce you and catch you somewhere when you are "dating".[/b]
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/63/07/flDCwpfyi3f10i-30D-2-b.jpg]
It is [b]very easy[/b] to find and steal some photos in the internet and use them on a Fake Account.
So, just always remember, [b]NEVER TRUST ON STRANGERS YOU MEET IN THE INTERNET[/b]. Danger!
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/18/63/08/Wz2yICfayUf-35y242-2-b.jpg]
[b]Never[/b] give your Home Address or Mobile Phone to anyone on the Internet!
[b]Never[/b] plan a time and place to date with strangers!
Even if you know the person in the real life, their account may have been hacked. You can't really know if you are talking with the person you think it is.
[i]However, if you still plan to meet people online in real life, follow some safe practices:
1) Try to see their parents through webcam before you plan or meet;
2) Go with a friend or parent;
3) Meet in a public place where everyone can see both of you;
4) Make sure you have proper transport to that "date/meeting" and back home;
5) Try to hide yourself until you see the person in the place you planned.[/i]

It is very easy to create a fake profile and trick someone.
[b]Did you know that over 40% of Facebook Profiles are fake?[/b]
The profile may even be real, but it is still easy to trick you with it!
[b]People may be paid intentionally to seduce you and catch you somewhere when you are "dating".[/b]

It is [b]very easy[/b] to find and steal some photos in the internet and use them on a Fake Account.
So, just always remember, [b]NEVER TRUST ON STRANGERS YOU MEET IN THE INTERNET[/b]. Danger!

[b]Never[/b] give your Home Address or Mobile Phone to anyone on the Internet!
[b]Never[/b] plan a time and place to date with strangers!
Even if you know the person in the real life, their account may have been hacked. You can't really know if you are talking with the person you think it is.
[i]However, if you still plan to meet people online in real life, follow some safe practices:
1) Try to see their parents through webcam before you plan or meet;
2) Go with a friend or parent;
3) Meet in a public place where everyone can see both of you;
4) Make sure you have proper transport to that "date/meeting" and back home;
5) Try to hide yourself until you see the person in the place you planned.[/i]

[b]BE CAREFUL! DO NOT DESTROY YOUR LIFE FOREVER![/b]
[i]Nuno Peralta, iOrbix COO[/i]
We're happy to announce a new feature on iOrbix, the Global Wall.
It may be found on your homepage, where you usually see activities from your friends.
[b]The Global Wall will show all updates from your friends and several other global activities that iOrbix thinks that may interest you.[/b]
[image=http://photos1.iorbix.com/00/00/00/00/00/21/87/61/R6jFBV9rO09-16O-27j-47-b.jpg]
[b]So, the advantages of having the Global Wall are:[/b]
- If your friends have low activity, you may find more activity from people you don't know yet.
- If your friends don't care about what you share, other people may like what you are talking about and then comment about it.
- You will meet new people.
- You may learn faster what's happening now.
[b]We are still respecting your privacy![/b]
- Posts from Private Profiles will ONLY appear for friends.
- Posts that are not selected for the Public will ONLY appear for friends.
[b]iOrbix allows you to control the visibility of each post.[/b]
- Before you share a message, you may select between "Public" and "Friends".
- If you want to change the visibility of a shared post, just click where "Public" or "Friends" appear, near the "Like" button, and change it.
[b]We are now allowing you to report a single post.[/b]
If you don't like a post, or if a post is illegal or spam, you may report abuse by clicking on the link "Spam" for that post.
Your report will be reviewed by iOrbix Staff. However, iOrbix will eventually decide if the post should disappear or not from the Public Wall.
Please note that even if your profile is Public, it doesn't guarantee that your posts will appear on Public Wall.
Just try to be interesting and a good member on iOrbix, and you'll see your posts appearing always :)
Thank you very much for reading.
We hope you love iOrbix,
