Anyway I think what you suggested is a good idea.
What about possible beta-testers?..
If you mean Beta testing castle basano, trigger island ect, then its waaaay to late. That was going on before the contest ended. Now those mansions are done and done and finalized and no more beta-ing is needed. Vern just has to finish putting the rest of the expansion together and the other judges have to make more mansions.
So, until Vern says
Expansion is coming out in two months on the 23rdfor example, then there's going to be no beta-ing between the expansion and forum members. UNLESS- which is probable- Vern will let a few of the senior members of the MM club to beta the finalized version.

Back to subject. I haven't left the MM club because, for a big reason, Freddy gave me a very awesome warm welcome. I submitted my very first mansion, and with that, after Freddy played it (he's been around for ALONG time) he said
Welcome to the Midnight Mansion Custom Mansion club!and I was like really happy that I was accepted and my work was liked by others. Sorta makes you feel famous for a moment.
Well, like they'd decline me and ban my account or something, we're all too charitable. It is desperately important to cheer on other people's work, say how awesome and why they like it, and give them that feeling like you've done something awesome.
That sorta cheering on makes you build more, continue, experiment and expand your mind getting inspirations everywhere. Eventually, you could win a place in a MM Level Design Contest.

ANYWAYS, do what you want with that top message thing, but don't forget to give all new comers a WARM welcome, and we'll get more members like me.
