Nysics Team Blog

Hey everybody! Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. We at Nysics have been busy with some cool stuff that will come out in 2010.

But I’m not talking about that today. I’m here to announce something very exciting about Nysics Social. We’re going public on January 1st, 2010! That means anybody can sign up for Nysics Social, not just those select few.

But there’s a little problem with that. Going public means that anybody can view your profile. Unless if you don’t care about just ANYBODY viewing your profile, we have a solution for you. Two, actually. You can delete your Nysics Social account, or make it private. Here’s how:

So you want to delete your Nysics Social account. That’s fine, we understand. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Log in – Go to the Nysics Social homepage and click the Sign In button on the right. Enter your email address and password, then click “Sign In”.

Step 2: Go to your account – On the right side of the page, click the “settings” button. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, then click “Leave Nysics Social”.

Step 3: Delete Your Account – Make sure the “Delete my content” box is checked, then click the “Leave” button.

Step 1: Log in – Go to the Nysics Social homepage and click the “Sign In” button on the right. Enter your email address and password, then click “Sign In”.

Step 2: Go to your account – On the right of the page, click the “settings” button. On the next page, click the “Privacy” tab on the left.

Step 3: Make everything private – You should be on the Privacy page. To make your profile private, select “Just My Friends” for all of the options in the “Visibility” section. (Tip: You can also change other privacy settings here.)

Now your profile is private, and you can enjoy Nysics Social the safe way!

Have fun, and Merry Christmas!

Today is Nysics Social’s first birthday!

Wow, it’s already been a year!

For those of you who don’t know what Nysics Social is, I’ll give you a little history.

We found this really cool platform called Ning on the 24th of September 2008, and decided to build a site(or a social network) on it. Now, at the time, we thought that we would just use it to host our media(Pictures, Videos, etc…), but little did we know that we would build a social network where people communicated and had fun with each other. When people started signing up, we re-designed the site to read “Nysics Social” instead of “Nysics Media”, and added a few more features. We also built some other sites(like “Nysics Community – a place where writers could build on each others ideas, and “Nysics Awards” – where we gave out awards to people who participated in games), but nobody really signed up or participated in them, so we took those sites down and quickly forgot about them(at least we TRIED). But Nysics Social survived, and is still being used by our 18 users(We did have a few spam requests). Over time, we moved all of our websites over to Ning, and updated the UIs(User Interface) to match each other.

Now, we hope to have more people sign up in the next coming years, so be sure to tell your friends about Nysics Social.
Well, that’s all for today. I’ve got to go eat some cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday Nysics Social, hope to still have you next year!
