Here at tiaradiadem, we've been working hard behind the scenes to bring a new and exciting feature to our forums! We are proud to present:

Awards are little achievement badges for interacting with tiaradiadem! They will display underneath your avatar when you post, and also in your profile under the "Awards" tab on the left hand side.

We've decided to implement them to make the experience here more rounded and exciting. Because this is a T-ara fansite we've tailored the awards to our interests: T-ara! 

So you can choose what you'd like to have and our team will provide you with those awards - Here's our awards listing!

Currently we only have a limited number of these awards, but more will certainly be added over time. Album badges and fansign badges are currently not available but will be in future, subject to our decision. Donation awards for projects that have been participated in will be added and you can obtain these with proof of your donations. 

To get your awards you will need to post in this thread with the awards you want for the amount you've earned (according to the rules below). The team will be closely monitoring what you are eligible for so that nothing is unfair and we have the correct amount of badges for everyone! Every question regarding the awards and every request should be posted in this thread. 

Here is the list of rules we have assigned to the awards. We do reserve the right to remove and add awards and rules at any time, though they aren't likely to change very often. We also reserve the right to remove any custom awards you've earned if you get banned or if a mod deems that to be an acceptable punishment.

Album Awards: You can get the album awards that you have proof of purchase of (a photo with your username written on a piece of paper next to the CD should be fine.)

Fanmeet/Concert Awards: Proof of attendance will get you the choice of a "signature" badge. (More badges for concerts may be added soon!)

Any other awards/awarding systems could be added within the next couple of months so keep an eye here.

Miscellaneous Questions

- You may tell us which badges you want to show if you have more than 6 badges.

- If you have 6 or less badges, they will automatically display and we cannot hide them. 

- Yes we can put them in an order. If you want them in a specific order, you need to tell us! (Otherwise we'll just put them in any which way) example:

Badge Order: Hyomin - Soyeon

                        Jiyeon - Qri

                        Eunjung - Boram

Badge Order:  MinKyul - EunMin

                        Wang  

- You only need to tell us the order of the displayed 6 (or less) badges. 

- They will automatically arrange in a certain formation and we can't do anything about that. 

Alright, that's everything. Any more questions and you are welcome to ask me!

We have a new special badge for Valentine's Day!

I don't know if any of you saw it in the thread so I'm posting out here!

Post anywhere in the forum and then you can come and link the post here to get your free Valentine's badge.

Only for a little while longer though so keep that in mind. 

I hope you all have a beautiful day and keep love in your hearts!

Greetings Queen's!

Are you going to be in or around Los Angeles on the weekend of September 7th? Are you looking to check out a free concert that is a blend of traditional and modern Korean culture? Then come check out Fanta-stick!

From their website:

One of Korea’s most popular performances since its premiere in 2009, FANTA-STICK, fuses traditional Korean music with mainstream pop and rock to deliver a heart-pounding spectacle. The Korean myth of “Jamyeonggo” - a touching love story reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet – is brought to life with powerful rhythms and poignant melodies. Break-dancing, fusion percussion, classical Korean string music, acrobatics and martial arts make this a fantastically visual performance.

Fanta-stick will be held at the Ford Amphiteater in Hollywood on Sept. 7th @ 8PM. For more details, check out their event page: http://fordtheatres.org/en/events/details/id/577

Interested in going? Diadem in conjunction with the Korea Tourism Organization has secured 10 tickets for our members to go watch Fanta-stick! All you need to do is reply to this thread with your name and number of guests. You will need to pick your tickets up at Will Call by 7:30PM.

Parking at the venue is only $5. I'll be taking names until Tuesday, Sept. 3rd. If you do get tickets, please try to make the event. The Korea Tourism Organization will be present and are looking forward to seeing Diadem there.

I'll be going so I hope to see some of you there! Thanks.

As you all might have heard, KCON is less than a week away (August 24th-August 25th) at the LA Memorial Sports Arena!

Although T-ara won't be present at the concert, Diadem will be participating in one of the panels! Our Administrator, Mark, will be speaking on behalf of Diadem in the 'How to Build A Successful Fandom from the Ground Up' Panel on Sunday, August 25th at 1:30PM-2:30PM.

If you guys are hitting KCON during that weekend, you should drop by the Panel and maybe even say 'Hi' and hang out, as a bunch of our Staff Members will also be present at the event (myself included–/shamelesspromotion/)!

Additionally, we just opened up our Instagram account @diademforums! If you have Instagram, you should follow us; and if you don't, you should make an account N.O.W. to follow the T-ara Girls, too! We'll be posting updates on the Girls, the Forum and also other fun things like games and giveaways for our followers there; so don't miss out! ^^

If JNDrama's fan account was to be compared to two other fan accounts [1] [2], you will see that JNDrama's is more vague and contained unnecessary content that further fuel assumptions and speculations about what really happened.

We deleted the fan account not to shield or censor the truth from the Fans, but because it lacked concrete information about what truly happened last night in Las Vegas. It does not contain enough information for FANS like us to understand what really happened but, has more than the substantial amount of details (due to the overall tone and exaggeration in his post) for ANTIS and Korean MEDIA to pick it up to publish articles that can fuel more hate and ridicule to T-ara.

Two of our other members who were also at the event have put up more comprehensive, and overall, better fan accounts. It's helped us understand the situation further and has eased some of our worries from JNDrama's exaggerated fan account. However, although those two great and accurate fan accounts exist for people to see "the truth", Antis and the Korean media will surely pick up the more negative article to stir controversy. That was what happened during the previous scandal involving the GIrls, and that is exactly what will happen to this one as far as Media is concerned.

I, on behalf of the staff of Diadem, would just like to put it out there that we did not remove the fan account so that fans would be oblivious to the events last night. Our only concern lies within the fact that, living in the age of Internet and social networking, regardless of where things are posted (may it be Diadem or Twitter), content like that will spread and is the exact kind that feeds bad publicity and that is NOT beneficial to T-ara.

Having said that, we are also aware that this issue has reached Korean media and is now causing a stir on their side.

At this point, we hope that by now, you all understand why we strived to remove that from our site.

We previously had an unintegrated video section via DailyMotion that made all our videos available for free but it was difficult to access. Videos were not in order, hard to find. We decided we wanted to change that! It is designed for ease of use and I hope you like it! This section will be kept up-to-date as we roll out each project release.

Please thank all our Uploaders, as well as , for splitting and uploading all our videos.

You can access the video section via the Videos link on the header.

Thank you for supporting us until now! Please continue to support T-ara and our forum!

I'm not posting this to continue and rage about what the article said, but instead, I'm posting this in an attempt to calm everyone down.

We're just as upset and appalled about what the article had implied about T-ara's future; and as a community of T-ara fans, each and everyone of us would like to step up and do something to protect our Girls. However, all the news that came out up until now are merely possibilities. As such, we can't assume any absolute outcomes, jump to conclusions and act solely out of anger. All we can do at this point, is to hope and pray for the best and think positively that things will look up by the time April comes around.

Core Contents Media is aware of T-ara's achievements and of the amount of fans that love and support each and every member. Everything right now is still being discussed and we, as fans, are not in any position to do things to try and influence their decisions. Moreover, we don't know enough details to even go into doing anything elaborate.

Through the almost-three-years we've been supporting T-ara, we've all been through a lot of hardships; just in terms of members leaving, leader-switching, to member additions, etc. but we've always stuck together and grew stronger because of it.

This situation is just as bad for T-ara as it is for us. The last thing we'd want to show them is their fanbase are in a chaotic state. Dealing with their company issues is already incredibly stressful and to see their fans act recklessly without any basis would be another thing for T-ara and CCM to worry about. With that said, the best thing that we could do for now is to continue loving and supporting the girls as passionately as we have been since the beginning and hope that CCM will not do anything drastic to hurt or ruin our girls.

We'll get through this, Queens. 힘냅시다!

Diadem is sad to say that we'll be putting a temporary stop to our Translations forum section as well as our @diademtweets Twitter account.

The translator who ran @diademtweets' Twitter account is no longer able to/interested to after the announcement of the member changes and thus stepped down. We also won't be updating the Translations section of the forum because of this.

We'll be looking for a new translator(s) in the upcoming months, but for now the account will be on a temporary hiatus (If you're interested in becoming a Korean translator, you can sign up here).

Thanks for supporting the account over the past nine months! We hope to bring the account back in a few months! ^^

Aside from the big visual on the header that we have there (if you refresh you'll get yourself a random T-ara member), there are lots of cool things that this layout has to offer! But I'm not going to go into detail about each of that because you'll definitely notice them once you see them. Also, we're going to be updating this layout soon to add more functionality and to improve it overall as this is only our layout's initial release.

During the time that we were offline, we did some minor cleaning up as well as archiving of old topics. Our staff will continue to clean up after we go back online so please anticipate a cleaner and more organized Diadem soon.

We have also started the official thread for Soyeon's birthday project this year. As you might've read in the mass PM sent out last week, this project is a first and very important for us! Our deadlines are really tight though, so if you want to help out and participate by donating or sending a message for Soyeon, please go to the thread when you can ^^

In celebration of our new layout, we have a few things that we have for our members!

If you've ever wanted to join Diadem's dedicated team of staff, during the coming week, we will be opening up lots and lots of positions and chances for our members to join our team! If you're interested in helping promote T-ara overseas, you can direct yourself to our Staff Applications forum to look for a position that fits you!

Finally, our staff has also prepared some giveaway events for our lovely members! As one of of our giveaway events, reply to this thread with your thoughts about our new layout upgrade and you can have a chance in winning a copy of 'Day by Day'! A random reply on this thread will be chosen via random.org. You have until September 9th to enter our giveaway events. There are other chances for you to win T-ara albums and posters! Check them out here!

For the time being, we hope that everyone wasn't bored during the time we were offline. We hope that you will enjoy this layout and that it will help in making your Diadem experience better. Our staff will continue to work hard to bring you the best of our Girls! Please continue to support and anticipate the things we have in-store for everyone and please continue to support T-ara!

Fighting!

P.S... Our video section is back!

As you guys may have already heard/read, the supposed San Francisco concert featuring T-ara, Davichi, and Yangpa have been officially cancelled. Ticketmaster have finally sent out emails to fans that purchased tickets and have notified them of the cancellation and are refunding already. It sucks for all of us that were anticipating T-ara's first American performance and considering the preparations we had (our concert promotions and concert bundle project), we're probably more frustrated than all of you that this hasn't faired well.

For the past two months, we've been trying to contact the concert organizers for various things to no avail and he made no statement regarding the previous postponement or the recent cancellation.

Regarding the concert bundles we purchased, unfortunately we aren't able to give out any refunds. These were not priced for profit and we'd be in a HUGE financial hole if we did.However, for everyone that initially ordered these for pick-up, we can have them shipped out to you. We'll take the burden of the shipping costs. If you are willing to chip in for your bundle shipping, you can send $3/bundle to elly@tiaradiadem.com, but it's not mandatory.

If you have ordered a bundle for pick-up, please PM me with your address and we will ship all the packages out as soon as we're able.

Hey all...

When we said we were still working on the layout, we weren't kidding. When we released Perspicuity, Diadem became Mobile Phone-friendly. But there was still something missing!

For all you avid iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Smartphone users, here it is: Diadem Forums is now available in Touch Format!

When you load Diadem on your iPod/iPhone/Smartphones, if it isn't set at default yet, make sure you select Diadem Touch on your skin selectors to experience Diadem's Touch Site.

But wait, there's more!

For all the Diadem Shoutbox geeks, the Shoutbox is also available and fully functional on the Touch Version of the site, so go nuts!

Feedback is always good. So if you have any comments, concerns, suggestions, etc. feel free to reply here!

We hope you like it, guys

Unlike previously, we won't be doing it on our main Twitter account but instead a separate Twitter account. Please follow @diademtweets to catch all the translated tweets! That account is only being maintained by one person, maknaes., one of our translators and it has just about all the tweets T-ara has sent since back in May on there. She has worked really hard so far to translate and catch up on already 3+ months of tweets so please say thanks to her~ ^^

The account will be mostly containing T-ara's normal/regular tweets and conversations they have with each other through mentions on Twitter. And since again, that account is only being maintained by one person, please be patient if the translations aren't posted right as soon as T-ara tweets.

So yeah, please follow @diademtweets on Twitter to get updated on T-ara's tweets! But still the translations are available to everyone, even if you don't have a Twitter account ~

If you have any questions about the account, please ask them here in this thread!
