Alright, I think we're way overdue for a staff update for the forum. I think it's fair to let the other members see what modifications or new features the staff has decided for the site!
Packs!
[/blockquote]
- Well let's start with the new BETA COMPETITION for the Nigori Marshlands! There have been alot of members creating wolves for the pack of Nigori who have wanted the Beta/Betess position, but none have taken the initiative to roleplay it out. So the pack's alpha, Ker, is holding auditions for the position HERE! If your wolf of Nigori is lookin' for a position of authority in the pack, get your tails in gear and audition!
- Please give a congratulatory tail-wag to Toko’s new alphess, Vanya! Unfortunately the previous alpha, Tyrome has grown inactive and thus lost her alpha position.
Rules!
[/blockquote]
- The staff has also taken note of members "claiming posts", and we've implemented the following guidelines in The Rules
You (as a roleplayer) are allowed to 'claim posts'. What does this mean? If you see a roleplay post that you just have to reply to with your character, you are allowed to post a message similar to::
'I CLAIM THIS NEXT POST!'
But if you claim a post, you must post within the following hour! If you do not post within an hour of your 'post claim', any other roleplayer is free to jump in before you.- Also, in The Rules thread, the staff has posted a new rule regarding signature images.
If you'd like to see an example of the size limit, please refer to The RulesSignatures must be no larger than 500 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. This includes multiple images.
Site!
- We've decided to change 'Of The Month' into simply 'Spotlight!'. This will help us to keep up with ourselves, and allow the members who win a Spotlight! position to get the recognition that they deserve. Spotlight!'s will be changed approximately every season. And very soon the new Spotlight! nominees will be chosen, so keep your eyes open!
- Please, put yer’ paws together to welcome our new staff member – ECHO!!! She’s applied for the position of Site Updater, and all the votes on the staff were one-sided! (her side, of course) Congrats, Echo!
- And let’s give another round of appaws to our lovely skin coder, Kerrigan! She’s neatened up the main table at the top of the site, as well as straightened out all our affiliates on the bottom! Who-hoo!
- Since the character guidelines (especially the bans and word counts) have been seeming to be ignored, we’ve created our own little form for members to fill out when creating new characters. Hopefully this will make the process simpler, and help members to follow The Submission Rules more accurately. If you haven’t gotten the chance to see it yet, try it out HERE!
Characters!
- And last, but certainly not least, the lovely admins of our site have created a form that members will use to request the birth of their litters! If your character is preggo, you’ll use this form to request what you want the pups to look like and what powers they might have. Take in mind that what you request is not guaranteed, as the staff takes many different aspects of the mother/father and even the weather into mind. Haven’t seen it yet? Check it out HERE!
