Since the decline of the boards, I decided to "restart." ALL boards (and categories) beneath "The Boards of No Return" are DEAD (a.k.a you can no longer post of them, but they remain there for your viewing pleasure.)
I am doing this so we can stop wallowing in the past, hoping for an update. This is also to prevent old threads cluttering new ones. However, an old thread can be continued on the new boards, or if you PM me, I can revive an old thread from the dead section unless I do not see a viable reason for it.
Now onto what's new:
I'll be dividing up the boards into sections again, mainly the general section (currently on), role playing sections, and the OOC sections. OOC sections I take it will be random and stupid (just as they were before) and won't have any real rules. You can choose to be yourself, an avatar or yourself, or any random character you've invented. General is only yourself, and will probably only be discussion based.
I am adding some rules to role play. I don't think most of you really need this, but I noticed a couple things that have killed threads/boards in the past. Therefore, rules include:
1) NO SPAMMING! Please don't come into a role play with no context of what on earth is going just to post some bland stupidity. We all love spontaneity, but if you're just going to post to say something like "What's going on?" and then disappear from the thread, DON'T BOTHER POSTING IN THE FIRST PLACE!
2) Once again on CONTEXT! As you all may know, I'm all for silliness and such, but....how should I put this. Have purpose in you post. If you don't know what's going on in a thread, READ BACK. If previous posters are trying to be serious, don't make your character come in "eating grass" or something. There is a difference between having a carefree silly/stupid character, and just acting like a dork.
3) Try to limit OOC moments in role play. It's fine to leave a note in double parenthesis outside the general message. What I don't want is random OOC posting that is just interrupting a role play.
4) In general, be considerate. No stalking, harassing, etc. It's fine if your character is a total arse, but don't carry it with you everywhere else on the boards.
5) Finally, and quite possibly, most importantly, NO FREAKING GOD CHARACTERS!! *ehem* Thank you.
6) I retain the right to punish you as I see fit if you are doing something inappropriate. It could be anything from a message deletion, suspension, or permanently banning. Yes, I am a dictator. Once upon a time we had a stalker on the boards. I let it go on too long, but that won't be happening this time around.
7) Multiple characters, NOT accounts. Please only register only once. You can make as many characters as you wish, but don't bother making an account for each character. It wastes time and takes up too much space. Just remember to specify which character you are using when roleplaying.
On a final note about role playing, there will be several boards devoted to rp. Some of these categories will be inter-related while others will not. In other words, some boards will have the same/similar characters and plot. There shouldn't be any character swapping without reason, especially if the worlds are significantly different (i.e. swash buckling pirate sent into futuristic NY).
This can only be broken under the "Extras" board, which will contain all what if, alternate universe, or random side-plots that aren't related to the current story type scenarios.
Now that you've read all that, CONGRATS! have a Virtual Cookie! And Welcome to Foxflame.
