Dearest crazy punks,
I have had plans for a board revamp for quite a while, and now that I have some free time, I think the perfect opportunity to carry them out has finally arrived.
Revamp should include:
- New board skins/optional layouts; - New sets of general rules; - Additional rules for specific categories/boards; - New categories/boards; - New moderating system, and more.
Even though some people might not be entirely pleased with the news, especially when it concerns new rules and punishment for their violation, I assure you I'll be doing my best to keep things fair and square so that this place will become a bit more organized and concise, while optimizing our fun at the same time.
I'll be also naming new mods and relocating current ones so they'll be in charge of more than one area, so be warned. Oh, and if everything goes according to what I have in mind, our current hierarchy structure should get a new and improved look, with new titles and everything. This should prove to be quite fun, hopefully. ^^
At any rate, expect the boards to be down for no longer than a couple of days in the near future; I'll be using that time to work on the upgrades and leave the forums prepared for the grand re-opening.
Thanks for your understanding,
~~Ruby.

Ooooh~~ Sounds good! I know even though I;'m a mod myself, I won't be above the rules, I'm just an enforcer of them.

Haha, good thing you're aware of that, Nenji-kun. If anything, moderators should have a couple of extra rules to follow...:3

I know how easy it is to see mgood mods go down from abusing their power. All someone really has to do is xomplain, and show how they have been disobeying the rules or avbusing their power. I've been on some strict forums before with that kind of problem.

Holy crap, yes. Fiction Alley will -not- permit one-liners EVER, and if what you post is not DIRECTLY relevant to the thread, you get a warning. 2 warnings in a certain period and you get booted for a week.

Hmm. I suppose some of the new rules will be rather strict, just not so much as to -never- allow one-liners. Spamming and flooding will be considered serious faults, though, and they will be punished as such, so be prepared. o.o

"I trust Ruby." -snork-
That sloganizer's starting to creep me out.

Might I suggest a spam section. That way, we can still do the things we love, with out penalty. Like, make it so the posts there don't count for the members total posts, or something.

As a matter of fact, that is one of the new boards I have in mind, as I had previously discussed with K-chan. Although, as for the last part of your suggestion, I don't think that will be possible, for I don't know if there's a way to make posts in a specific board not to count for the members total posts.

"Ruby, you'll love it!"
Errm.
Just a question, w00bster: was Gaia any part of your inspiration for any of this planning?
