WELCOME BACK!
Hello again all! Welcome back and we're really hoping you do all come back to us! I know the site has been a little on the dead side for a month or so, but we're all back and ready to bring this place roaring back to life!
We have lots of new plans for the place, but first I want to steer you in the direction of the staff changes before I explain the rest:
Jaycie - Don't be fooled by the change of name, it's still Jenna.
@tish - Tish is still with is folks!
Simoriah - Simoriah is official joining the staff ranks!
Stephan - A new face! Give him a huge welcome, guys!
As for the site? Well, I'll make more updates explaining everything in greater detail as things come into action, but the basic need-to-knows are as follows:
~We're resetting the time scale back to 1977 so the Marauders are back in Seventh Year! We're restarting to September of their Seventh year, and any other key canons will automatically be aged back, too!
~There's a new application, and yes, we know it's pretty long, but it's all for a good reason. We'd like all of you to redo your application/s in the new format if you don't mind! We want to see all apps in the same format instead of using about five different one which is how they looked before. o please, everybody redo your apps for us please! We don't want to have to start PM-nagging people for it. You original apps can be found in a board under 'Accepted Apps'. Post your new app in 'Pending' and we'll lock your old app when we move it.
~We're also hoping to get a much vaster range of ages on the site, rather than just older students like we usually see. Because of this, and also changing the year, we're offering everyone a chance to change the age/year of their character. Yes, even if you've been here for ages with a sixth year, if you suddenly want to make them much younger, we'll allow that. Any age you like! We will be bringing in an advancement system, so they won't be stuck as young'uns for long!
With that said, I'd like to consider this thread an Activity Check! We're obviously not going to ask you for links to recent threads or anything - that would be crazy. What we want is just to know what year you want your character to be. Older? Younger? Same age? Unless they're a major canon you can have free reign here.
We're temporarily putting the adult world on hold and concentrating on the school, but that doesn't mean you have to get rid of them! Don't worry! You, again, have the option of changing their age to a student, if you want to, but they can also remain adults. We can try and work out ways to involve any adults with the school, or at least with Hogsmeade and stuff!
So, without further ado, an ACTIVITY CHECK! This being the exam period for most people, I'm going to leave this open for a few weeks. I also don't mind if some of your pop in to save your characters and say you won't be on because of exams. Drop a line in the Absences Board, please! Anyhoo - here we go:
