announcement #1 ?!
so, i figured we could do this, so that we can annouce the little things that we change on the forum. the updates thread on the sidebar'll be for the big things. =] and yes, i'm just going this to keep myself busy, stfu. D:
but okay! so, as you guys that've stuck around probably see, the skin's changed from the last one -woo-, and hopefully you guys like it, because it took a lot of hard work. D< haha. okay, so other than the skins --
there've been a few changes in coding. so, as you see, the reflective avatars code has been taken out, and we have also taken out the code removing the no avatar limit. but, that does not mean that you cna only have 100x100 icons for you avatar. the limit has been lifted so that you can have images up to 150x200 pixels for your avatar. that's pretty resonable, right? right.
so, us admins'll post here in case we change/add/remove anything from the forum that could publically affect everyone. =] we shope this is also an easy way to figure out what's going on around here. =] so pleas emake usre to keep reading the thread!

announcement #2 ?!
i'm a posting whore, sue me. x] buut, i just realized this, and iw ould really like to clarify this, because i really dont' have to start denying biographies for this.
we have a fairly short app, but that does NOT mean we are a beginner roleplay. we are a fairly advanced roleplay, with many of us posting 1000+ word posts. our site's minimum is, yes, only five hundred, because we feel that this is a fair amount. we do not have to want to raise this because of people think we are a beginner roleplay site and only posting a small amount, just barely getting over that.
it's fairly easy to manage over 500 words for a post. all we ask if that you try to post more than that, and definitely mroe than 'just barely' passing over that. now, back to the app. our app is, yes, short. the only real detail you need is for the personality and history. now, we could prefer that they are typed in first person, but it's not that bad if it's not. what we really ask is that you guys put work into it. just because it's first person does NOT mean you shouldn't be able to describe your character in more than three or four sentences. so far we have been extremely lenient with the applications, but it's slightly annoying when you have little to read and you have to try and figure out how the character is exactly going to be. same with the history; sure, in the app it says family life, but what we on the site are asking is that you talk about the person's family life AND past history in first person. that way we get some ideas on your character.
oh, and not everyone hates their parents, their parents don't care about the child, are abusive to them, are alcohol and drug addicts, etc. we've been getting a lot of apps where the characters' parents are the kind that apparently do not 'give a damn' about their child. how many parents actually are like that now? please make it realistic; we are a realistic, literate site, and we really would like to keep it as such.
honestly, this isn't too much to ask. we'd really hat ehaving to start handing out warnings and such for all these things. we have notes on our advert for you to read, so you shouldn't not know all this already. thanks for reading, you guys. it means a lot that you've joined us, and we really would like you to have a great time here.
oh! and feel free to post in the chat box on the left sidebar! we love to talk; don't feel intimidated =]

announcement #3 ?!
all righty, guys! HSSS has gone through it's first activity check, but we were nice to you guys this time around. if you had not posted in the activity check, but have logged in during the week the activity check went on, we're giving you A WEEK to be able to post something. a thread, plot ideas out with someone, whatever. if you wish to remain, please do it. next time around we're not going to hesitate on deleting you. and sammie won't be doing the deleting, i will be. and i'm not going to show any mercy, because we are sick of seeing people join us then leaving.
second off; our site's first site-wide event, the bristol high midnight pool party, is going to be starting off tomorrow, August 1st. information will be posted in the pool area tonight. feel free to post and have fun; hey, this could be your chance to keep yourself on the site. also, along with the activity check, we're going to have a change of time. the month is now august, and now, i'm going to explain how the changing months is going to work. the months are going to change every two weeks, got it people? so, from tomorrow, it will be october on the site. in two weeks time, meaning on august 15th, it will be november on the site, etc. it's simple, so no one has to worry.
all right. thirdly, we'd love it if you guys got a want ad going on. we're going to be deleting all actual PLOT pages, because those are just time consuming, and it is easier to just have plot ads posted up in the sub boards board, okay? if you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a message or ask in the cbox. also, feel free to talk to us in the cbox; we don't bite at all, we promise. :3
lately, please help us advertise and get the site up. we've done a lot of adveritising as admins but we would love a sitewide effort. we know you guys love new roleplayers as much as the next person. and please, keep this in mind; we are an intermediate-advanced roleplay site. most, if not all of us, post 800-1000+ words. 500 is our minimum, so we are very nice on you guys, please don't make us have to change that? we'd love your help around the site, all right? =] any suggestions, comments, concerns, ideas, feel free to speak up! don't be afraid; we're all loving people here. =]
