Two years ago, we decided to raise the minimum age to 18 to join Star Army as a member. This was for a couple reasons, but mainly because it made the site less complicated to run if we're all adults. In order to avoid kicking out any members who had already joined, we allowed for a two-year...

On behalf of SARP, I would like to recognize @Toshiro for his continued contributions and efforts towards the site. Whether it be starships, cabins, escape pods, armor, or beyond, Toshiro is capable and confident when adding lore and depth to the Star Army Roleplaying universe we write within...

Star Army's forums now support push notifications! So you've probably expereinced this where Star Army tries sending too many emails and our server decides to throw some away resulting in you not recieving a thread reply update email in your inbox like you were expecting. But now there's a new...

Before this month comes to a close, I'd like to highlight a member of the Star Army community who's making a positive impact. Although @Rizzo went on hiatus a couple months back when all that drama was happening (I don't blame him), he's just come back now that things are back to normal and I'm...

You've probably noticed that a lot of websites are making some privacy enhancements lately since the EU's General Data Protection Regulation is taking effect this month. Since Star Army has EU members, Star Army is also going to going to do its best to follow the law and while there's not really...

Roleplay Updates We had a good discussion the other night about basically how our factions tend to work best when they're fighting things, and talked about antagonists like the Mishhuvurthyar and Kuvexians and other "enemy" factions and how they need to have strong, interesting leadership...

Hello Star Army! This month's community meeting is going to be on the night of Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific. For other timezone and time information see the links below: Countdown Timer! Time Zone Conversions Our community meeting will be held in the main Star Army...

I've just received word that the YSS Byakuren has been named as an awardee in the 2015 Simulation Cup! It has won the ward for "Excellence in Readability." This is a great honor for @Fred and the people in his epic roleplaying plot. Thank you so much @Doshii Jun for nominating the Byakuren...

This is a poll to ask whether or not Star Army should re-establish a permanent presence in IRC like we used to have before we moved to the site chatrooms. If we did, we'd use the #StarArmy channel as an accepted fan channel that would have some staff and other trusted members like Kyle as...

Hello Star Army! I've finally found some time this morning to update the Character Template & Wiki Code Generator (a.k.a. the Auto-template) to match the Standard Wiki Biography Page Template. Notable changes: Major visual overhaul so it looks like the wiki. Family/Creators section was...

It's been no secret that we've had a stressful week. The Gartagens have been inactive for some time now, and in the interim they were adopted by Kyle and we'd planned to merge them into the Neshaten faction for cleanup, the way that abandoned/dead factions are often handled. But on the eve of...

I'd like to take a moment to give special admin recognition to @FrostJaeger. He joined a bit less than a year ago and has already become a major player on Star Army and I consider him a regular. The reason you see FrostJaeger everywhere is because he IS everywhere. Frost plays: Inukai Katsumi...

It's been two months since I added the ability to switch themes in response to some users with visual impairments saying the default Ghost Nebula theme was hard for them to read. So I was wondering if this new feature is getting used and what themes people are using on the wiki. Also if you...

A lot of our communication forums hadn't been used in months and months, so I've been pruning them today (the forums only, not their topics). A new Transmissions and Communications forum is on the forum index page in the RP section. It's a general communication forum for everyone to use...

March 4th ("March Forth!") is International Game Masters' Day and the day that legendary D&D creator Gary Gygax passed away. Today we honor all the Game Masters out there who are putting in the effort that helps make the roleplay possible by making NPCs, worldbuilding, plotting adventures, and...

I'm currently working on a the new chat add-on (Chat By Siropu) that is intended to replace the current Shoutbox (TaigaChat). You're welcome to go in there and test it out and give me any feedback you have. One of the many new features is we have have multiple rooms. If you're a GM, you can...

Star Army is now set up to use SSL. Note the little padlock icon next to site's name. This encrypts your traffic between your computer and Star Army's servers, so that people can't swipe your password, or eavesdrop on your smutty RP posts in the 18+ section. Stuff to know: The site should work...

Star Army has a huge wealth of history on the forum. We have posts on here to as far back as 2004. With only a few exceptions, all RPs posts and most other posts have been kept around. But to access that content, we need to be able to find stuff. We've got a search function that works pretty...
