Good morning, Star Army!
I've been making some changes to the layouts of the forums, trying to keep things steamlined.
First, I want to lay out a few key points:
I've been making some changes to the layouts of the forums, trying to keep things steamlined.
First, I want to lay out a few key points:
- Star Army only keeps forums that are active.
- Star Army keeps all old roleplaying posts.
- Star Army doesn't keep separate "archive" forums since a couple years ago.
- Inactive threads aren't archived, they just stay in their faction's forum.
- This resolved the problem of us having empty faction forums and duplicate forums for each faction.
- If a plot's activity dries up, the plot loses its forum and the topics return to the parent faction and live there.
- Their OOC threads usually migrate back to the OOC forum.
- If a faction dries up, the faction loses its forum and the threads end up in Other Factions (and Independent Roleplaying).
- Some OOC faction threads may end up in Setting Discussion if it makes sense.
- Before being moved, all RP posts are all meticulously tagged with thread prefixes so they can be filtered and sorted.
- Example: This link shows the OF&IRP forum filtered to only show UOC threads.
- Use "thread display options" to pick the plot or faction you want to view. Super easy.
- Inactive threads aren't archived, they just stay in their faction's forum.
- The Other Factions & Independent Roleplaying forum is back!
- The means Other Factions and Independent Roleplaying forums were merged.
- The change was brought about by the lack of activity in Other Factions. Basically there was never any RP there because when anyone made a new played faction, they would usually get a new forum for it. So it was only a graveyard of dead factions.
- Dead factions' forums have evaporated; their topics now live in Other Factions and Independent Roleplaying forum.
- The Fringe plot forum was also disbanded for inactivity. @Floodwaters, we miss you terribly but we understand that care for the tiny human that came out of you gets priority over an online roleplay forum.
- Any other RP whose GM did not complete a roleplay review (plot audit) or which has not gotten any posts in over a month will also lose their forum.
- Creativity and Games and Gaming have been moved to the top level.
- Intro forum is now called "Introductions & Players Seeking RP"
- This is where you GM hopefuls should be finding dudes to RP with you!
- You can also use it to say, "hey, anyone running an RP of this type I can join?"
- Chat logs from the shoutbox have been moved to their own subforum.
- This helps keep it from being taken over by robots!
- LSDF Val'ta has graduated from Open RP into having its own subforum.
