I have some questions.
1) Do we want to continue House points for Hogwarts? If so I need a volunteer to take care of it. 2) Do we want to redue Professor Apps, B/G Friend Apps, and Shop Keeper Apps? Or should we discard that all together? If we decide to keep with it, we'll need new apps because of the lack of activity.
Now, I'm looking at all the forums and the threads and it would be a lot of work to delete and make new threads. Do you think we should move the board? It would all be the same, but a different location. If not, then I'm going to need help deleting and making new threads. I've sort of started, and I have new threads saved, but it was a lot of work and took a long time. So please tell me what you think and we'll do what every one wants to do.

Hmmm, well, I do agree that maybe it's time to give the forum a make over. For the colors, I'd suggest soft tones for the backgrounds, and darker colors for the text. For the exact colors, I'm not sure just yet. I keep thinking blue, but that's only because it's one of my fave colors, so ignore me on that. XD
As for the professors, I think that can be solved: if people wanna play one of the Hogwarts professors, they can; as long as they promise to keep them in character as close as possible. If no one signs up to play any of the professors, then they can be NPCed and everyone can help out in playing the character. That way we won't have to worry about the lack of people taking the role of one of the professors.

a possibly stupid question: 1. What are B/G Friends I was a teacher previously and I really liked it a lot, so I don't mind being one again (as long as I can be the defense against dark arts again ). For the vacant positions we could use Himei's suggestion untill somebody fills the spot and we have an official teacher again. That way the classes can continue regularly, even when nobody wants to rp the teacher all the time. However, I think it should be a MUST for everybody who has a 'ruling function' (wheter it is a teacher, shopkeeper, B/G friend or ME kingdom ruler) to be active and keep their tasks up to date. About the deleting of the threads, I'm more thatn willing to help, just tell me where to begin and what to do and I'll help clear up the board. I think that for some threads, like those in middle earth, we can copy the first post in the thread and create a new thread from that. I already have the possibility to delete threads and create new ones, so just tell me where and I'm your deleting man (or better: woman ) Concerning the colors, I also think that blue or green would make nice colours for the board.

My answers:
1: I think we should discard the points system. I know it's more true to the books, but it's extremely hard to keep up with. The only way to keep it going is if the person who awards the points directly updates the score. But if we are NPCing (which is more realistic, unless we have booming activity levels) we should discard it.
2: We should keep open the applications, it's always best to have a real person doing the character. But until a person can be found I agree with Himei, NPCing is best.
I don't mind helping out sorting the board, as long as you don't mind me not being able to pop in every day. So perhaps just give me a couple of boards to sort out (sections of hogwarts or a couple of realms, or something like that).
As for the color scheme: blue and green both appeal to me too, as long as it's not just a plain colour. Fading a colour looks nice, or perhaps fabricate a little pattern on to it. Do we have a person who is good with graphics? Otherwise I have a contact who might want to help us out.

All right-
1) House Points are gone 2) Applications are on 3) You can work any board you like. However I need all the threads you think are important in each board- like the title and the first post describing what it is. I will PM both M & L the password to the very last board on the site- Administrative Talk I think is what I called it. Any way, I have been keeping thread information in there. I have been making a new thread with the board title then having a post with all the threads with their titles and descriptions there. If you could just do that if you can't make the new threads right away and would rather have it saved for later to do when conveniant. You should get the idea when you get in there.
Thanks for your help you guys, and if you want to tell me what kind of image we want for a background I could make one up real quick. Losseflame, if you want you can have your friend make a banner for us. It'd be appreciated.

*Raises hand* If no one minds, I can help with designing the new layout. I've got quite a lot of experience with graphics, and I can add in some codes for gradients. I can post a link to a couple of boards which I've fixed myself if anyone wants so you'd have a sample of what I can do. ^^; As for NPC-ing, non-playable character; though I think in this case it should be called Widely-playeable character (WPC). How this works is you have a character, but instead of one specific person playing it, everyone can control said character.

So you're going to be our graphic designer then, Himei? If it's going to be as good as your artwork, this forum is going to look stunning!!
As for that administrative talk board: I can't see it. I suppose that's got something to do with me not being a moderator?

Hey, just a little message for Nessa: I'm gonna do the Classes threads and Rohan for starters. Shall I post it in the administrators talk first, for check up and feed back from you guys, or just post it immediately? And good luck Himei, with the designing

Thanks you two. I'd love to design the new board skin, if Erugenel doesn't mind. ^^;

I'd like to clear out the Hogwarts houses and perhaps a realm or two, is that ok? If so, could I have the passwords for the houses? As far as the miscellaneous topics go, I think we can just about delete everything, can't we?

Yeah I think so, except for a few, where people posted their own creative outbursts. We'll have to take a look at that, but most of it (like the JD/OB/etc talks) can be deleted I think

OK Himie- post the links to those sites your talking about, I wanna see what you can do. I've been doing graphics for a long time too, so if we ever want to change for a holiday or something we've got plenty of people to do it.
Lossefalme, you should be able to see the board now I think, I changed it from staff to logged in members, but I'll probably end up making you a mod any way.
As for the threads and boards, if you want to post immediatley go right ahead, we don't need to approve anything really unless your not sure about it and would like an opinion. So you guys can get cracking on whatever floats your interest. I've got some stuff I'll hopefuly be posting tomorrow- today was really bussy. I'm not even sure how I found time to get on.
Go ahead and delete the useless old stuff unless you think we aught to keep it.
