Update (4-14-09)- Expect to see the subforum cleanup/merges within the next couple of days. The first subfourm that will be tackled is the Chatterbox. Any threads I've seen had activity within the month of April will be moved to the main subforum where they belong. That is also where future chatting will occur. The old subforum will be cleaned out and turned into a Memorable Threads Subforum.


Hello everyone, I have some important info to discuss with everyone. As many of you might already be aware of there has been a recent movement to try and get this place kicking again. Thus I'm going to ask everyone to please read through the next 6 posts in this thread to learn what's going to be occurring these next couple of weeks. There will also be some info on an interesting contest you can enter.

If your wondering why I have started this topic as a standard one and not a sticky or announcement that is because I've noticed a lot of users seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to ignoring and skipping right past announcements ^.~

-Upcoming Subforum Changes-

The first topic I want to discuss is the mini overhaul the AFG will soon be getting. Do to our current low activity rate the mod team has decided to close down both the Roleplay and Chatter Box Subforums. Now before anyone starts to panic this does not mean we will be getting rid of the ability to start new roleplay or chat threads. We are simply moving them back to the main forum will they will hopefully get some much needed action. If you currently have an active roleplay or chat thread, there will be info below on how to ask for those threads to be moved to the main subforum when the cleanup occurs.

In addition to loosing those two subforums we will also be gaining a new Memorable Threads Subforum. This subforum will be a place were old favorite closed threads can be saved. Initially it will be a place where members can save their favorite old rps or chat threads for when the subforums get closed and cleaned up. Although there is no set rules to what threads can be saved, use some common sense when picking threads you would like saved. This isn't for couple page threads or everyday threads but ones that hold a special enough memory that you might like to reread them one day, hence the saving part. =3


Moving Active Threads

If you have an active roleplay or chat thread you would like moved first check the list to make sure it hasn't already been added. If it hasn't than copy the code below, fill out the form and then post it in this thread. One of the mods will then add it to the list. Note, it might take a day or so for your thread to get added to the list, but if you fear it might have been accidentally skipped feel free to quote your original post so it pops back up in the thread. You can post multiple threads in one post, but please fill out a new form for each thread.

-Guild Description Contest-

As some of you might of noticed in one of the Gaia Announcements, the guild system got a nice little fix up with its search feature. In addition to being able to put up key searchwords, they also created room to place a sentence best describing the guild.

Currently, J.Kougar came up with, "Gaia's Oldest Furry Guild," however he thought it would be a good idea to get the whole guild in on the act of creating a catchy description for the guild. Thus I thought it would be a fun to have a contest to drum up suggestions. If your interested in entering make sure to read the rules below.


-Rules-

1) Every member can enter up to 3 descriptions.
2) The description must be no bigger than 140 characters.
3) To enter, copy the submission code below, fill out the form, and post it in the thread.
4) If by chance two people come up with identical phrases, the one who posted it first will be given it as their entry
4) You must submit your entries by 4-3-09

Naturally the prize of this contest will be the fact you'll be involved in a piece of AFG history with your description used and seen by all.

After the submission date, the mods as a whole will pick through and pick the top 5-10 they think best suit the guild. At that point a separate thread will be opened and everyone in the guild will have a chance to vote for their favorite.

This will give everyone a chance to have a say in what they would like to see used. ^.^

-Friendly Reminder-

I just want to take this post to let out a friendly reminder to all that the AFG is suppose to be a fun, mature place for furs to hang out. Part of being mature however means being able to hold your tongue at times and remember the old saying, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

I think some of the tension that has been bubbling lately is the influx of newer users. Thanks to Gaia fixing the guild search feature, we are seeing a large influx of join submissions. This is a good thing however since new users are just what we need to get this place hopping again. =3
