It has come to my attention that this place is really unorganized, and could be a lot better than what it is. This was just a test for me, and the test had good results, so now it's time to make this place even better.
I have decided to go with another proboards. It's what I'm familiar with. This time however, there will be a website to go along with it hosted on geocities. The layout will either be a premade or custom made by an old friend of mine, and there will be all the information you'll need on it.
I'm hoping with the Revamp, I'll be able to gain more members, but this is also a really hard hit. I know half the members here now wont be joining us when we move, and I'll have to start over again. But with the new look, I think it may attract more people. Also, I'm thinking about changing the name. Novellus Saeculum was never exactly something I liked, but it was Laton for New Age, and that's what I wanted. I might go for a German name this time, or maybe just something prettier in Latin.
With the Revamp there will be a ton of new skins. I'll have them in categories. Most of them will be premade. I'll keep theo nes I have now as well and just change the titles on the custom banners. The Forum layout will be a little different. The forum itself will no longer have the rules and FAQ, nor the resource and reference anymore. All of that will be on the website. The IC areas will be done differently to save some space. For example, instead of having the Roumeg and Ironfang territories seperate boards, I'll make one called "The Grasslands" or something, and put two sub-boards in for each.
The main focus in the new NS will be on the wolves since obviously the sabres were not very popular. This version I will be urging everyone to get the story moving along. This means that even without some main characters, we will move along. I'll play them if I must. I'll post short posts just so the characters don't end up dead. This will be a VERY hard task for me as I'm extremely busy, but damnit, I'll do it if I have to. I will not let my forum die!
I will be making a new size chart as well, and some of the sizes will be altered slightly as I think some of them are a bit too much. None of this will affect your current characters, nor the mains. It will apply to anyone new who joins and so on. I've found some other places to advertise forums, and I'll be doing so. Recently, for some weird reason, I've gained popularity on SheezyArt and I may use that to my advantage like Kay has. As far as a comic goes for NS, I plan on sripting one someday, but I'll bel ooking for an artist to do it for free. And to find a good artist to do things for free is very hard. I'd ask Vette, but she's busy and has her own schedule, and Luther has her own comic to do although she's been very nice with the character sheets.
This is not going to be an easy task for me at all. I'm under so much stress right now that I doubt any of you could possibly even stay calm. Theres been many times I've wanted to just close this place down and be done with it because it's so hard to keep up when I don't have mods there almost 24/7 like BBA does to keep up when I'm not around. Although you guys do a pretty damn good job, it's still not quite enough.
As for the NS dream, I don't think I'll be able to do it anymore. For one, the dreamweaver doesn't seem to want to do it anymore, and two, I have so much shit to pay for now I cannot afford to spend anymore money freely. I have car payments of 240 a month, insurance is 50 a month, soon I'm getting a cellphone because moms forcing me to and that'll be 30 bucks a month despite me telling her I only want one of those little Gome's. And then I have to save for an apartment. In one year I'll have to save at least 300 bucks. So. Don't whine and complain to me that your little pixels can't froclic around in a visualized version of this place.
When the move happens, you'll have to create all of your accounts over again, and this time I'm going to list the members a bit differently. This time You'll give me your alias, be it one you go by all the time, one I gave you, or one you just made up on the spot. That Alias will be how I and everyone else will identify the character's players. It's confusing to put a main character down as the player of a bunch of other characters, espeically when that main character is never used. Also, you will sign up under an email you actually use. If you don't respond to my activity check emails, I'll be very pissed knowing thats not an email you use. And I don't care who you are, even if it was Jello I'd kick her off until she provided me with an email of useage. (but that would never happen because I know Jellos email and I'd just change it for her.)
This move will require help from all who are active. I'm gonna have to tell all the affiliates I have that we're moving, once again I'll haveto advertise and yadda yadda. Since my internet is slow as fuck, I'll probably need some of you to upload things for me, or get me links to things since it might take me two years just for it to load.
So, theres a heads up. This move isn't going to be immediate. Please remember I'm working my ass off to pay all this stuff and what time I do get on the computer it used up quickly because of how long it takes to load things. So, I'm going to give an estimated date of when the new forum will be ready to move to. And that date is gong to be August 17th since that's the day school starts and I want this done by then.
So. It's 3 in the morning now, I've kinda pissed myself off, so I'm going to bed now just so I can get up tomorrow and work some more. Please keep this move in mind and prepare for it when the time comes.
