BLOG POSTS & FORUM DISCUSSIONS

Blogs are used for stories, dairies (musings), informative articles etc. In Character (IC) journals are most appropriate as are articles related to our historical timeframe.  Please categorize your blog post to help people find them.

Forums are used for everything else; they often invite discussion and are categorized to make it easier to find specific subjects in the wealth of communication. 

When in doubt, use the Forums and for the sake of better communication please don't use both if you can't decide.

Posting long excerpts of written material that is copied from other people's books and articles is not allowed.  Please post a brief "teaser" text and/or image with a link to the source material.

Advertising is not permitted in either blog posts or forum discussions.

Site News: PREPARING for the Move

Site News & Guidelines

Hello Everyone

It's time for every member to start preparing for our site move!

In addition to cleaning up  there are a few other things you might want to do. While the majority of the site content will be transferred over there are a few things that will be left behind.

They include:

• Private Messages
• Friend Lists
• Profile Information (the text you've written about yourself)
• Gifts

If you have something important in your Private Messages you should save a local copy.

You may want to record your list of friends to make it easier to "follow" them on the new site. OTOH you may just want to start out fresh

If you spent ages coming up with a pithy profile save a copy so you can transfer it over. I think I'll take a few screenshots of mine just for old-times sake.

Perhaps you'd also like to take a screenshot of your Gifts as well.

Any questions? Just give me a shout! Thanks!!

Tat

Site News: HELP NEEDED with Site Cleanup!

Site News & Guidelines

You're very welcome, Leena

I'm really excited about this move. We've been in a bit of a holding pattern with Ning 2.0 but soon we'll be able to expand our horizons!

Good luck with the cleanup.

Jamroom is ultra flexible where site design is concerned so all the sites produced can vary wildly by individual taste.

Take a look at the Jamroom Demos to see some of the variations.

I'm going to start with a site that looks a lot like this one and then go from there. For one thing it will get us ported over sooner, for another it will be more familiar to current members and help alleviate any shock from the move.

Site News: HELP NEEDED with Site Cleanup!

Site News & Guidelines

I've deleted all the members that haven't logged in since 2011. I figured it was a pretty safe call that they wouldn't mind but I send my apologies to any long-time lurkers that still wanted an account. You can always create a new one on the new site. When I get more time I'll be reviewing 2012 next.

I've also deleted some old groups which appeared to be abandoned i.e. no action on them for years.

On the creative side, I've installed the skeleton for our new site and will be working to customize it (plus learning all the ropes of a new system - good times!!)

If all goes smoothly I'd like to make the move with the next month so please concentrate on your own cleanup efforts.

How's it going? Made any progress?
