Hello Equus Fam!
As you probably know, since you're here, we're moving forums. I call this somewhat of a homecoming, as we're moving back to Proboards just like the (g)olden days! The structure is pretty much the same as the last forum, however you'll notice some name changes to the boards. Have a read over the descriptions beneath the names to see what is what.
Forum Design
This forum has some EXTRA COOL features my dudes. I will be working on graphics and expanding the gameplay options we have for the RPG over the coming months. You'll see new threads, new gameplay options, thread labels, and new visuals popping up in different places, so do watch your step. Some of these will be announced in the Bulletin board. A special thank you to Josie for providing our wonderful banner, and to Gemma for helping our forum theme come to life (and function beautifully!). It's possible that as we get more threads we'll see some issues arise with the design, things we didn't anticipate, so please help us out if something is totally broken by sending Gemma a PM with a screenshot.
BBCode
This is the new language on the forum. I know on the previous forum we provided a lot of templates for you, and I do hope to continue this trend in the future. Please, if you know BBCode, help others out by sharing your templates and codes with one another HERE. You can add a tiny credit line to your code templates if you want people to credit you for them (though I'm not going to police theft, guys, so please save the drama for your mama).
Affiliate Banners
You'll see these floating along the screen at the bottom. You can ignore them for now until I figure out what I'm going to use them for.
Don't like the ads?
Don't worry. We'll be hosting a donation drive in the near future to get rid of them!
What about Slack?
You might've noticed the Slack sign-up thread is missing. The truth is that for now I don't see myself moving it over. That's not to say it'll never happen, but for the time being I have other priorities and I'd like to see how we fair without it, for the health of the new forum. I'd like to see our members become more active on the forum rather than in chatrooms, so that we're all making a more global effort to unify the community and ensure we're reducing exclusivity. Please, please respect my decision in this. As I've said it may not be permanent, but for now let's try to focus on getting the community active here. Thank you for understanding!
What about the current forum (at Equus-Sims.com)?
This forum will be up for most of the month of April. I will likely cancel my subscription with the host during the last week to avoid having to pay for another month. Please watch out for more information regarding URL switches. This new forum will eventually be the one accessible through our usual URL (equus-sims.com).
ESRPG
I do apologize in advance, as this forum move was unexpected and kind of a nuisance in some ways, but you will need to re-register your assets for the ESRPG here on the new forum since the former one will be deleted at some point. You'll find enrollment templates available in each board. More on that note: Please just make sure your records are up-to-date regarding XP gained from old events! They still count even though the threads on the other forum will be deleted.
I think that's everything for now. To avoid bogging down the thread with any possible questions, please PM me instead! Thank you!
