Hey guys, its been awhile since the last time there has been any discussion about the status of the board. Most of us know that Casey had been planning for awhile to do a complete revamp of RS since we upgraded to proboards v5, and then vanished for a long time. Her absence isn't something too uncommon but it unfortunately cost us our cbox and nearly killed the board itself. Still we all managed to stick around, we tried to create temporary solutions to our communication problems and tried to get more active to keep this place alive. For that I am thankful, I am thankful that some of you are still here, and am I also grateful for our newest members that have joined us despite how empty we still seem to be. Its great to see that this board is still alive and kicking, but as things are now we can't keep this up forever. It's not an easy thing to admit, and that's why I am making this thread right now.
Here is the details. It's been three weeks since Casey's ultimatium. (for those that may have missed the annoucement click here)There has been no word since that notice if she is coming back for sure, and even mental hasn't shown up and given me any information either. I think its safe to say that Casey is not coming back. Since there is no one else with full access to edit the board none of the remaining staff can do much to keep this board going. Since Mental and I were given permission to step in I am going to take this opportunity instead of waiting for anyone else to help out.
What I plan to do is make a new Reality Shift RP board for those of us that still want to keep this place alive to move to. By making a new board it will be at least easier to maintain and make changes to improve things. It won't be perfect though, I have never made a forum board before so what I will be able to create is going to be limited. Still I think this is worth the shot to do this. I will keep you guys posted on how things are going, at the very least you will know when its up and you can move.
As for how much will change between our current board and the new one I am not sure yet. The setting will definitely be the same, and character creation will still be the same as it's always been. The plot I can leave up to you guys, if you think it would nice to work on something different I will, if not I will leave it as it is. I am open to any ideas that you suggest. If anyone wants to help out let me know, I will PM you the link to the new board and help setup your account so you can help me edit.
If anyone has any questions or concerns feel free to reply to this thread.
