Tsunade:

Rule Changes for July 21, 2007

Two new rules have been added, dears.

The first one has been numbered 11, thus shifting the previous 11 to 12 and so on. The second was added at the end, which means it took the number 15.

First rule refers to maintaining a certain post order in your RP threads. This is important because... seriously, it's really not nice to log in and see that a thread you were in has progressed without you. So we won't let it happen to anyone. ^_^

Second rule refers to the newly introduced NPC system. It should help make the board more lively and avoid confusions. Having all the characters that don't have separate accounts together in one place will really reduce cluttering.

Enjoy! And let us know if these rules cause any discomfort. We didn't mean that, we'd just like to keep it simple and fun, organized for everyone.

Rule Changes for August 11, 2007

I've updated the NPC system rule.

Serious changes have been made to the OC registration process and forms.

Rule Changes for August 27, 2007

I've eliminated the part about the moderator duties. I realized there would be too many people to keep track of, and it was still rather silly to make them mod over tiny pieces of the forum.

And other things. Let's just leave it at: I thought I should make things simpler.

So the only mods are now the Kage (the NPC account where there isn't one).

Also, new rule added! Rule number 16. Read it!

Rule Changes for August 28, 2007

Two new rules have been added, as numbers 17 and 18. Reading them is required.

If not, you'll break them and get warnings. =D

Honestly not a pleasure for anyone, so please. Shoo. Go that way.

Rule Changes for September 09, 2007

A new thread was added in the Rules section! Pay close attention to it, because it is IMPORTANT.

It is titled "Thread Making and Joining Rules".

Go read!

Rule Changes for February 28, 2008

Okay, guys, this is sort of important. It's an attempt to make things more pleasant and simple for everyone.

I'm giving up on the whole 'post-at-the-gates' thing. I realize it's annoying. You still can't leave or randomly enter a village or restricted area without a serious reason. However, if you have one such reason, like for example a mission, just start your threads wherever you have business.

Ame no Kuni is still an exception. To see how that works now, you're strongly encouraged to read the post on 'Traveling' in this board: . I modified it a few minutes ago.

That's pretty much it for now. Enjoy!

Rule Changes for August 17, 2008

The following rule is no longer in effect.

10. VERY IMPORTANT! Once you've been authorized to RP, you are not allowed to be present in more than one thread at a time. I'm sorry, but this is to avoid confusion. Your character can't normally be in two places at the same time, hmm? So, as soon as one plot ends, you may continue it in a new thread, join another or start a new one. But only ONE ACTIVE PLOT AT A TIME. [This is an exception to those characters who will be needed to give out missions to others. Such as Tsunade and Gaara. You may be in more than one thread like that at a time, so as to avoid holding players off for long. And also, you may be in a regular RP thread at the same time as that.]

As you can see, it has been completely replaced in the Forum Rules post. As for reasoning, this was because...

Well, when this forum started, the majority of the people on it preferred having a one-thread rule. Which is why it was in effect. But since some of those people have left, and more new people have arrived since then, things had changed. So, because there were a lot of comments about it, I've managed to talk Kyle (Jiraiya) into dropping this rule. Ino was perfectly fine with it, too.

On short, it was getting on people's nerves, so it was removed. And I trust more in the people who still liked this rule not to complain.

One more thing. As the new rule states, do not use this as an excuse to leave your unfinished threads hanging forever. If it seems to me that you people have forgotten about a thread, I'll move it. What does it mean to forget about a thread? It means you're posting in other places, but not there, although it's your turn. Which will trigger a move of said inactive thread into the Archive board, that only the staff can see. ^^

Well then. Enjoy?
