Hello WoT RP members, and members-to-be,

It is my pleasure to announce that our message boards are now fully functional, and all exist! I was waiting off on creating the rest of the boards due to some debugging issues, which have now been fixed. So, everything should be fully operational and just waiting for you to post on them! A huge, huge, huge shout out to my partner Luke who has been working on them this whole time. He’s truly worked some magic.

It’s pretty exciting getting the site going again. Things have been buzzing with join forms, writer pages, and of course the boards. Here are a few highlights:

• The string announcing the new Amyrlin Seat, Keeper of the Chronicles, and Mistress of Novices is almost done! Be sure to check it out on the White Tower Board, because it has a lot of back history for where the site is ‘re’starting from.
• Keep your eyes on the How to Use Our Boards page for some tips and tricks and essential know-hows.
• Add yourself to our Google Map of writers!

Last but not least, the Officers have discussed our policy on returning old characters, with a few notes. We’re only accepting characters back who were active and listed at the old site at the time of its closing. If you stopped writing with your character before the site closed, sorry, you’ll have to start afresh! Remember too that you can start a new character at the old rank you had (as in, if you had an Accepted you don’t have to start with a novice again unless you want to). Making a new character is totally the way to go, though, because then you don’t run into any weird storyline conflicts between the old and new sites. We have also put a deadline on reinstating old characters: June 30, 2010. So be sure to apply for them before then!

It’s so good to see all the posting that’s going on on the boards. Keep it up! :)
