Hi all,
Here's hoping the summer is treating you well and that there are many more sunny days ahead of you before life comes and rears it's ugly head again.
On that note, Curly and I have decided to do some late summer cleaning in order to bring this site back from the dead. Now, we have periodically done this in the past to a minor degree, so it should not be anything too out of the ballpark for you all.
We did send out an e-mail to that effect, but just in case you didn't get it, here it is again:
Hi All,
We have been very bad admins lately and let this place get a bit...dead. I know, I know - way to start on a depressing note there, Buck...
That being said, we have decided to get our butts in gear and do some late summer cleaning here at GG&SC to see if we can't revive it. We are in the process of making some changes that we hope will be more user friendly for you all! So if you see our site is in maintenance mode, please check in later.
So here is what we need from you:
1. Before Sept.1/11 we need to hear from you to know if you are interested in participating in our forum AND if you will be keeping your cannon character. If we do not hear from you after Sept. 1, your character is up for grabs for someone else waiting in the wings with no character at all.
To do this, you can PM, IM, or e-mail one of your admins (Buck and Curly). We don't care how you get a hold of us, as long as you do because we are really bad at reading minds!
2. For those of you not sticking with us, please note your account will be switched to the name of "Guest" after Sept. 1/11. You will have until Nov. 1/11 before this guest account is permanetly deleted. So if you need any posts you created while you were with us here at GG&SC, or change your mind about leaving, this is your opportunity to do so.
Why do we do this? It keeps our forum from getting backlogged, and it keeps our new and old RP's from disputing who has the right to play which character, etc.
3. Some members who will be recieving this e-mail will not have cannon characters to worry about. You all have been patiently waiting in the wings for a character and we appreciate this! We want to hear from you, as well. If there is a list of characters you are interested in, please PM us with that list and we will let you know what is available Sept 1/11. As always, it will be first come, first serve. So get those lists in, people!
Also, please keep in mind OCs are welcome! There is always something you can do to keep busy!
4. Some people getting this e-mail will also be "lurkers". These are folks who have an account with us, but no posts. We want you all to have the chance to participate and join in on the fun. Otherwise, we really have to wonder what you're getting out of our little corner of the internet. We've said it before - we're a participation based site, not a fanfiction-esque repository for casual reading. So join in and have some fun!
Thank you all for reading this and hopefully we will see more of your wonderful role playing in the future!
Your admins,
Curly, Buck (Trip and Tabitha)
Awesome e-mail, huh? I was quite proud of it. But there you have it - all you need to know about what we'll be doing over the next couple months.
So please do your part and let us know what we need to know! And that way, you can save the dolphins... or save me headaches, whichever works for you!
Thanks for reading,
Buck and Curly (Trip and Tabitha)
