February 2018 - Aldous Crouch - February 2, 2018
Hi team! Welcome to beta. Your job is to peruse, use, and otherwise test out our new house. Here are some welcome notes:
- Beta is confidential! LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS.
- Please begin to peruse our pages for any changes in board policy, paying particular note to reputation as well as any docs specific to your character.
- Apply your first character and fill out their claims! :D
- For any problems/errors/fires you encounter, please post in the Beta Help! thread. For specific contacts...
— CODING, GRAPHICS, ETC: Olive and Te
— TYPOS & LINK ERRORS: Bee and MJ
— LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE: Bean & Kayte
- You can request accounts made for your other 2 (or 3 if you have that prize) characters in Maintenance. Please wait until after your first character has been approved to do this, and try to bring over characters that are as different from one another as possible!
- Please remember that going forward you'll be asked to tag your threads with their date and location. Coding for this can be found in the New Topic view for IC forums!

Hi friends!
As we inch closer to member opening (date TBA!), just a casual reminder to fill in your miniprofiles and, for those of you approved on an Admin Lazy Day™, make sureyou’re your app info made it into your extended profile xD Please contact the staff team if you need help with either!
RE: February 2018 - Aldous Crouch - February 21, 2018
Did you kill someone and intend for them to stay dead, but realize they were [INSERT TITLE HERE] for five years and feel weird about that no longer being the case? HAVE I GOT THE GOOGLE FORM FOR YOU!
From now until March 18th, players may request here to have professional claims held for characters that won’t be migrating to New Board either due to death or having run their course. Prefect, head, and student quidditch claims will not be held for anyone. These requests are subject to staff discretion, so be sure to make them detailed and only go to bat for the ones you TRULY care about.
Any vacant slots on New Board at the time of public opening will be considered fair game.

Your time has finally come: welcome to our new home! Please take the time to go through our “Acquaint Yourself” page accessible at the top of the forum, and to check out our new features!
We’ve budgeted a four week transition period before we throw open our doors to the masses. Those of you with many characters, particularly complex characters, or who are not immediately on the ball may have issues transferring everyone before public opening on March 29th—we encourage you, therefore, to prioritize characters as you bring them over and remind you of the 2-for-one application prize that has been floating around for the last two months.
You should also be aware that our application process and template are different than before. You’ll need to familiarize yourself with this! Because we now port information to your extended profiles, bonus marks to anyone who uses HTML instead of BBCode when formatting their app—it’s faster for us to transfer, which means we can sort your app faster ;)
Because there are SO MANY characters, we’ve tried to stem the tide by ‘scheduling’ when certain character types can be brought over:
From March 14th until March 21st, we will accept those characters, as well as inactive characters with immortal faces.
From March 21st until March 28th, we will accept those characters as well as anyone who has ever been approved on the Sunwolves or Invisionfree boards.
As of March 29th, we will accept all existing or new characters. Huzzah!
To our legacy members who are not currently active on Sunwolves: you may app immortal inactives right away, and then the remainder of your characters beginning March 21st.
To the new members who found us during our time of upheaval: you may app your first character right away, and then any additional characters beginning March 29th.
ON CLAIMS:
ON PRIZES:
ON ISSUES:
As of now, the following issues are known and are on the to-do list:
— Mentions not sending alerts
— Layout issues in profiles on smaller screen sizes
— Layout issues when reading PMs on smaller screen sizes
— Nothing lives in the scrolly box
— Some UCP icons are wonky
— The mobile skin, generally
— Icon alignment on extended profile
— Anything already reported
Telling us about things we're aware of only makes us take the time to read the thing we're already aware of instead of fixing it ;)
ON TEAMS:
Welcome to the new era, Charmers!
RE: February 2018 - Aldous Crouch - February 27, 2018
Currently, our Buddy Team, the Weekly Wenches, and the Gossipmongering Hags are all hiring! This is in part to bring in some new blood, but also to make sure the old blood is still eager and willing to partake.
Those looking to join any of the groups above should PM the appropriate form to the appropriate leader. Those looking to continue in any of the groups above here on new board should PM that same person something along the lines of “I am willing and able to continue my role” just for confirmation’s sake!
Deadlines for Wenches and Hags are in three weeks; Buddy applications are always open.
