Title: Winter News Update 2014
Post by: WhiteLightHeart on February 13, 2015, 01:48:38 am
Updates For Winter 2014
A (slightly belated~) Happy New Year from the FH Staff! It's 2015, it's been a chilly winter, but the FH community is always abuzz with activity. Let's see what's been going down around here, shall we?



Board & Site Changes

We have a new sticky in our Introduction Board (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=9.0)! It's likely that this sticky will be temporary, but the main idea is to help get the Intro board pushed toward what it's meant to be used for--actual introductions, or announcements of returning former players. It's used less for announcing a display name change, or a return from only a day, week, or otherwise short periods of time. A nudge in the right direction is a good thing, yeah?

New to the forum? Wondering how it can help improve the FeralHeart game experience? Our entire forum is made to help our users share their own ideas and creations with fellow users, and you really never know what you'll stumble upon next. Art, addons, events, you name it, our forum's probably got it. Find new roleplays in our Group Advertising Board (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=118.0), check out the newest interface mod or fancy presets in our FeralHeart Addons & Mods Boards (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=34.0), or meet with some friends for a user-hosted party or livestream in the Community Activities Hub! (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=34.0)

We've also upped the security on our website a little bit, so you've probably noticed that you've had to fill in a few numbers or letters in a captcha box when you go to post. It's a few extra seconds to post, but it's there to make sure our forum is secure from bots, etc., and also helps prevent spam.

Events & kewl sturf

Our DeviantART page, Feral-Heart-Art, has launched a Character Design Contest! (http://feral-heart-art.deviantart.com/journal/FH-Art-Character-Design-Contest-update-510308157) Using only the FH character creator and in-game markings, the top three creative characters that capture the judges' hearts will be put into a poll, and then our DA watchers can decide the final winner! The deadline is February 20th, so there's still time to join! Learn more here. (http://feral-heart-art.deviantart.com/journal/FH-Art-Character-Design-Contest-update-510308157)

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the FH Official Roleplay Day on February 7th! Oodles of users had a blast roleplaying with their fellow ferals, staff played some radio while RP'd, and in general it was a great time for many. Missed out on this RP Day? Fear not, and check out our  to keep your eyes peeled for the next one! (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=136.0FHORD Board[/url)

Of course, a whole-hearted congratulations to our Winter Members of the Season: TwistedLizard, Raphilion, and WhisperingWaves! Right before the new year, these folks were voted by the community to be the most deserving of the Winter MOTS title, and we can't help but agree! Each of them have fabulous attitudes, and we hope they'll continue to spend time bringing their bright smiles and positive attitudes to the FH community. Congratulations as well to all nominees, and keep an eye on our MOTS Board (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=60.0) as we anticipate the Springtime MOTS, just around the corner.

It feels like it was only last week, but we also wanted to give a belated tip of the hat to those who came out to our FH Winter Holiday Party on December 20th, 2014! Until the next time, stay fabulous, and don't forget those dance moves for the next party! (Which, of course, we'll unveil in its due time~)

Side Note

We've had a few changes with staff, too! Firstly, this past winter, we've had Takani and Genny/Sherlockian step down from their moderator positions, but we're grateful to have had their hard work and dedication while they were here on the team with us. We'll see you guys around, and our love to both of you from the FH community! BigSkippy, a former moderator, has now returned to the team as a full mod, and so he's been around to lend a paw once more! Just as well, we now have not one, but TWO new MITs (Moderators In Training). They're none other than than Bawfle/BigBangTheory and Raphilion! They've been working hard in their training, and we expect they will be very fine and diligent additions to the staff team.

Thanks for reading, y'all, and until next time, enjoy the rest of the season!

Congrats to all who were mentioned and I'm, again, glad to see the FeralHeart community had such a bustlin' yet memorable season of frost. I look forward to what Spring may bring 'round (or is it already Spring..?)

Much thankful and well written update, Ally!
Though haven't seen the captcha box already, but it might span up whenever one posts, good to know.

Congrats to the floofs you have been very helpful, and the ones who got another postion in the community!

As it ain't Spring just yet as floof Vesp said, still looking forward th' that as well!

I'd like to give my congratulations to the Members of the Season for winter and the new moderators in training. I grant you much luck and patience in your training session.

I hope everyone did have fun during FH Official Roleplay Day as I could not participate at the time. I'd also like to give a welcome back greeting to BigSkippy and a thank Takani and Sherlockian for their previous service to the community.

Thank you very much for the update, Allegra, looking forward for more in the future.

Now when you say in-game markings, you do also include Mass Markings and Aug 22, right? I have a character I'd really like to enter, but she uses one of those two. (I can't remember which.)

While Mass Markings are indeed common, they are still custom markings, which may not be entered in the contest. Only the original markings provided in the game are available for this contest.
Sorry for any inconveniences! This is mainly just to keep things consistent, so any user may enter. c:
