Updates For Springtime 2014Why hello there, friendly fellow ferals~ It looks like it's time for a another news update as the weather warms up and we head right into our next colorful season. We've had a fairly laid-back winter, but pretty soon we hope to be getting right back into some new events, and maybe even a bit of spring cleaning while we're at it.
So, without further ado, what's been going on around FeralHeart?
Board & Site ChangesDid someone say
Spring Cleaning~?
As of right now, our staff are busy at work, going through board by board and cleaning up any "Please delete!" threads in our site, and otherwise tidying up around the forum. It's a big job to do! In light of this, if you happen to see any "Please delete!" threads lying around, know you're free and welcomed to PM the link to one of our staff, and we'll be happy to delete it (plus, you'll be helping us out a bit, too!).
As a few of you may have noticed, we've updated the
Pack/Pride Child Board Information application sticky, located in our Group Advertising Board. We currently have
three slots open for those of you with big roleplays that might be interested in having your own child board on the forum. If this is the case, and your roleplay fits the criteria listed in the application, message a staff member with the appropriate RP information, and we'll be happy to look into a child board for you.
For those of you who might've been keeping an eye on our Preset Contest Board, we have a
new Preset Contest General Info and Hall of Fame sticky, which will remain in that board as we cycle through the new contests.
(Curious about new contests? Scroll down for more info on the Preset Contest revival~)
Speaking of stickies, we've also updated the
Mate Thread Rules sticky in our Character Search board, since it hadn't been updated in quite some time. Happy roleplaying!
On a more serious note, several months back we made an announcement regarding
account usage, and it is still very relevant for all users.
IMPORTANT NOTICE (Regarding Account Usage)The link is here for you to re-read, but here are the main highlights from it:
- Please DO NOT share your account information with anyone (even close friends)
- Do not ask for or give away "free accounts," as this can lead to a mess of trouble for you if the other person decides to misbehave and get themselves restricted from the game.
We've seen some users around the game and forum asking for these "freebie" accounts, and we do implore you to take great care for your accounts, and make one that is your own--do not borrow them from others. The same concept applies to those who give away their old accounts (don't do it, please). Registration opens daily, so new potential members should keep a close eye on the site, check in every hour or two when you can, and you will find it open soon.
Persistence and patience pays off in the long run, we promise!
Events & kewl sturfIn case you haven't heard, we're kicking off our second
FeralHeart Official Roleplay Day (FHORD), and we need YOU and everyone else to spread the word, so we can get as many users in on this fun day as we can! It starts the morning of April 6th (that's
this Sunday), and lasts the entire day, where everyone (even staff!) dedicate their day to roleplaying with anyone and everyone, enjoying the creativity of our wonderful community, no holds barred. Wanna learn more? Check out our
FHORD Board for more detail, and
invite your friends by showing them the event's official link:
www.tinyurl.com/fhroleplayWe hope to see you there, and bring your fun-loving creativity with you~!
After a long hiatus, we're pleased to be bringing back our old favorite, the
FeralHeart Preset Contest! It will now be held each season, and our kick-off theme is Super Heroes! Wanna join in on the fun? Come check out the contest and let us know what you think in our
Spring Preset Contest Info thread!
Just as well, our
Spring Member of the Season Voting is well under-way, and we encourage you to come out and vote for who you think are our most deserving and hard-working members this Spring.
Voting ends April 10th. Our best to all nominees!
Side NoteWe've had some notable changes in the staff lately, as well. Two of our moderators,
BigSkippy and LordSameth (Sam also served us as a global moderator during her time on the team) stepped down from the staff not long ago due to some new challenges in their real lives, and having less time than they would like to donate to FH. However, we're very glad to have had them give their time and efforts into the game while they were here, and we wish them the best in all of their endeavors. We hope to see you guys back soon to visit, and thank you for all of your work! Along with this,
Sherlockian (also known as Genny) has been working hard in her training as our newest MIT, and we know we'll see her continue to work hard here on the game and forum as she reaches to further help the FH community.
Also, our
Feral-Heart-Art DeviantART Group have been busy bees lately, too, working on a brand new layout for the DA page, and a new
FHArt Background Contest. Click on the links provided here to go check them out! FHArt Background Contest submission deadline is April 12th!
Thank you for reading, lovelies, and have a great Spring season!
