Hi there,
So after a long hiatus, I'm back and have been working on some housecleaning around here. Even though LOTS is gone - Richard and Kahlan will be back in Terry's new novel! With LOTS now over the boards needed some refreshing and reorganizing so I spent today clearing out old threads, creating new boards & moving around existing boards for better site navigation.
I'm also starting back up our art challenges
So here are the changes:
1) Welcome board - cleaned it up - all single newbie threads have been merged into our pre-existing Newbie Intro Board. Various older "get to know you" types of poll threads have been moved down into the Member Lounge.
2) Seeker Discussion Boards - I moved all of the season 2 threads up into a new season 2 archive. From now on, we don't have to worry about spoilers, etc - feel free to start whatever discussion topics that you want for the series.
3) Book Discussion Boards - We have a new novel coming soon! I've removed the sub-boards for the other novel discussions and moved all of the individual novel discussion boards to the main board to make them easier to locate. All old LOTS discussion threads have been archived.
4) Round Table - Star News - I made sub-boards for Bridget, Craig, and Tabrett news and archived all of the old show news.
5) Save our Seeker - Changed the name of the board from Season 3 Planning. Moved the forum to the news area.
6) Fantasy/Supernatural/Horror Board & Sci-Fi Board - I removed the old TV&Movie Sub-boards out of the entertainment board (includes music discussions.) We now have 3 specific boards for entertainment talk. Entertainment board is for everything non-sci-fi/fantasy related. Fantasy & Sci-Fi boards are for TV, Movie, or book discussions for each of the genres.
The fantasy board encompasses fantasy/Supernatural/Horror.
Finally -
7) Art & Video Challenges Board - I'm relaunching our challenges here since they used to be so popular. This go around, the mods aren't necessarily responsible for creating challenges - I'm leaving that up to our members. Because we all have moved on and are watching other things, the art/video challenges are open for artist interpretation, you can art any TV series or movies, etc that catch your fantasy unless the challenge specifies any restrictions. LOTS art is always welcome.
There are rules attached to wanting to host a challenge - you can read them HERE. Once you've read the rules you can sign up to run a challenge HERE. If you entered our old challenges - they count towards your being able to host a challenge.
Currently I have 1 challenge running and I'm looking for new banners for our forums to make some fresh new skins. Since we don't have to worry about spoilers/spoiler tags, the black on the backgrounds is going away for our new skins! Check out the latest challenges HERE.
Anywhoo - that's where we are Thoughts? Comments?
