What's this all About?

[cindyjeans]

Hey guyz, it's CJ.
I made this forum for two reasons. It's totally up to you if you want to use it or not.

This is a forum for the roleplay community chain on Livejournal that center around Flamingo Heights.

I wanted to have a place where people can chat outside of the comm OOC since some people have things they want to say and some people can't get into the chatrooms because of times zones and things like that.
Our members also tend to always have one point or other when they want to hear other comm members opinions on picking up characters and what not.
That's the first reason I made this forum.

The second reason is to maybe gather together all the important mod posts that are running around the three communities and post them in one place for sanity sake.
A lot is happening in the comms right now and it seems like a lot is having to be discussed.

This forum can also serve as a great mediator for the people on haitus by gathering ALL of the important notices here in one place so those on haitus don't have to jump around or anything. I'm thinking of making an archives board that briefly sums up each week as well for the lurkers and people on haitus.

Does this mean that if there's a chat today, we can keep all the rebuilding drama out of it? >.>

I think this is a wonderful idea CJ, not just to help is through these tough times now but it will just be something really convenient and fun to have around after we get everything worked out and are back into the swing of things. Thank you for it.

That would be nice, wouldn't it, snow? *sigh* u__u

[Snow]

Yeah, it would. Because I go to chats for crack, not RL/game drama. And that's been something that kind of annoyed me since before all of this happened.

It was frustrating yesterday, because we would decide to stop talking about the game and just do some crack RPing, then some one would pop up and ask a question and all the drama would start all over again ~____~

I think with this board it will be easier to avoid that, Snow. It wasn't nice but people needed to be updated, but this way as CJ seems to have planned we can just post up all the information anyone will need and link them when necessary :3

[Snow]

I know what you're saying. And I'm not mad or blaming any one...It was just REALLY frustrating. I felt like every one was talking at each other, but not really waiting for responses or answers or anything. That was part of why I went outside for a little bit; I didn't want to fly off the handle.

So I hope we can separate it and keep questions and concerns here, and keep the chats for crack. I love crack RP in the chat.

[cindyjeans]

Snow-
Yeah, sometimes the chats can get really heated about things that shouldn't be taken so seriously in a crack chat. It upsets me sometimes u.u all the drama of right now, yes its important and all but if we just hang onto what's bad about it for so long we won't be able to overpass it and everyone will be down for a long time. Granted, I was shocked when I found out because I recently went on haitus but I'm not hung up on it. I made this forum not JUST for that and all. I'm looking at this in a new light and not as a completely ONLY NEGATIVE thing.
Let's keep the chats fun from here on out, yes? :3

[Snow]

Y.

[Emely]

Agreed x3

[Saria-chan]

My only complaint about that is that sometimes (aka after having lunch with my dad) I REALLY need to rant, and I'd rather talk to a group of people than rant at one person or in my lj.

Maybe an ooc ranting board here?

[Snow]

I like that idea. Somedays, I want to rant about work, but I don't in the chats, because I want the chats to solely be for fun. Fun cheers me up more than ranting.
