[Bella McKensie]

This is all well and fine.. I'm for it.
And I'm more than happy to post where I'm needed..
But There is something I was wondering..
(mandi you already know this lol)
Don't we need an Admin??? Someone who can do EVERYTHING not just edit stuff like some staff members?? (No offence)
Some one needs to contact V. And if she's not going to come back, someone needs to be appointed for her position.

[Travis McPearson]

I have emailed her and added her to AIM

[Kyle Lyufor]

Well, I guess we just have to wait for her response

[Travis McPearson]

If we have anyway to contact other memebers through IM and that we should do that too

[Andrew Neumann]

Well funny thing i noticed....she made admin a persons group and i am a staff member so all i have to do is put somone under headmistress catagory, but i won't until she says i can

[Lisa Mitalka]

Should we make a new plot? You know, like one having the school having been closed and then re-opened for some reason. I could make it if anyone agrees on that. That way, we can get a new ad going for the site and start mass advertising on other forums.

[Andrew Neumann]

hmmm sounds good, i sent a msg to V and she should be here as soon as she can....shes active (or was active) yesterday on here collage site.

[Andrew Neumann]

hmm after i get a answer from V i will(if she answers the way i want her to) put the site in maninece, put everything that hasent been replied to in the past 7 days(other than rules) in the arcive, maby make a new plot, maby make a new background, mass advertise...any thing else that need to be done to get this site back to its greatest moments?

[Lisa Mitalka]

We don't need to put the site in maintenance, mostly due to the fact that that way we can't figure out if members are coming back or not. I agree with you on the site clean-up idea for the threads that need to be put in the archive. A new background? Personally, I don't feel like we need one. If anyone feels like making one, go ahead, but other than that, there's no need for it. Mass advertising is a must, as is a new plot, but that part depends on whether V comes back or not.

Also, Andrew, hate to be so sorta...staff/moderator type, but could you please use spell check when you post? This is just for the sake of myself and many others being able to read your posts. Thanks.

[Andrew Neumann]

hmmm ok, i just like matinence mode...if you could help then i wouldnt need it, i ussaly do most of it, and then it looks really weird unless al of the site is fixed up...i dont know when i can work on it....probly tomarrow night or sometime...

[Bella McKensie]

I agree I don't think maintenance mode is necessary. Just work on it. It's not like people will come looking for old threads. You don't have to work like weird little elves in a shoe makers shop, all in the night and without anyone knowing. Just put up a notice that says if you're looking for something that isn't there, check the archives. If people are going to be coming back, they need somewhere to post. So, putting it all under maintenance doesn't make sense to me.

As for the Closing/Re-opening plot, I like it, but it could use some flavor. However let's think logically. We're in Brooklyn right? Is there anything going on that could possibly be a reason for it shutting down. Like for instance, it wouldn't be logical to say that CHA got closed due to a Tsunami scare....The chances of Brooklyn being seized up by a Tsunami is a little ridiculous. Also, Where would the kids go? If the students live in surrounding areas and say, its a radioactive thing that could effect all of NY, perhaps it's best we locate elsewhere, and it could make for a few decent RP's if we were all flying in from various locations (ie: possibly Bella is flying in from Arkansas because she went to stay with a family friend) I personally think it'd be a good beginner for those of us re-opening it. Sorta like a reunion. (Again, ie: Kyle and Bella are friends... perhaps it would be a scare for them. Friends might not see each other after a closing. It'd be fabulous to see one another again) Heck some students might not even be excited to see CHA again. They may be like "Great.... here again... Back to prison." That sort of thing. I don't know what you all had in mind, but that was just something that happened to cross mine.

As for Mass ads. I can help there. I've advertised on the Proboards support forum before and can manage an ad for this once we get one ready. Of course, it does help if more than one person is doing it. Another thing as far as advertising goes, One of us should check out the sites linked in our affiliates banner. If they are inactive or CHA is not in their banner it'd be no use keeping them as no one will see the advertisement. In which case, we'll need new, more active and more reliable affiliates.

Just my thoughts on all this.

[Lisa Mitalka]

Great idea for the plot, Bella. I think that if the school closes, everyone sorta has to go on their own and back to their own homes, but the question is what happens to cause that? Maybe a bunch of students get murdered on school grounds and the government closes the school for fear of more deaths, or something along those lines...

[Bella McKensie]

hehehe.. Well... not to play off old characters. But I remember a certain character.... actually an instance when I myself (as a character of course) was staring down the barrel of a ...shotgun was it. It was the same guy who exploded the washroom. Perhaps he became a terrorist threat.

I know the person who played him and there is no chance he'll come back. So I'm most positive he'll not mind if we god mod his character. Not to mention he's sort of bent on world domination in real life so I'm pretty sure he'd be honored to be the reason of a school closure.

[Lisa Mitalka]

Okays, works for me. I can get a write up of the plot to put in the ads done. The last piece of info I would need for that would be to knowing whether V is coming back or not.

EDIT: I've also added a new code to the forum. I'll try to explain it to the best of my ability, but people will probably get confused.

Anyways, this is a great thing for people with alt charries who hate having to switch accounts to post with another charrie. What you do with this is when you go to reply, there will be a box above the quick reply or the reply box that lists your accounts. You use the drop-down menu to choose one of your accounts, and presto, you're posting as that character. But to get to that, you have to first log out, get your characters saved as some of your aliases, then log back in. When you're finished posting as a character, there will be a little message when you come back to the main forum that asks if you want to stay as the charrie or go back to the original one. Simply click on the option that you'd prefer.

whoa whoa whoa..

Not that I'm not cool with you being Head or anything, so don't take it personal.... but when did it happen and how? I mean if the site is being left to all of us, don't any of the rest of us have a little say in it? Not that I'm miffed. I just like to be fair. Also, is there anyway to give other people side jobs. Like, a deputy or anything. A dead site is hard to recover for one person. Just want it clear that I'm sure we're all here to help.


NVM!!!!!!!
I thought you were that was strange. My mistake.

As for the plot I'd love to work with you on it if you need any help

EDIT: The new code, is that going to work for people with changing IP addresses?

hmmm not sure what you mean...but you did say nvm but still i would like to coment it....all qustions will be answered by V...if she wants to come back then she remains head, if she don't care then we have a vote, and yea we will need more staff than just two...so i'm sure those that have been here and will remaine to be will be asked if they would like to help.

[Bella McKensie]

Andrew you last sentance makes little to no sense to me. Try editing it a little I think you have an extra word or two, and spell check will help to. (Sorry if that's out of place it's just hard to understand you.)

[Andrew Neumann]

sorry...i must have a weird way of talking

i ment that those who are here the longest (so they know how to do the stuff around here) , and are still active...will be offered to join the staff.

and i hope we don't have the problem with the lists this time around....(the unorganized lists)

[Bella McKensie]

Well I also think it's a good idea to get a feel for who's more familiar with proboards themselves. I mean, I personally have made an attempts to resurect my own board, so I think that if staff members are more familiar with the programs and the codes it's also useful.

[Bella McKensie]

I know I'm double posting, but any word from V?

[{ lilly coeur]

Well, I'm pretty good at coding if we want the forum different, like instead of the top table we could have a side bar.

And Bella, that plot sounds good. I know I'm a bit late but meh.

Yeah, just wanted to offer my services as a coder. xD
