Thank you Lucie.
Oh and I thought of another idea....
It's actually for the Archives. Really it may seem like just a pain and absolutely useless, but I found that it actually made going back to look for things A LOT easier. Perhaps if we have an archives board and within it a certain amount of sum-boards like one for RPs from the halls, classrooms, cafeteria, and outside. another for RPs from the lounge, dorms, washrooms, and pool. and another for the cities. That way people don't have to sift through ALL the rps to find the ones they are looking for.
Also, maybe once we are sure of who is staying or leaving CHA, we may want to take all the relationship pages and all the cell phone/email/journal pages and anyone's who isn't staying can either be trashed or put into an archives.
And another thought that just came to mind, the accepted applications of the characters may need to be marked with either, Active or non active. It helps when you're reading a profile you like and wish to RP with that character so you PM them, but never get anything back because they are inactive. Of course it's easy to look in an active members list but.. it was just a thought.
Just some more things that crossed my mind while I was doing nothing. lol. Not that I'm right. But they were just thoughts so I figured I's through them out there anyway.

V putting in her two cents here.I'm really touched by you guys wanting CHA up and running again, but due to life in general, I won't be able to help you or do much of anything on here anymore. I'm willing, however, to set up an account for a new admin - whoever that will be. I'm a little uncomfortable handing over this forum, but it makes no sense for me to be selfish when you guys want this place back. Just don't forget me, k? It's nice to see you guys again. I might drop in every once in a while. Either way, I'll just set up the new account. Besides admin powers, is there anything else this account should have? And who's getting it? And what should the username/password be?

As for who it should be I think it should be up to you. The site is technically yours and and like you said it's something you have to hand over. Personally, I think you should look at those of us left so far and make a nomination or two then allow them to say yes or no and after that I think it would be fair for all of us to be able to say yes or no on said nominations. I also think this person should be someone who is very active so that when things come up they are taken care of as quickly as possible.
Just my thoughts.

Putting my two cents in. I hate to be bias and maybe I am being but I agree with what Kara said. As for you V I know how it is to hand over a site and hopefully who will take over will be almost as good as you. I can help with plot and getting new memebers. So guys come on lets get our new admin and lets get this going.

I'm usually quite good at sorting out plots - though they're usually for my charries and kind of short notice - so if you give me the bare bones of it I can try writing it up, and my mad coding skillz are still up for grabs if we want a revamp. I know someone who's good with making skins aswell, if we want that changed.
As for the new admin, I reckon we should let V decide. Maybe Kyle, or Bella? Purely because Bella had the most ideas, rofl. xD

I think that we should as well create a head admin and then have two secondary admins.
As for the plot I do have a bit of an idea. My hidden character Todd Manning was supposed to create chaos and make the school shut down. So what if he did somehow...like blow up the school and now that the school is redone in a remote hidden location the threat of him finding out is fresh in the mind of the staff.

I agree with what everyone said above on the entire matter of the new admin; this was, originally, your forum, V, so you should decide on who should get it. Besides, it's probably better than just letting the question sit out there and have everyone want it and then everyone getting into an argument over it.

Arguments would certainly be a bad thing. I mean, I've played fight mediator before, but I dunno if this would be a defusable fight. Honestly I think if I fight insued due to this sort of thing the whole place would go up in smoke....And I don't think any of us wants that. (I know Mandi and I are asthmatic... smoke would be bad for us. XP!!!)

No smoke please!!!! lol
Ooo another idea I honestly think that COTM should go. Why? Because it isn't fair for to the people that don't get picked. I mean that hurts feelings if you lose or aren't nominated.

IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of a COTM, what if we had a shout out board?? Like a dedications thread. If we think someone deserves to get recognised for something they've been doing, We'll post there. Or even if we think someone just needs a special little something. I think that with no win/loose situations there will be less arguments. Besides, we all like to hear nice things about ourselves. Or even if we find something we like about us personally and would like to congradulate ourselves, ya know, a little pat on the back, yay me sort of thing. Those are always nice.
Again... Just a thought.

we probly will...i mean most of you would love to help out and we need lots of staff...hmmm not really sure how much...all depends on the amount of people we get...
and bella nice idea...we could add a section to the newspaper if we have some people sign up to do that, monthly or weekly...

Well the idea wasn't to have it done weekly or monthly or what ever. Because that still makes it sort of COTM/COTW ish. I'm thinking that if Anyone can go in at any time to give a shout out to any other member it would be really nice.

I'm not sure if I can just pick a new admin, but I agree Zozzi, I'd really like it if Bella or Kyle took this site over. Maybe both of you could be co-admin or something like that and have (like Mandi said) secondary admins. So, that's pretty much my input (and my nominations, I suppose?).

-smiles- That's very flattering, thank you. I'm glad to know that my little thoughts have done something. Uh, I suppose this is the part where I say that I'm alright with the nominations. So long as everyone else is.
And I promise I'll play honest and won't vote for myself. XP
EDIT: Kyle if you're okay with the nomination I think it wise to have three choices for a little poll. (ie: Bella, Kyle, or Both as Co-admins) Just, let me know if you;ll make it, or if you want me to, or hey look that person. You, yeah you over there, That person could make it??

Thank you very much, V. I'm very flattered that you would choose me, among all others, as one of the people who you'd like to take over the forum.
Yeah, Bella, I'm fine with that. I'll go make it right it now.

Well wouldn't you just choose the both of them? And we should get the boards fixed up and get going on this. We can't have a rp site back if we don't start rping. We also need to start advertising. I suggest someone make a new little button and description so people can post it on other RP sites. We gotta get the clean up done and start rping is the main thing and figure out the admin. Once we get the clean up we should start adverstising wherever we can. Like just go go go. Get some new affliates and get this going. We also need to get the secondary admins or mods up because Bella and Kyle will need help.
Just remeber that this site is what we make of it. So if we want to make this site awesome and amazing and better than it was before we all got to work together. If we want to get this board back up and running we have to work together. It is a key to a good site because people will judge the site on the memebers and how we post. So come on lets get this site back up and running. Lets get this CHA family back together again!

Don't jump the gun on this too quickly Andrew. I will get a hold of Kyle by tonight I hope and we'll come up with a solution. No worries my friend. And What are you putting on the support boards.. I have a few ideas as to how to make a really great Ad. If you want to PM me about it or something... We can further discuss this matter.

Hey Andrew...you missed the point of my post. You going off on your own and doing everything yourself is not getting us anywhere. You aren't an admin so I think that advertising should be up to the them. Saying that oh if I don't have a response by midnight I will do it anyway isn't working together. Andrew if your going to be doing stuff by yourself then you aren't being a team player. You aren't an admin so stop trying to do that job. Sorry if I am being bitchy about it but I want this board to work and if your doing your own thing it isn't going to work. We are team and we don't need people that fly solo on this. And honestly Andrew you need to work on your spelling. I mean I am 18 and I can spell better than you. New member will come on and see your post they might leave because of it. New members will judge us on our post and yours have so many spelling errors.
So if you love this board as much as I think you do stop flying solo and let the admins do their job and work on your posts. Cause honestly and truthfully my eleven year old cousin can spell better than you. Sorry again if I am being mean and bitchy but I am saying this for the good of the board. I want this board to be successful and this is my opinion.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Once Kyle gets back to me, We'll sort this all out and start formulating a game plan.
