Hey All,
So the site should stop going down from now on every so often but that was mostly @Ghan and I doing on the fly server work and trying to find the perfect balance of linodes over at linode.com. So the site should be stable moving forward now with all downtimes being scheduled and announced in advance again.
Here are some of the updates that have happened over the last couple of days since the last announcement on thursday.
One of the big updates here is that we are not forcing the new system to be the only system as described in the quick points above. This is both from feedback and server limitations. Not every roleplay needs the entire power of an invite system, having several boards, etc. Hosted Projects are like mini sites. Most RPs only need 1-3 threads which the regular system lets you do, they just aren't tabbed. So under each genre you have forums for like OOC, Characters and Extra Pages for everything else. We might waive the 250 post requirement in the future based on feedback for HPs but we will see. The true dream is for those to be the entire site !
If you have any questions/feedback/concerns please post below.

Here are some of the updates that have happened over the last couple of days since the last announcement on thursday.
- Site Questions's answer/question mode was disabled and turned back into a regular forum.
- Feedback was sent back into Site Questions.
- The Old System of Thread RPing has been restored.
- The new RP system has been made a new hosted project system with out an application. You just need 250 posts to be able to make one, down from the previous 1000 and an application on the previous site.
- All the sections on the homepage should have an icon now (will do subforums in the future).
- Updated to the latest version of our new software, should come with a ton of performance updates for better speed.
- Moved all Avatars/Attachments to amazon storage. That finished last night, if some images are still wonky in posts, editting it and reinserting the attachments will auto fix it.
