Hello there! Cupcakes to those who have been thinking about registering! =3 Now, back to business. Please read through the whole rule thread. These are important, so don't just ignore them! There will be consequences for breaking these rules. Have fun!
REGISTERING
So, let's get to business. We don't care what username you have - whichever you can remember. However, once you are all registered and you know the character you want to play, please change your display name. For example; USERNAME: iluvedward112233, then you would change it to DISPLAY NAME: isabella marie swan. Also, don't forget to have your name in all lower case, in this order: first middle last. We want things to look professional, mkays?
Now, if you want to claim a cannon, please go to our cannon list, and reserve our character if she/he is open. Then you may go to our application thread, copy the code, and start on your application. If you have an original character, just go to application and copy it, then start on your application. If you have some of your application finished, but you have to go - just put {WIP} in the title. If you have finished the whole application, put {DONE} in the title. Also, make sure the title has the first, middle, and last - in that order. Please, don't go to the face claim until your character has been accepted.
Now, we may have a variety of species, but no wizards, witches, or cyclopes. We are not looking for Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's, or whatever you people call them. However, we do accept originals, as well as cannons.

THE CHATBOX
Come give our C-Box a look! Talk to us! We won't bite or growl, we are actually friendly! We understand some of us are shy and all, but really - we want to talk to you! We love new members, and we know that it is hard to be a new member! We will be accepting, though - making it easy! =]
Ugh, no matter how many times I repeat this - some people just don't understand. In clear english: No Spamming! It is rude and inconsiderate! Nobody wants a bad record, and spamming gives you just that! So knock it off!
We have an advertising board, if you don't know where it is - there is a link to it in our side tables! So we don't need to advertise in the C-Box, kay? It will only annoy people, not get you more members...
Really people - cut out the language. It is tacky and annoying - not cool or stylish. We don't mean you can throw in a couple of words like shit, crap, or bitch - but keep it to a minimum. No 'f-word'.
You have to be over 13 to join ProBoard forums, right? So please - tell me why we can't act mature and not fight? We don't accept any form of bullying, insults, or rude comments about someones sex, religion, race, etc. If we see you acting like a five-year-old and doing this - you will be banned from this site. Forever.
Hey - include everyone in your chat - not just your BFFL! That is what PMs are for. We all want to be accepted, so how would you feel if someone just completely ignored you in the C-Box? Right - it isn't a very good feeling, is it?

ROLEPLAYING
We do have standards here for roleplaying. We are a literate, advanced site. We have a word count of 150+, no less - but more is greatly appreciated. This really isn't a hard goal, quite easy, actually. When you get into the post - the words just flow! So please - keep the one-liners for another site.
Please keep your grammar and spelling accurate. We have a spell check at the bottom on the post - right next to the post reply button. So please, use it! They didn't add it for it to be ignored! Plus, other people don't want to spend their whole friggin day trying to figure out what you're trying to say. =P
We know sex, drugs, and pregnancy's happen in life. This is a mature site, so we understand if your character/s are feeling romantic...but if you have a thread with any of these materials, put an [R] in the title - not everyone wants to know the details, either, so keep it Stephanie Meyer-like.
If you want you character to be pregnant - then PM a staff member for approval. We don't want a million pregnant girls running around. We understand this stuff happens, but it doesn't happen a lot in a town that small. =P
Okay, so you've typed up this huge post - then someone just posts a crappy paragraph back. How would you feel? Not good, right? Right. So, please - keep your posts good, because people actually do care about roleplaying, and it isn't very much fun if the person you're roleplaying with can't roleplay very well... =[
You have your character and others have theirs. So tell me why people play other characters for the other people? Just to inform you god-moders, the other person can roleplay their characters without your help. It is annoying - and rude.

CHARACTERS
You may only have a limit of five characters. They must be on different accounts, so people don't get confused. We understand that you may have unlimited time and all - but seriously - five is a ton of characters to roleplay. You must keep every character active, or they will be deleted.
We know girls are all fabulous and all - but boys are good, too. So please, you must have one boy for every three girl characters. We don't want to have just girls on this site - boys are important!
Ugh. Please don't complain if your face claim is not open. There are about a million actors and actresses out there, so we're pretty sure you can find another to suit your character - even if that means changing her/him up a bit.
You must fill out the whole application - or your character will not be accepted. It has to be filled out right, too. End of story.

ACTIVITY
Okay, so we're a bit of activity freaks. We don't like inactive members, period. We will understand if you have a reason, though. Life isn't perfect for all of us, and we understand that. All you have to do is PM an admin with your personal reason, because you don't have to tell the world. If you are going on a vacation, or will be gone for a period of time - post in our leaving board.
We have activity checks here, to check if all of our members are actually active. All you have to do is reply to the thread using the code - filling out your characters. If you don't reply to the activity check after two days - your account/s will be deleted. =[
