I have suggestions foooor.... Fwiffle, as you are the only remaining admin at the moment! xc
How about making a board to house threads that have been finished/abandoned/etc.? Especially where the plot is concerned, so if a newbie joins after certain plot elements have been completed, they'll be able to read up on what's happened so far. Along that same line, a 'thread summaries' thread would be useful as well, so said newbies will not have to sift through hoards of threads, and other players that didn't participate in those threads will know what went on in 'em.
I've seen both of these at different RP sites, they seem to work well. I've always found them very helpful. :3

I think I understand what you are saying (it's morning and I havn't had any coffee xD so I'm a bit slow.)
So we would have to make a new section for finished threads? With a different part (a bit like the Welcome Wagon) made for the overarching plot. Sounds good to me, if I've got everything right I will make it soon.

Pffft, okay I think I've finished. xD You might want to check it and see if I missed anything.
I was going to do a separate part but being the fail I am I can't figure out how to do it. xD I was never told. So I will just have to make the overarching thread sticky for you so it's always at the top.

I saw it -- it looks great! Do we post the thread summaries in the board, or at the end of the thread? And I've got quite a few nominations for threads that need to be moved there... >3 When a thread is finished or appears dead, should we just PM you the link or something like that? Sticky works for me. xD It's fairly hard to miss anyway, IMO~ <3 Thank you, thank you!

Ah yes, forgot to mention those. Thanks. And yeah, Pming sounds good but just post the ones you have now here . I need to search through them, there is uh.. A lot. xD
Just a quick question, what does IMO mean? Thats what my friends call me, Imo, and I get confused. xD

IMO I see that as a lot of work. xD
Right then. I will do any that I know, that's about 3 or 4. And thanks for finding all of those, I just realised how many I have never seen before. *Slaps* I need to RP more. Okay I will do The Final Avengement, Well Can't Go No Further, A New Start and any others that might not be listed. So you can ignore those. Wow, how many will there actually be left? Nnnk. I will think of that later. xD

There are precious few active RPs right now. xD I've only been in one or two of those, so as far as summaries go, somebody else will have to do 'em. D: It is a lot, isn't it... how depressing. x(

Might have to start a few new ones and get out a whip. ....No I'm not that mean. >_< I will hunt people down or read through a few later. It will be done within the next few days. If you see any that are done can you cross them off the list too? I find stupid things like that helpful. xD

This could take longer than I thought, I seem to have forgotten everything. I will probably end up doing the shorter ones myself and just read through them like I just did. I don't know why I am telling you this, I guess I needed a break. xD
I've done two and I checked "Of All the Bays". I don't think we should get rid of that one yet, we might be able to save it because they are just waiting for someone. It's only been a month so I will ask what is happening with it. Plus it is huge and I'm too tired to do it now. xD << I use that face way too much.

I don't mind reading through some of the shorter ones and posting summaries, either, so let me know if you want any help on that. :3 The longer threads that died with people that probably won't come back -- i.e., mousear, nikki, Allicloud?, and a few others that haven't been here in months -- someone that was active in those threads and is still active now should be told to summarize IMO. Saves a lot of unnecessary reading, yes? x3

The ones I did I was actually in so that's why I did them but I'll go ask them now. Dartpaw said he would be kind enough to do Of All the Bays because he was in it. And it would be tons of help if you did some of the shorter ones. Even if it is only one.

xD LOL sure. Should I put in messages asking if they're done, first, or just have at 'em?
