Yessss, my Hall of Fame can finally be used; Fenris hated that thing so much but I always said "BUT IT'S MINE YOU CAN'T GET RID OF IT ;__; " hahah Anyhow, it may be time to completely clear the packs out and start over. Perhaps we can work something out where the one or all of the Gods (or, you know, that Evil one yours truly) gets angry and wipes out the packs, forcing everyone to start over. That way, we won't have to deal with people getting mad because their pack this-and-that. Still would like to keep the original pack names though. Maybe I'm just sentimental.
As for a new prophecy, let's brainstorm. One, two, perhaps even three members, first (second and maybe third) to 100 new IC posts gains the Sight? Maybe members submit their name if they want to be eligible for the Sight and I can punch them into a Randomizer? Something like that?

I'm not sure if a prophecy would work...that takes a lot of time. I'm thinking just have something BANG happen then re start...example.
New war comes to the mountains with the on slot of new technology of the land is rocked with disasters and the land is torn apart by the likes of machines never seen before. Fires erupt and rocks crumbles forcing everything living to evacuate or hide. 1-5 years later The war is nearly over(or over?) slowly life is beginning to filter back in. Life how we once renumbered it is gone, loved ones have been lost and leaders disappeared. Can the Transylvanian wolves survive? Re build their shattered lives or succumb to the new dangers that their once beloved home throws at them.
Something were we just restart fresh and dramatic, and theres a reason why some old members are gone or they can be MIA. Everyone can write up a brief summary about what happened to the characters(still alive? How they died?where they are at or how they changed?) Some lands can be changed or closed off until the land rebuilds, and maybe packs can merge if only some members show up. Lalala theres lots of options, a new layout will probably be needed too..
Nocty-Ooo BCC or BCI? Boa's are so awesome, my sister currently has two young BCI Salmons. So pretty <3

We can just combine ideas and say Wolfbane got peeved there was a war and started wiping Transylvania the f*** out, haha (and then we fast-forward maybe a year or two because WE'RE WOLVES AND WE HAVE LIMITED LIFESPANS and some of us were getting kinda' old, what with TS being around 8 years and all)

Hey everybody i haven't been on here in a few months, but I've been watching people post the last couple of days and i decided to post. I like the idea of having having the packs start new even though i never joined a pack. I also have an idea to get new members, i was on this other RPing site and they had affiliates with other sites that had the same topic. So i was thinking that if the admins here could maybe get some affiliates like the ones mention by Grell that maybe some of the members from those sites would join here.

Spft cant we just grant some wolves immorality ;P I can't kill off my dear old Moon even though she should technically be dead by now. Minor details ,lol.
Anywho, yea back to brainstorming. If everyone does decide on a back story for the revamp we can begin to organize little subplots and stuff amongst our selves. We should probably have a place where all the current members can talk and decide on things before inviting lots of new people in. Its going to be very important for the packs, say if 7 people come back in a pack then obviously a new person cant take it over....But if only 1 person comes back they should probably abandon and join up elsewhere. Having one less pack would be good to try and encourage more people to group up and get active.
Oh and does anyone know how to do html? I know basics and can design but I have no idea how to revamp a proboards, and though the old layout is very homey i'm pretty sure every new person things its ugly. If we go with a darker story theme of everything dead lets try and rebuild(hey its the truth!) we need to make the layout and such feel the same way.
But I guess we need to get the story down first, then the layout and then advertising as an entirely new site. Just to try and get members in, or inspire old ones to come back.(hopefully they don't hate it!) If everything fails at least everyone gave it their best shot!
Ooo nice BCC I totally messed up, my sister has BCI's. <3 snakes!

Honestly, I wish I could say that after I became MIA from this site, I just stopped RPing altogether, but in all honesty I just moved on to a different kind of RP. I've been roleplaying on Livejournal now, and haven't really looked back at any of my old proboard RPs. But I have stopped by TS from time to time just to see what was up, and I was kind of sad at how inactive it's become. I've considered coming back, but I just didn't have the inspiration to post as literally any of my characters, including Alkiera (which is weird considering Alkiera has been my favourite character ever since I created her).
I'm starting up my freshman year of college in about three weeks, so I don't know if I can jump on the ball and return. Heck, even after I get situated, I still don't know if I can muster up inspiration for this site. Perhaps if I start new and just have one new character I might consider it, but nevertheless I'll keep checking up on this place because I've been here for such a loooooong time...about five years, holy cow!
I don't know if I'll be able to participate, but I do wish to see this place regain its activity. I miss this place.

ja I can code/skin proboards. I could whip up an example or two of some new skins and post a link.
Wolfbane's War, eh? sounds like fun. at least for those of us who'd survive it :)
I don't really think a new prophecy would be all that hard to come up with though. maybe the first person who is allowed to have the Sight has some vision/dream of the future and relays it to the rest of Transylvania in prophecy? we don't need to fulfill it right away or anything.

Coding/skinning proboards is one of the simplest things in the world.
We actually have a new skin we were working on about a year ago, I can just modify it a bit and install it in a day or two. I'd also like to put up a sidebar to take off some of the bulk in the newsbox, so I'll probably do that too tomorrow.

Wolfbane's War is pretty catchy! I guess what I mean prophecy wise is that it tends to revolve around a specif group of characters and we need something for everyone to enjoy, and it would suck if someone deemed very important just left.
Wow I thought changes would take forever but its great that its happening so fast! Half of me is sad and the other half is excited!

holding out on us, Wolfbane? heh
oh, yeah, I see what you mean about the prophecy now... well, we could just have a really vague "nostradamus" type prophecy, I guess?? you know, just to give people with the Sight something other than individual's questions to prophecize about :P
:D

Hello everybody, Wowzer, it's been a while, hasn't it? Many thanks to Wolfbane for sending out that mass email! So... life update (if anyone cares to know!) I first joined this site upon starting 7th grade, and I'm now going into my Sophomore year of college with a full-time summer job and what is alarmingly approaching a normal life. However, I haven't lost my love of writing, this site is the only reason why my room is decorated entirely in wolves, and I would really hate to see it die. I've said this in the past, and each time I've quickly drifted away again. I think perhaps a reinvention of my character is in order. (Perhaps without the scars, crazy red eyes, and evil alter ego?) Anyway, I'll make every effort to put my paw in the ring and post again. I hope all of us can get things humming again like in the old days. I very much like Grell's idea of honoring all of those wonderful people who inspired us but have since moved on by noting their accomplishments in the hall of fame but removing their names from mod positions on active boards and letting others take their places. This would probably also apply to me, since I haven't been Seer of the Vale in about four years. Spring cleaning, so to speak, would probably do wonders. What does everyone else think of Grell's idea? ((Edit: *gak* I'm an idiot, I didn't notice that there were 2 pages to this... everybody's ideas sound so cool! I'm sure whatever we end up with will be awesome. )

Just my lil opinion on letting in new people to take over packs. Not just anyone should be allowed in to take over, there should definitely be some rules like post count and quality of posts etc. Especially when it comes to List and the Balkar, there is a lot of history and not just anyone can step into those roles. People are gonna still have to prove themselves worthy, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Just a thought...

Hey Mayan! I agree Ayame, that why I think there should be a place where pack members can discuses this type of thing. Obviously someone who has been loyal to the pack for so long and comes back doesn't need to give it so someone that cant even write that joined yesterday. Just because we are taking out some old characters doesn't mean that the old characters that still remain are going to be forgotten. Even if people take temporary control of a land as it begins then can always relinquish the title if someone better suited comes along. I'm sure some old members here might make new characters which could fill some roles as well. Just need to brainstorm about that stuff too! preferably before it re opened

Its neat seeing all the ol' timers coming in! Come back! Come Back! lets get this thing started. On that note, I'll just go ahead and throw my measly two cents in for Koran. Go Koran Pack! lets keep Koran lol. but yeah dude, totally diggin the "wolfbanes war" concept. I mean, if it gets TS up on its feet and rolling again, then lets do it!! I'm down.
Wouldn't it be better if we just had meteor's drop from the sky, and out of them came giant snakes of death and doom that wander around and devour everyone until we have enough to make the site revival? lol we can RP the snakes too!! lol just a joke.

i'm like a disease you really can't get rid of me... so yeah it's Lucivar/Linnaea/BT. I'm totally freaking game for coming back and trying to get this place kick started (i'd post as a guest but i can't so i rejoined... again lol)... HELL I'll make us a new skin and everything if i'm allowed. I'll even fix up coding and what not (i do a lot of graphic design, here's one of my newer skins: leo-lion.proboards.com/index.cgi though i'd oviously use wolves and not silly cute pictures like that)! Anyway, yeah let's get this place going again, I miss it too after the eight years that i've off and on put my heart and soul into things I'd certainly like this place to be around for ages to come. (: on yeah and also... WHERE THE HECK WERE YOU GUYS WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET THIS PLACE GOING LAST TIME?! Why wait till i leave again? ;A;
