Due to the seriousness of the first part of this message, I'm going to ask that each of you reply to this BEFORE continuing to post. I don't want to go through this everrr again. It was scary enough >_<
Last night, I signed in as JJ to post a new rule as well as announcements concerning account activity, and realized that I had a PM. When I checked it, I was stunned and to be honest, pretty scared. Rather than go into a big explanation, I'm just going to show you guys what it said, and then explain how I dealt with it.

As a result, you may notice that the mature warnings in some of the threads have been removed. You may also notice that some threads have been deleted altogether. Please do not react angrily, I really didn't have a choice. It gave me 48 hours, and it was sent on the 25th. I was lucky to have read it and acted in time. Even a couple of threads that I was in and was enjoying had to go. I am sad to do so, but I don't want this site getting shut down. You will also notice that the mature au board is deleted, and the rule that the pm quoted is no longer there. If you would to know what you can do to prevent this from happening again, please IM me ♥
All right, now that nasty part is over lol. Now on to what I initially came on here to do
A couple of months ago, a new rule was put into place that was meant to motivate people to get fifty posts on characters who didn't have them. While some have done so, and I thank you for it, others have not. There are a large amount of characters with few posts, even some with zero posts.
Now, some people went on a hiatus from this site and even deleted some characters and are just now re-making them. I know who you are, this does not apply to you.
On May 10th, I will be searching the members list and looking at the number of posts everyone has. Every character 30 days old or older with less than 10 posts will be deleted. Children are to have five. This must be in-character[/b]. If I see that you posted 10 times in plots and OOC, I will deduct those from your total number of posts and the character will still get deleted. Don't kid yourself, it doesn't count. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Due to the high volume of child characters with zero posts, effective immediately no children are under the age of 8 are allowed to be made. Now, if you already have a character that is that young, or the character has been made before and will be remade, that is ok. But no NEW ones can be made.
You will also notice that in order to create a new account, you have to get approved by a staff member. Be forewarned that unless you are currently re-making accounts because you returned from a hiatus, you will not[/u][/b] be given approval, unless you have excellent activity, NO zero posts, and the character application has been filled out.
Again, because of the Proboards warning, in order to continue posting, you must reply to this. I will be deleting any replies if the player hasn't read this and replied
