ANNOUNCEMENT 12

[dohtml]<center><div class="appstyle"><br><center><div class="appstyle2">changing things up</div></center><p>

<div style="padding: 0 5 5 5px; text-transform:">

first things first, we're changing the character making rules again (sorry!). we're keeping the post numbers, just changing it. so, as originally made you make two characters initially. after the two characters you have to meet post requirements. for your third character, you must have 30 posts on each account. for your fourth, 40 posts on each account, and so on and so on. understand? this is effective immediately, which leads me to our second point.
<P>
the female ban isn't working. we're going to try something different, but this is a warning: if the ratios get much worse we will be banning females altogether, INCLUDING requests. the ban still applies to original females UNDER 35. that means if you want to make a lady but not take a request she must be at least 35 years of age. we change albr a couple weeks ago to encourage these kind of characters but have yet to see many. this is your chance!
<P>
that said, we are also going to start an initiatives program. if you want to make a male, take someone's male request, or make a character over 35, you get to bypass the post minimum completely. this program is still being fleshed out so there may be the opportunity to have your shipper pinned until the ban is lifted. this applies to everyone and should be taken seriously.
<P>
we hate doing this but something has to be done to even out the ratios better than they are at the moment. there are lots of fabulous requests and older faces that you can use! let's try and make something out of this (:
<P>
that's it for now. with love,<br>
the admins.
