First off, I apologize to both those here, even though no one posted in my abscense, and, more importantly, I am publicly apologizing to God. I have no excuse for my absence. There were other things that caught my interest. This place was not very active and I did not try to change that. There were so many things I wanted to do on here that I never did out of laziness. I am deeply sorry. My relationship with God, as with happens with all Christians, had some ups and downs. Many times I have said "I am truly going to follow God now" and usually I would keep to that, but only for a short time. But this time I'm through letting Satan take over. He is not in charge of my life. Jesus is my Lord, and I AM going to follow him no matter what it costs.
There are many things that I need to work on in my life, because I have become lazy in several things. Many times, I've tried to stop being lazy, but, even when you are praying, you have to try. If you just sit back and expect God to do EVERYTHING without you even trying, it will not happen. This time, I am going to accomplish with the Lord's help!
Now that that's all been said, I will be trying much harder to work on this site, as it could be a huge witnessing opportunity. I want to witness to people both through this forum and through the wristbands, and both things will help advertise the other. So please please please, tell everyone you can about this forum and about the wristbands. The link to the wristbands is on the main page of the forum (the website is pretty much history now.)
In order to help attract new members, both Christian and non-Christian, I want to make the site more attractive. I will be trying get several new boards, activities, images, skins, and codes up. I need any and ALL ideas that you, the members, even any guests reading this (this board/thread can be posted in by guests) may have. By helping this site, you are, potentially, serving God. If all goes well, this could in the future become a large forum that shares the good news of salvation through Jesus and that advertises the wristbands, which could start conversations about the good news of Jesus.
If you can help in any way, whether it be coding, advertising (I'm not sure yet how advertising should be handle here), images, skins, telling your friends, giving us ideas, or just being a fun and friendly member, please let us know. (Except the friendly member part of course. You don't have to let us know on that one. lol) By "us", I mean the administrators. I would, in that case, also proudly like to introduce our newest admin, Gin! Gin has full admin powers, with the exception of powers that only the main account is allowed. So listen to her!
Mods are always needed! While mods are allowed to moderate the whole forum, if you'd like to specialize in a certain area like being a role play mod, debates mod, etc, that is fine too. What is the difference between regular mods and mods for specific areas? Those who mod specific areas have a smaller job, which is ideal for those of you who have less time and energy to spend here. They are, however, only in charge of their area, so they are a lower rank. Global mods (higher ranking mods) and admins will not be picked right away. I want to be certain I can trust someone before I give them a higher ranking. Of course, the staff will be doing lots of praying before making anyone a staff member.
You may ask for a staff position, but that does not mean you will get one. If you would like a staff position, pm me telling me why you think you should have it. We will pick people that we feel are trustworthy. You may be picked to be a staff member even if you never mention wanting to. We will pm you to tell you we would like you to be a staff member here. If for any reason you don't want to be one, we will understand.
Currently, these are the staff positions open on this site:
~*Admins and Mods*~
Admin - Has the most power
Head Mod - Has the second most power and is in charge of training new mods and explaining what their job is
Global Mod - Has the third most power
Mod - Has the fourth most power
Board Mod - Has the lowest amount of power. Moderates a specific board. May moderate more than one board. Don't pm Board Mods for anything regarding a board they are not moderating unless it is urgent.
~*Specialty Mods*~
All mods in this category are the same rank as a Board Mod.
Graphics Mod - They make the majority of the images and skins. They also moderate the images on the site to make sure they are appropriate.
Coding Mod - They do the majority of the coding. They code things on their own and/or help us find codes from places such as Proboards Support. They help make the site look nice.
Media Review - They write the majority of the reviews. Their job is to write lots of reviews on video games, movies, books, tv shows, cds, etc.
I hope you enjoy your stay here, and God bless!
