WELCOME BACK!

[`HAILZ THE PIXIE*]

HELLOOOOO LOVERS!

Yes, that's right. You heard correctly. We're back, and we're better than ever! A shiny new skin, a shiny new cbox, and hopefully some shiny new members now grace this forum of ours as we bring it back to life. So, since we're back in action, there's a few little things I suppose I should mention.

Let's first off give a lovely welcome back to our two mods, Elise and Emy. Now, with the help of Skye (who may or may not return), we've all been working on this site to make it as pretty as it is now. New codes and such, the pretty new skin. Aren't you glad they stuck around? So this is a big THANK YOUUUU to them for helping me out when I fail miserably at life.

Since it's now summer 2011, all your old characters will still be in the member group you chose when you first joined. Be aware, for students, this means they will be ENTERING the grade they are selected as. So if you choose for your student to be a senior, they will be a senior at the start of the September school year, not ending their high-school experience at the end of June. You can lie a little, say they're still juniors if you want them to be seniors next year. If you're just joining us, then that will apply to you as well.

Speaking of member groups, if you haven't noticed, we have added TEACHERS into the mix. Now, you MUST pm me when you want a teacher. They will be limited and since we can't have ten arts teachers and one math teacher, there will be a claims list up in the near future for teaching spots. There are other things we're in need of, like humans for instance. Make one of them, and I'll love you forever.

We still have Scandalous Scarlett's position open. If you're as talented at insulting people as I can be, and you want to have an impact on the site (secretly, of course) PM Hailz with a sample of your gossip-writing abilities, and we'll see who gets the job as our favourite little chatterbox.

I promise I'm almost done my little rant. It's been a year, can you really blame me? This is possibly the most important thing. There's an activity check up. Go post in it. Now... Actually wait and read the rest of this THEN go post in it. While you're at it, do some advertising and go crazy with it. We have a new affiliate button, and we'll probably have an advertising contest once activity picks up with some shiny prizes. Stay tuned as well, because summer is the hottest season out there, and I'm not just talking about the weather. Look forward to an event or two coming up once we get enough members (which means you better run and advertise if you want to see what we have in store).

Oh, before I go, A PLOT TWIST IS IN ORDER! Soon we'll be working out a twist to add Hunters into the mix. We don't know how yet, but it's coming.

That's about it, my loves. I'm so glad to have you back. I hope you all have fun and if you're new, welcome to Tatum!
