FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT **STUFF ON NEW ADMINZ** -8/19

Over the past week or two Avatar Portal has seem some hectic events. The demotion of a number of old Admins, the torture of the no vote showing Admin poll, and then the creation of some new Admins from all this mess. There has been controversy, hearts broken, and feelings hurt. So hopefully this post can help address all that.....

On Old Admin Demotion:

Some old Admins were in fact demoted. They were:

The elementals (Sam, Foxdemon, beastie)
airdrake
CharcoalRav3n
evilboy
haloMaster
zukomyprince
zutaraangdelta (ztad) - *On her own

They were demoted, or demoted themselves, because they weren't active for months and sometimes years on end, and there was little chance they would be able to be active and serve the forum again. So after much talk, they were in fact demoted back to members. (And I'm yet to have to told ZMP ^_^', I'll be doing that -after- I leave her place ;D). This is not meant to worry members; this was not done out of power grabbing or spite or to send a message, it was done so people on the forum while know exactly who to go to with a problem so that it might be addressed before year's end.

On New Admin Selection:

To those who don't know already, this is the new set of Dai Li to enter Lake Laogai's Lair:

Tev
The One Half
Amy/Airwalker/Snow Ookami
Kumani

To us, they represented the best of the applicant pool when it came to being an Admin. We felt they would be the most mature, most helping, and the Admin poll showed they would be liked as Admin by enough people to influence our decision.

To those who didn't make it:

Sorry, better luck next time. This time there happened to be not only a lot of applicants, but a lot of good applicants. The decision to make these 4 people Admin was tough. If you wish to know why specifically you were not Admin, then PM myself or SOTS. We will be glad to try and explain why you weren't selected this time. Cause in all reality, many people turned down were great people and we would love to see them be Admins, but sometimes all they needed was a bit more time. Next Admin cycle, I'd be willing to bet you'll be seeing a lot who didn't make it this time make it next time.

Well, that's what I have to say on all that. And I'm most/all Admins would agree with me on it. Congratulations to those who made Admin, and don't be discouraged those who didn't make it, there will no doubt be opportunities in the future for Helper/Mod/Admin positions. I can guarantee it......

Avatar Portal Role Playing Game! Episode Reviews too! - 8/5

An idea by member Roxas has picked up steam and become a full-out forum event: The Avatar Portal RPG! It will involve the "Empire" forces of myself, SOTS, and any others who wish to join us squaring off against the "Rebel" forces of Hajtom. It will the Empire's goal to conquer the Rebels with the Rebels trying to take down the Empire. It's Avatar Portal meets Avatar meets Star Wars! If epic had an RPG form, it would be this event.

Long Time Since Update: 100,000 views!, Site Format Change Soon, New Affiliates Added - 8/3

Yea there's a lot going on very slowly. Which really means there's not much happening. I'll have limited internet for the next few days, which will keep me from some things. I'm also home from doing work at college, so I'm trying to hang out with friends as much as possible while also learning Japanese for my study abroad in a month. Oh and I'll have work soon too. So hopfully (cross your fingers) I should be able to do all that I need to do for the site by the end of August for your Avataring pleasure. SOTS and Gotag will be doing all they can as well so we can have the site completely up and running ASAP. I sound like a broken record with that line but hey we're doing all we can when we can. That and I need to fix some episodes. Again, in due time.

WE HIT 100,000 VIEWS THIS MONTH! YAY! Thanks to everyone who visited the site to show your support for our site and your love of Avatar. Don't worry, we plan to be here FOREVER. Literally.

Kumani is still hard at work with a new site format, so do expect to see it soon along with more sections coming to completion!

And I went and updated the affiliates area with a couple other sites, do check them out!
