What We Do
**The purpose of this thread is to inform you what we do here.
**We are NOT ONLY for Warrior Cat sites. We will provide resources for all animal sites, but our main theme is that of Warrior Cats. Keep this in mind.
**We will have a signature of the month feature, where we have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for the best signature of the month.
** Most boards are not seen by guests. This is to make sure graphics and other things on here don't get stolen. We will know who stole something, because they will have been a member on here. A bit of a security system, you might call it.
Graphics & Coding
**Notice: Affiliates, ads, side table images, or anything having to do with forum-wide stuff should be looked for in the Site Stufflets category. This category is for ppersonal graphics and such.
We provide a category for those who would like to request personal graphics such as signatures, avatars, character/ personal post-tables, character/ personal post headers/ footers, thread trackers, journals, character graphics, etc.
This category also provides a directory of pre-made personal graphics like those stated above. A person who would like to use a pre-made graphic would have to either a) PM the person who made the pre-mades in the first place, or b) post a reply in the thread that has the pre-made. WARNING: You will have to host the images yourself, as well as keep the credit on the image.
The Graphics Tutorials board is another feature we have, although it will be hard to keep. The goal I have set for myself is to make a tutorial per month. That may not always keep, but at least it is an attempt. You may request a tutorial if you like. A list of websites that provide tutorials will be given in a thread.
We will also provide, in the board below the tutorials, stocks of all kinds. This includes images, fonts, textures, deviantArts, etc. Stocks are the best thing to use when making a graphic, because then you aren't infringing on any copyright laws. Stick to it laddie's. And yes, they will be free.
The Coding Support we have will be very poorly kept because we aren't the best of the best when it comes to coding. Even we have problems at times. But sometimes, if it is something simple as having to do with tables, simple css styling, or just to have help looking for a code, we are up for that.
Site Stufflets
You may request an entire layout, or just an affiliate button, in the Layout Request board. Anything having to do with the site should be requested for in here. That includes: skins & coding, site graphics (ads/ affiliates, banners, side table images, etc.), templates, etc.
Also, there is a board that holds all pre-mades and templates a site could have. A person who would like to use pre-made site stuff or templates would have to either a) PM the person who made the pre-mades in the first place, or b) post a reply in the thread that has the pre-made. WARNING: You will have to host any images provided yourself, as well as keep the credit on the image.
Another feature provided is the Reviews & Opinions board. You can post a link to your website, write what you desire to be reviewed, then prepare yourself. The reviews you get, is what you'll have asked for UNLESS you consider it destructive criticism.
Ex.) Joe Schmoe posted on 12/21/12: Your site looks absolutely terrible. That banner is ugly. You don't know how to code. Dang! that is one ugly eyesore.
**Note: "The colors are too bright" and anything like that isn't considered "Destructive" or "Constructive," but rather pointing out something that bothers them. "Destructive" criticism is criticism with malicious/ insulting intent.
The Staff Requests board is where you can put in a form showing that you need staff, and what skills you want in a staff member. But know this. You will most likely not know the person who replies with a filled out form, and therefore cannot judge whether or not they are actually honest. Before accepting them as staff, get to know them, and have them earn your trust.
Lookie! You can request for in depth biographies or plots to be written out for you! How nice is that? But know this, you will have to give a fair amount of detail in the form. The person who responds to your request needs something to go by. You will most likely have to ask for changes to be made in what the requestee gives you. Have patience, and work with them. The one thing that the requestee will not do in a biography is the history. That is fully up to you. As well, the requestee will not write the history for a plot, because they are not in your head and don't know everything you are thinking up for the history.
Writing & Roleplay
We will provide guides for writings and roleplays. My goal is to come up with a guide per month at the least. Again, life will get in the way, and at least it's an attempt. The kind of writing guides we will give will be over biographies, roleplaying, rule-making, plot-making, advertising, site-related, etc. If you don't find a guide that quite satisfies you, you may ask in the Ask Us board below it. One thing to remember, if you use the tips the guides give, know that it won't work instantly. You'll have to continually practice before you see actual results. a 100 WPP (Words Per Post) cannot instantly become a 1000 WPP overnight just at the use of a guide.
Are you lonely? You can ask for someone to roleplay with you in the Buddy System board! But, because this board is very easy to abuse, you may not advertise your site, nor ask for anyone to help in staffing a website in here. There are other places for both of those things. This is just simply asking for an RP partner.
And then we have the RP board. It's where you can have a thread and roleplay a little bit. You can use this board for practice on your skills, just for fun, or yeah.
Le Community
This board provides the sense of community. It has a chat board where people can rant, spam, chat, etc. Then there is a game board. Play and create games. And the discussion board, where discussions and debates can be held. And the best part? They are guest friendly as well!
Then there is The Market. Inside The Market is the Bank and the Toy Shop.
The bank provides several features in itself, including a loan system, member-lending system, and etc. Best to look in that board for all the information.
The Toy Shop provides a shop where a person can buy certain privileges and such. Again, best to look in this board for all of the information.
There is a feature that is not in current use at the moment, and that is staff shops. It's where a staff member can have a specialized shop. It is not in use because we are a new site and don't have enough members to keep it going. Once we get off the ground, this feature will be considered.
Ads & Affies Directory
This category provides an advertisement directory where one can submit their ad to be sorted out. Those who Link back though, will have to post their ad's in the Link Back Board. Then, if they want to submit an ad into our directory, they can. Further information will be given in these boards.
The affies board is like all others. Have at it, but follow our rules. Oh, and simple heads up: Banner MUST be 88x31 in size. No bigger, no smaller. We will check, and if it is 1px out of place, we will ask for it to be re-sized. We will not do it for you. If you don't know how, request for a new affie in out Site Layout board mentioned above.
Instead of having Sister Sites, we will have what we call the Premium Site feature. This is for members only. This is where members buy this feature, and it lasts for a month. Their affiliate will be shown the right toggle bar. We will also provide them with a mention on our ad, and a site layout pass.
