Not really a hello.; just a change.

So, as most of you have probably heard by now, Feline has officially stepped down into a half-retirement, and most of the site details are now - as horrible as this may sound - in my hands. And with a change in person and personality, comes a change in the way the site works. A few of the things that will be changed soon, you've heard talk of for some time. Some of them, maybe you haven't.

But, first - for those of you who don't really know me, here's just a little overview of who I am (Roxy, you best be vouching for me): I'm sixteen years old, a soon-to-be senior in high school, a writer, a pretty cool listener, and, with a tad of ego, not an all-around bad guy. And at any time, if you needed to get in contact with me over the Internet just to chat or if there's a problem with the site, I'm generally around.

Like I said, though. Things change. And a few of the new changes happening pretty soon are what I feel is necessary for to stop all the spammers from registering, and to help keep this site afloat. Starting next week - May 26th - the application and registering system will be moved to administration validated - which is what some of you have been calling for for quite a while. All this means is that in order to gain full access to the site, new members must register, then apply, and finally be approved directly by an administrator - meaning no more spammers and no more 'lol celebrity sex wat' topics.

Also, I'm taking some of our decisions directly to the members of TUL now. Like, about that site-sponsored roleplay, or possibly the 'karma' system mentioned in a now-forgotten and dusty feedback topic.

So, like I said - things are new, and things are changing. I hope we can work through our own troubled times right now, and maybe keep this site alive. Maybe keep Feline's hard work alive, and not put it to waste. Cheers - and I'll see you around.

Aw. You're going to get rid of the spammers?

It's so funny to watch though. :(

Yeah, celebrity porn's hilarious. x.x
Coffmuffin was kind of amusing though, to a degree.

Good luck, Locke. Cheers.

I like change.

It's good to see that members suggestions are being taken into account. It's refreshing.

And to deal with Coffmuffin, don't treat them like a 'spammer', treat them like another member and interest will be lost because they're not getting the reaction. That's the best way to deal with that kind of thing.
But some people can't bite their tongue. Myself included for awhile there.


I should go back to sleep now.

:O Locke is not raepist. After all, L isn't here anymore, right?

@_@ Aymayzing! Karma made it! I guess I have good ideas after all.

I am curious though, raEp? I haven't really had much of an opportunity to talk to you, Locke (Then again, neither have I spoken to Feline). To me this change has about the look of a heart beat monitor on a corpse. I mean, if the layout turned orange, white, and blue, we'd have a pulse (given the pulse of a heart about to explode from three or so stackers and an XXL Monster).

More to the point -
LIVEN IT UP BOSS MAN!





Along the livening part-
I do think we could use a bit more of an energetic look, though. Along the lines of the current scheme -- yes the not-brightness part, definitely. I dunno, I think the blue really tires me though.

Like that red splash on the logo! Just something out there that keeps it from being dull.



Annnnnnd, totally didn't mean to throw that in there, just came to mind. I really don't feel like backspacing or deleting, so you're stuck with it. The color scheme thing, I mean.

o deer gawd, i do not want a brighter layout.
i like this colour; it's not too dark or too light.
it hurts my eyes when it's bright.

Still, blue is really depressing.

I don't mind the blue, I just really don't want bright colours or, you know, pinks. Green or blue or grey works. Usually. -shrug-
The choices are limited. But this layout is fine as it is.

I don't mind the blue either.
But I think something different, if not something brighter, would be fine.
