First off let me say you have a very amazing forum here. The tutorial for newbies was very put together. So whomever came up with that great job! A little bit about myself. I was an admin on another forum but took a step back and now im super mod/global mod. My focus area is events and how forum wide events. I run a RPG called GCEA which takes up a good deal of time. For fun I work on my unsuccesful comic Gible Bites. I found this site because one of your recruiters sent me a message on deviantart. He or she sweet talked me into checking out your forum. Whomever that was thanks for the kind words about my drawings. In my experience the first couple of week will determine if someone sticks around. Its all about making a connection with the forum. Ill try to see where I can jump in. I look forward to meeting you all. If anyone can tell me where I could post my comic that would be cool
Hey, welcome in! I'm really glad you're with us. Gible is actually one of my all time favourite Pokémon so that sounds really cute! If you wanna share your comic, definitely check out our Portfolio section. I really hope you'll stick around!
Oh dear, someone seduced you after sliding into your DMs? I'm so sorry. As for the tutorial, are you talking about Guidance of Valor? Sanctuary put that together, and I helped break bug-test it. But it's pretty much all his creation, so do thank him for it. He (and I suppose I, by extension) spent a lot of time on that, so it's good to hear that someone really appreciates that. For the connection, you have the right idea - the first thing we try to do is make connections with the new members, make them feel welcome, get them introduced to people, that sort of thing. I'm curious, what does GCEA for, and what kind of RPG is it? It seems like it's a sort of large-scale project, and I'm curious to know how much you've worked on it.
Ill make sure to let him know. Props to you to. As an Admin I remember testing new things out was kind of a pain. I could see how a lot of new members who arent familiar with forums or different style links could use it. One of my biggest things on my forum has been making connections right away. If you cant get people engaged you lose them. Honestly its gotta be a team effort. The whole it takes a village to raise a child kind of thing. GCEA is Gotta Catch Em All. Not super original. It is also a large scale RPG. It has its own subforum, on the surface its a basic story telling game. Then all the other stuff gets mixed in. Im not sure if URPG operates here but if they do Its kind of a smaller version of that. Ive been working on it for 5 years. So the systems now are much smoother than they were when we started it in 2012.
Welcome aboard, I'm glad you like it here and I agree, out of all the forums I have been on Lake Vaor is pretty much the best of them. Hope to see you stick around.
Wow, you seem busy online. I'm an admin on another Pokémon forum but that's all right now, really. Running an RPG sounds super awesome and it's pretty clear you're keeping yourself well occupied in your free time. =o Welcome Shadow. ^^ If you continue to post around I'm sure you'll feel that spark and (hopefully) want to keep checking back. This place is really different from other Pokémon communities in that it has knowledgeable developers as well as dedicated staff overall. Looking forward to your participation!
