December 17th - Form added to Registration.
Wondering why I did that Internet Browser poll? Well, here's why!
A form has been added to Registration (if you want to see it, just go to that section and click 'New Thread', it'll pop up). This is to help the new people give us all of the information we need in order to activate their accounts.
That form isn't only for Registration though - this is only a test run to see how well it works. If there are no problems, then the form is going to be added to Reviews and will become the application form you fill out when you apply for a new character. Pretty nifty, eh?
Oh yes, and there's a new Polls subboard in General too, since I noticed a lot of polls have been popping up lately. XD

February 12th - New Management
Hey guys, long time no see! I'm sorry I disappeared for so long and left you guys GMless... the truth is, I've pretty much lost my motivation to be here and keep running this forum. It's been, what, about a year and a half since I was made a GM here? A lot has happened... specifically, drama has happened and people have been hurt, both on my end and yours, and well... it's just not fun anymore. It's not fun for me when things keep happening that make me wonder why I even bother trying anymore, and it's not fun for you when those things happen and put me in a nasty mood. No one likes a cranky GM.
Before you worry though - I'm not leaving the forum. I am, however, promoting a new "manager" GM who will be taking my place so that I can relax and try to enjoy the RPG again. I will still be a GM, just more in the background; the new GM will be in charge of almost everything I've been taking care of (with a few exceptions, such as the glossary, that will still be mine) so you should bring your concerns and needs to her from now on, unless she's absent and I'm here and can help.
So, after a lot of thought and discussion about this with the mods, I've decided there's really only one person who I trust enough with this forum to give that amount of power and responsibility to, and that person is.... the marvelous Evo.
This means that things are probably going to be changing around here. New management means a new way of doing things; Evo already has a lot of good ideas of what she'd like to do to start off, and I'm going to give her freedom do so as she sees fit. Like I said, I'll still be a GM, and I'll be helping her out a lot with figuring things out and doing things and such.
All that said and done... everyone congratulate Evo for her super awesome new promotion...!

February 19th - Small Change In Staff Positions
This is hardly worth an announcement but I figured I'd let you all know anyways in case anyone was interested, plus it does effect at least two of you.
Ayaa, being far more observant that me, noticed that there's both an "English Language" and an "English Literature" class, however there are only "English" teachers. This bothered me so I have now fixed the problem and the list of available staff positions has been updated with a couple of new positions.
***IMPORTANT*** IF YOU PLAY AN ENGLISH TEACHER: You'll notice if you look at the list that the current English teachers are under "English Language" - if you want them switched to "English Literature" please send me a PM and let me know. If I don't hear from you they will stay where they are; if switched they'll still have the same years they currently teach, minus Year 9, which has no English Literature option.
(The difference - English Language is teaching the actual language; English Literature is more like the English class you take if you're in America.)

February 27th - New Section, Departures & Returns
Just a quick note here - due to the incredible amount of people who feel the need to create their very own thread whenever they leave the forum, I've finally given in and made a board just for those threads. It's located underneath Registration on the front page. The Absence Thread has been moved to this section.
So stop filling General up with "leaving" threads....!!

March 11th - New CAPPS Members + New GM
Alright! So the Mods have finished their search for the new members who will help us whip this place into shape by being a part of the Character Applications process, so please help me in congratulating the following people: Akoko, DragonRaidersInc, Sora, Sweets, and Suqua!
To those of you who weren't chosen, please do NOT feel discouraged! We're always looking for help and now that we know that you've shown interest, we'll be taking an extra closer look at your actions around here for the next time we need help! So please continue to be an active part of this community, okay?! ^__^
Along with the promotions which will be handed out to those five, I also want to let you all know that I definitely can't do all this madness by myself, and I knew this right from the beginning. So I decided to promote another person to GM status with me! She's been an awful lot of help during the time that this RPG has been active, and as much as I hate her -- she knows her shit. XD
So from now on, if you've got any questions or problems, don't just come to me, but consider bothering... Feathers!!!
That's all for now, and remember -- we're always keeping an eye out for the members who shine the brightest! So get involved with this RPG and make us proud! <3

September 27th - Small Change to Staff Position Application
Because of an overwhelming amount of students to staff ratio here at Poseidon Academy, the Mods have decided to change the number of posts required to apply for a teaching or staff position from 100 posts to 35 posts. This does not affect applying for a staff position with a special ranking Ace, only for regular Aces or humans. Please remember to keep your adult characters in check; if your character is consistently doing things unbefitting of a teacher, their title may be taken away, or the character may be banned. They can be sly and secretive about what they're doing, but remember that NPCs are always around public places, and if your character is caught doing anything unprofessional -- they face the same consequences that any normal teacher would in real life. Please keep this in mind.
