Addition to Update for August post

I forgot to mention that with the changes, there have been several boards added in the writing section that are password protected.  These boards are for stories written that are rated above T (Above Teen). See the new rating system in each category to learn more regarding this. 
 
If you are 18 or older, or have parental permission, PM AFG or myself for the password to these boards.

Updates for August

Wow... This is new...
 
As you can see the MSN Space has taken on a new look as everything dealing with MSN Messenger has changed to Windows Live.  I guess it makes sense that MSN Spaces would soon be following in the same direction.  So that makes a few things changing at once around here.  
 
As it was stated on the site, Tomers has begun to undergo several changes as we attempted to become a bit more organized once again.  We thought it might be nice to have a better way to organize the written works being shown on Tomers.  And yes, you will see that Tomers is the official name to the site now.  We have come to realize that our forum has gone in so many directions that it is no longer just a TV based forum.  Skin changes will begin as time permits as well.  Though that may take a bit longer.
 
By now, you have noticed that we no longer have a separate YGO and Zatch Bell category.  They have not disappeared, merely returned to the anime section where they belonged.  The RPG's based on those two animes have gone under the Entertainment category. 
 
We have begun to implement a new warning system that I am wanting to make note of.
 
You all can easily see the rules no matter which page you visit. They are expressly outlined in the Please Read section of this site. If you have not read them yet, I suggest taking a gander at them now.

The policy is simply this: 

1 Warning- no action taken
2 Warnings- 2 day suspension
3 Warnings- 2 WEEK suspension
4 Warnings - 1 MONTH Suspension.
5 Warnings- Account deleted and IP address banned.


Hopefully it should never have to come to this. This is a site where we can have fun.
 
Now there were new rules to be implemented that went along with the new writing sections as well.  Please see that you look in at them and take note:
 
 
 
A new section called "Extended Profiles" Has also been added.  Has there ever been a time since switing to Tomers that you wished you could have a better way to doctor up your own profile? There wasn't a way to do it with the old profiles here so we now have this way.  In the Extended Profile board, you create a thread just for you.  Post your favorites links, anime, movies, music, art (tasteful and not going against forum guidelines), works published somewhere-anywhere online, whatever you wish.  This will also the place for you to plug your own websites in advertising.  If you are not already affiliated with Tomers and wish to, please contact AFG or myself in order to do so.  Otherwise, post the link to any or all of your websites in your own personal thread.  If you post poetry or fics or short stories on Tomer's you can add teh links to those stories in your extended Porfile.  That way if you update a story, just post an updated reply to your extended profile and anyone who has bookmarked your profile will get a notice that you  have updated.  The links in the profile makes it easier to  locate the links to your work, thus making it eaiser to dig around and comment on it ^_^
 
 
Now for random notes, The Spotlight for August is Thriller Girl!
 
And we all know that August brings about one more things we all hate at the end of summer... Getting ready to return to school.  So hopefully you all enjoy the last few weeks of summer vacation before having to get back into the old swing of things.
 
 
As stated, some of the layouts and header pics will be changing here over the course of the next few weeks... or month... so don't freak out on us if you see things "missing" or moved.  The threads will still be around for our enjoyment ^_^
 
With all this said,  I believe I have covered all the current updates for now.  If there is anything more, I will be back here to update once more.
 
Regards,
~Lady Aurora

Updates for June

Admittedly there isn't much to update.  Not a whole lot has been done.  But there is at least one change.  This change regards the Spotlight Member.
 
This month the spot belongs to ccs as you have noticed by now, so feel free to try to drive ccs insane if you wish ^_^
 
Just a small addition to the spotlight member thing

If you are interested in being a spotlight member, please PM the admin and with your request, pick ONE character so we know what kind of avvie to make you for your special month.  It's been something new for us to do, but I have had some good response to it so I was hoping to continue it.  Again, remember, PM the admin with your request to be a spotlight member and include the name of the character and the show the character is from.  Thanks. 
 
There are several spots available and with 80 + members there are plenty of chances for everyone.
 
I will be attempting to add more avvies that have been collected and given permission to use here hopfully mid month, depending on how much time I have.  This month was pretty packed for a month I was hoping to slow down a bit in.  But at least it's productive.
 
Don't forget that Father's Day is June 18th.
 
Have a great Summer!!
 
Regards,
~LadyAurora

Welcome to May...

Not a great deal to report really this month.  There are a few changes here and there but nothing major.
 
Dark Bankotsu is May's Spotlighted Member so don't forget to pop in and pester him with questions to boggle anyone's mind  lol
 
May 14th is Mother's day... just a friendly reminder to remember your mothers this day.
 
Now an advertisment...
 
We here at Tv Tomer' s like to support the efforts and projects of our members.  Anytime we hear of something good happening to someone in our little family we like to help them to advertise it and spread the word.  In this case the member would be Golden Dragon Girl.  And the project is her Law of Purple Webcomic.
  
I have the link to an interesting story I am hoping many if not all of you would check out.
 
She has been working on it for quite a while now and it has really come far...
 
 
The Law of Purple is a webcomic hosted by Comic Genesis and is written and drawn by Jessica Segaard. It updates on weekdays. Most of the time.
 
Basic summary:
 
You know the story of aliens crashing to Earth...
 
Well here's one with a twist.
 
Red, Blue, Green, Whitey were all that was left of the Fayse family of Caligula after Silver- the Ruler of their planet and their cousin- had their family slaughtered. Red took charge, gathered his siblings and fled their home. Their ship suffered a damaged engine, forcing them to Earth where they meet several people they come to trust; and others they learn to regard with caution.
 
Follow them on their jouney as they learn more about their past, present and themselves...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
If you have taken the time to read through it (It's worth it believe me XP ) Feel free to stop by and register here at the Law of Purple Forums If you want to know more about Jessi- you can find her Space here.
 
Ask me or her if you want to know more about the webcomic. Her if you want more details XD!
 
Later!

Maintenance complete

It took a few hours but we have everything mostly completed.  There is a new warning system that is in place now.  You are given a range from 0 -100.  Once you have hit the 100 mark you are officially banned from teh site.  50 lands a temp. disabling of your account for about a week depending on how bad the offense.  We are doubting we should have to make much use of this system.  At least we are hoping not to anyway.
 
Starting today guest can no longer see the boards on the site.  They know they are there but can no longer actually read the posts in them.  The only board guests can see is the Guest registration board.  As we have limited registration set up on the site now, anyone who registers will be placed on a hold until AFG or I approve the membership.  Anyone registering will find it best if they make a post there in the guest board so that we are aware of the pending memberships.  Once things are verified, we wil either approve or deny the membership accordingly.
 
Yes, we have a support board.  It has been there for a while, but don't think it is open to public view.  It is password protected for serious reasons.  People go to this board to seek solace, help, and/or comfort for whatever they are going through.  Sometimes really heavy topics are discussed here as a result so it is not open as a public board.  Only those interested in helping others, or needing the help of others are able to request the passwaord from either AFG or myself.  There are guidelines that MUST be followed and the thread allows you to sign.  Only then can you make use of the Support Board.
 
All these precautions are/were neccesary after the last attack made on the site.  We are hoping now that we are able to create a more safe environment for our members.  If there is ever a problem feel free to contact us.
 
Maintenance mode has been lifted, enjoy!
 
~Lady Aurora Phoenix~

Maintenance Mode

This is just a notice to let members know that TV Tomers is under Maintenance Mode as boards are edited, modified, rearranged, deleted, added, as well as other changes.  A further update will be posted when the site is back in regular operating mode.
 
At this time only staff members will be allowed to sign in in case they services are needed during this change.
 
Thank you for your patience during this time.
 
Regards,

Important announcement

Alright guys, comments have been disabled on this site. I am very sorry I had to do this, but it had to be done. I am so sick and tired of coming on here and seeing nasty comments, and quite frankly, I'm not in the best of moods right now. I am angry.....angry because one of my best friends was hurt because of what was written here. NO ONE...I repeat...NO ONE goes after my friends like that and gets away with it.
 
This site was supposed to be for fun....to be able to express our opinions and feelings for our forum in peace. Unfortunantly, that privilage had to be taken away from us just like the tagboard. I don't know how long comments will be disabled. That will be up to LP. Again, I'm very sorry this had to be done....seems like everything fun we try gets ruined by people like him....
 
Reguards,

Happy Anniversary!!!

That's right guys and gals!!
 
Well.. actually it was like April 4th, but anyway, the month of April marks the 1 year anniversary of TV Tomers being alive. Granted it has slowed some over the year, but still it has been a great success. People still come in to chat and see what's going on as well as keep up with old friends. Many friendships have begun here and we have all kind of become a family.
 
The history... TV Tomers was formed when a small group of us who had met on the old TV Tome began a Cruise RPG for YGO and decided to take it to our own forum. Not long after it was up and running came the announcement that TV Tome had been sold *tear*. AFG and I agreed to invite our friends from the Tome to come over and within a week we jumped from 5 members to almost 60. To date we have 74 active members, 1,001 total topics, 67,625 total posts, 4 global mods, and 17 moderators on our staff who do an awesome job at helping my Co-Admin and myself to keep this forum a place people want to hang out in and meet others in.
 
There are boards for anime, General TV, movies, books, music, fanfiction, graphics, and general chit chat amoung the members. It is something I am glad I was convinced to do. AFG, I have to thank you for being my "Code Queen" Without you I don't know how the site would look at all LOL!
 
I know I for one am hoping it continues to be a fun place even with the slow down. There are still things that can be done in time of course.
 
 for any who stumble across this MSN Space and are curious as to just what is being talked about here feel free to stop in and take a peek:TV Tomers
 
 Come in and join the fun!

Changes

Come June I will have a month with some spare time on my hands.  I am telling you this because Tomers will be undergoing some changes.  New avatars better fitting the new titlr of the site will be added to the avatar choice menu in your profiles.  a couple of skins will be added as well as a few more icon dumps in the avatar/Icon board.
 
I will have the entire month to do whatever is needed to make the site as best as it can be and hopefully we can do some clean up and switches with boards and threads.
 
All details are still being worked out, I just wanted to give you all the heads up that in 2 month Tomers will be going through a new makeover.

April's Spotlight

This month the spotlight is shining on xnerdgrl.  Sorry it was a couple days late getting up on the site.  I had completely forgotten we had gone into another month.  Hope you enjoy your shining glory though ^_^
 
Still using the same banner.... Didn't really have any real ideas for a new one though that might change in the next couple of days I am not exactly sure.  Depends on what I come up with. 
 
Just want to send a shout out to those who celebrate Easter.  Hope you have a good holiday!
 
 
 
Again- if you have an MSN Space or MySpace or a website you would like to advertise here, feel free to comment here with the link and name of the site and it will be added to a link list here on this Space.  Take care all!

Updating again...

Yes, you will notice that there was extreme amount of graphics dumped onto the site today.  I still have a ton more to get up there actually.  Call it trying to clean out my comp.  I had to get them all saved over to photobucket and then posted.  I have collected so many that I just didn't have teh time to get them out.  So I sat down today and took a couple of hours to get them up like they should have been.
 
I may be doing the same thing tomorrow while I have a little extra time.  Not much , but I do have a little spare time coming up.  Hopefully I will have a few up that will strike a few of you.  If not leave me a PM or something so I know what fandoms to be looking under so we can have more to suit what you are looking for.
 
For now you may have noticed that the contests have been cleared.  I just don't have the time or mindset to come up with new ideas.  If there is another member who would like to submit ideas to be used, please feel free to say something.  As far as graphics are concerned:  If you would like to create a banner for the site, please feel free to and PM it to me.  We are always glad to showcase the work of our members.  The banners will be changing every month.  So that will give you an idea of what we are looking for.  Preferrably using the same size as the banner already displayed on the site.
 
We are also still collecting names for members wishing to be Spotlighted  We have enough to take us to June this year, but there is always room for others who are interested.  Just PM me to let me know.
 
Other than that, there hasn't been much else new.  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them either here or in a PM.

Updates...

You may have noticed a very tiny change to the name.  VERY tiny.  We decided to go with just plain TV Tomers for the forum.  It is a name we have always called it anyway so there is not that much to change.  The forum is still the same old place with the smae people, friends, groups, and themes.  The new site banners will go up sometime in the next couple days as I get them all updated with the shortened name.
 
March's spotlighted member is Flamesword47 and he is already well underway in the questions giving him.  He has been looking forward to this so everyone can hit him with their best shot.  Try to stump him or shock him speechless lol- just have fun and keep it clean as always lol.
 
Mirage Vision has joined the staff as teh new mod for the Non-fiction and Fanfiction boards.  During this past week, she has shone her dedication to the tasks of a moderator by checking into some issues with a member and a couple of fanfictions that had been posted.  So welcome MV to the staff of TV Tomers.
 
As an add on.  This has been covered on the site, but I feel the need to post it here as well.  Plagerism is a serious crime.  A federal offense and can bring a great deal of trouble to one or more people.  It is also not fair to claim a piece of work as your own when it is very clearly not.  The 2 fics that had been posted were varified as anothers' works and were pulled down.  The authors to both fic were notified that there was a person out there stealing their work and to be on the look out.  I gave my word that the fics were taken done and would remain down and the member that posted them was banned immediately. 
 
We happen to enjoy this forum a great deal and the last thing we need is someone coming in to destroy it.  We won't tolerate things like that.  It is a long standing rule that if you are posting a piece that isn't yours the name of the creator and the link to the original is to be posted.  If possible written permission from the original author/artist is great and handy to have as well just to prove you had permission- but we mostly just require the name and original link of the original creator.
 
There are no more warnings for this kind of problem.  If you are caught claiming something for your own when it isn't you will be banned.  No if's, and's or but's about it. 
 
Consider this your first and last warning...

2月12日

just for the sake of posting...

 
Not much going on. Decisions are still being made on the contests as to whether or not they continue. If someone wants to be in control over that, please contact me and let me know... It would help to have a few more opinions tossing ideas around... Otherwise...
 
~Lady Aurora Phoenix~
2月2日

Just an update...

Not a whole lot to give notice for except by now you have noticed that a Debate Board has been added to the site.  We are hoping to bring out some new discussions and bring a little more life to the site.  We tried contests and the topics had been a bit too broad. 
 
So speaking of which- if anyone has any ideas for topics to write about feel free to PM AFG or myself so we can get something more to your interest. 
 
Icons-  They now have their own board on the site as well.  There are so many icon creators out there that in order to give them the proper credit we found it a better idea to just give them each their own thread in the Icon board for their creations.  More will be added later on in the month as I get them reorganized and uploaded to my hosting site.  With more than 400 at my disposal at the moment that will take quite a bit of time, and since I am the only one who has them, I am the only one to add them lol.  Otherwise I would be grateful for the help.  I do ask that from now on should any of the members find icons they would like to share with the site to PM them to me first with the name of the creator.  If you don't have the creator's name we will not use them.  This is just out of respect for the creator.  Now if you use them specifically for your own use what you do is up to you but if you intend to share them we MUST have the name of the creator.
 
Also, if you intend to use the offered icons anywhere else- be sure you do not HOTLINK any of them.  Save them to YOUR OWN comp and then upload them to your own hosting site such as Photobucket or Imageshack.  Also be sure to give the proper credit.  These people spend a lot of time of their work and it is just respectful that we honor that time spent.
 
February's Spotlighted Member is Invincible Moon.  He has been with us for a while now and is ready for your questions so feel free to stop in and tease his brain for a little while.
 
No votes have been made in the writing contests.  Only 1 was made in the graphic contest. With the voting deadline past and so little interest I doubt a winner will be announced unless people really want to know.  I can extend voting for a few more days if needed.  Otherwise it has become a little on the pointless side.
 
I guess that is all to be said for now.  Remember, anyone with an MSN Space or website they would like to advertise here can leave a comment and let AFG and me know.  We will add it with the next update.

Time to Vote...

Okay guys and gals... not sure how many of you actually check here...  *shrugs*
 
Congratulations to ASJ for winning this months Fanfiction contest by default.  No one entered anything in that contest except for her.
 
There are 2 entries in the graphic contest
Wolfbane2 and GDG  So that one will need a vote to choose.
 
There are 3 entries in the Original fiction.  Wolfbane2, Rollo, and Lia.  That one will also need a vote to determine who places where. 
 
Remember choose 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place pieces when you vote.  Voting ends Feb 1st.  Thanks for your participation...
 
As an update- After the last hacking  done to Marik360's account I received an email from him saying it was no longer worth it to keep rereistering only to have the hacker find him again and delete him.  He says a sad good bye.
 
Marik- We will miss you.  Your graphics were awesome and a great add on to the site.  I hope to see that you put some of them up on your DA account so people can still enjoy them at least.  Take care and good luck.

Hacker alert

ATTENTION MEMBERS!!!!

AFTER SEEING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO MARIK360 A SUGGESTION HAS BEEN MADE.

TO SAFE GUARD YOUR ACCOUNTS IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU ALL GUARD YOUR PASSWORDS. CHANGE THEM PERIODICALLY TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR THEM TO BE FOUND OUT. I KNOW THAT MYSELF, I WILL BE CHANGING MINE PERIODICALLY EVERY FEW DAYS. IT IS A PAIN, BUT IT IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR ACCOUNTS SAFE FROM THE HACKER.

AGAIN- THIS ISN'T MANDATORY, BUT FOR THE STAFF ESPECIALLY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS REGULARLY AND MAKE A NOTE OF THEM SOMEWHERE AT HOME OFF THE COMPUTER.

This is the best we can do at this time- I am sorry for the inconveince of it all, but we must be safe...

Change in contest... Birthday

This is just a reminder that the contests for Januray are still open.  Again we have not really received many entries.  None for the banner one and I believe 2 for the original fiction contests...  I am rethinking how to work the contests...  Instead of making them monthly, perhaps making them bi-monthly.
 
With that said the contests changes as stated.
 
The writing and banner contests are going to be holding a more romantic tone.  Yup that is right.  It iw going to be fitting with the Valentine's theme of February.  The 2 in the Original fiction contest will still be counted so they will have a chance even though they are fitting the original New Year theme of January.   The entry due date will be January 28th.  Voting will begin the next day on the 29th and run for the next week.
 
Everything else about the contests will remain the same as far as requirements on banner sizes and length of the fictions. 
 
To the people who have already posted entries- to be fair you can enter a second entry fitting the new theme.  Both that entry and the one for January's contest can and will be judged in the same contest. 
 
The banner one- Just have to have something .. I don't know- romantic looking on it maybe?  It doesn't have to have Happy Valentine's Day on it but we would like to have one for that particular Day if anyone wishes to make one on the side. 
 
I think that covers the change made to the contests.
 
On a final note. 
 
Happy Birthday AFG!!!!
Hope you have a good one!!!

Announcements...

This is late going up here in the space, but I thought a more official announcement needed to be posted here in regards to our new Global Mods.
 
It was a very long and hard decision.  There are so many people that are worthy of the spot, but in the end we went with Thriller Girl and DiZ.  Both have shown that they can handle large tasks and can be counted on.  They kept their cool when things were getting warm and though they like to have fun- they try to keep it within the scope of the rules. 
 
Like I said- many follow these same guidelines, which is why it was so hard.  Either way... 
 
Congratulations to Thriller and DiZ.  Just let us know if you need anything or have any questions.
 
The contest is underway.  There are 10 more days until the dead line to have all contest entries in.  So far that is only one entry in the Original Fiction contest.  Hopefully we can see a little more as the dead line approaches.
 
I have received several PM's in regards to mod positions...  Mod positions as well as any other position are filled and we are not looking for replacements at this time.  Everyone on the staff is capable of maintaining their position and keeping order with it.  Should a position open up then an announcement will be posted.  however, there is none at this time.  Thank you.
 
~Lady Aurora Phoenix~
12月31日

WELCOME BACK, BLUE !!

Yes we are very happy to announce that Blue has returned to us ^_^.  As promised during her absence, she has been restored to the staff and has rejoined CM as mod over the general anime board.  Welcome back Blue!!  We have missed you!
 
As mentioned on the site- AFG, DR, RT, and I have made our decision on the 2 Global Mods we were looking for.  It was a long and hard decision to make as there are several who are very good candidates for the position. 
 
Th 2 have been contacted and they have agreed to accept the position. 
 
This announcement will be elaborated on more on January 1st.  No one is to ask who the new GM's are- the answer will not be given till my announcement on the 1st.  I hope everyone will be kind about this and I hope not to have my inbox flooded with "why not me" PM's.  Like I said- the deicision was tough as there are o many worthy people...
 
The Spotlighted Member for January will be announced today as I may be just a bit too busy tonight with company being over to get it later.  So Chilly will have to share one day as Spotlight Member lol.
 
Congratulations.. and AFG?  I hope you are ready to face the firing squad *smirk*

New Contest announced- saying goodbye

Yes- the new contest was announced this morning.  For the writing contests, it is the topic of New Year's.  What goes on for characters at New Year's I feel could be interesting to see. 
 
As for the banners...
Looking for anything dealing with staying warm during the cold winter...
 
Contest entries will be due on January 15th, 2006
 
And something new that is being done to the banners- ALL of them- not just the winners...  Will be featured here in the contest banner photo album.  So now everyone's work can be where everyone can see them.
 
We have lost yet another member in the past month.  Elven-Wolf Trinity who was a member on the Contest Award creator team and the past winner in the graphic contests has left us.  She says it was just a choice she felt she had to make.  We will miss her but her icons will still be offered there in her own folder in the avatar thread.  I will see to it ^_^.
 
Because of this- unless Marik 360 has a lot of time on his hands (and I am doubting that is so) We are probably no longer going to offer the award banners.  Unless someone else wishes to attempt to help with that.  The only real reward is getting them advertised in the information box on the site.  Thank you all for your participation and I hope that you all continue to do so. 
 
2 new Global Mods are still being looked at at this time as one that was offered the position graciously declined.  More news on that will be given when we know more.
 
Again the offer is being made- if you would like your blog or website advertised here as well- please leave a comment with the link and the name and it will be posted up.
 
Our affliate list will most likely be added here as well eventually- depending on when I have the time to do this.  Thanks! 
Warmest Regards,
~Lady Aurora Phoenix ~
