First of all, sorry for the inactivity! It's gonna be awhile but this site will never end completely.
Second, the update! I realized the site was probably not quite ready for users to join. There's a few problems about the roleplay and even the coding of the forum that need to be fixed. The most important changes and fixes are going to be listed here so you're aware.
- THE PLOT TIMELINE
The plot of the last machine's attack was only a year ago! Therefore, it has been pushed back to five years, with no rat alive today having witnessed it. This means, if you have a character whose past/personality/injuries/etc involves witnessing machine, it will have to be changed ASAP.
Also, the plot itself has been hugely modified! Please review it!
- INACTIVE MEMBERS
Since this forum hasn't done anything for months, everyone is inactive! I don't blame you. But to deal with this, here's the plan: These members ( Morri, Pygmy, Lynx, Bugg, and Flick ) will have one month to make the appropriate changes with this update, if needed; else, I will go along and change them for you.
If you come back active and are unhappy with the changes, you can fix it the way you like. (Such as character backstories)
- ACTIVITY CHECKS MIGHT COME INTO PLAY LATER
If we ever get more members and become more active, activity checks -MAY- be added, but don't worry, they aren't yet! The five members listed above are an exception until they check back in with us again.
- FORUM BUGS
I am constantly working to fix them. I'm aware of a few, but please keep me updated by sending me PMs or posting in the Support Board to let me know.
Note that there's a mini-profile redesign in progress, stay tuned!
- ADVERTISING & AFFILIATES
Added and updated the rules!
Also, we have updated our ad, added scrolling affiliates, and basically just "refreshed" the whole advertising part of RTS.
- OFFICIAL RULES & RTS INFORMATION
The rules for Rats That Strike have been re-organized and updated.
- CHARACTER APPLICATIONS
Character applications have been updated!
- CATEGORIES & BOARDS
Adding (and removing) a few of the boards and categories of the Roleplaying section. Made it clearer to understand the layout of the world. No roleplay threads have been deleted.
- NEW LIVING LOCATIONS OUT OF REDWOOD
You're not limited to Redwood anymore! Rodents can come from all over.
- IMAGES
We're working on some new images for things like New Post, the Members icon, emojis, etc. Art takes time, and this is kind of low on our priority list, so be patient with me here please!
- MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES
A small change here or two, a bug fix, all that good happy stuff to hopefully make RTS better but aren't important enough to make a list out of.
= CURRENT FORUM STATUS =
All RP threads , characters, and trackers have been archived; forum is as if it was never open in the past.
All previous character interactions (friendships, past battles, etc.) are lost but can be re-acted again.
All past characters/trackers are safely archived, so if you want a character back, you can copy their info.
Sorry for being so inactive and getting RTS lost in the sad pit of forgotten, unactive roleplay forums. Hopefully we can climb a nice long ladder back to "active" again!
There's still a few little things to get done but for the most part we are open again.
