Hi everyone!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Because it's Christmas, we've got a few surprises for you that you may enjoy. They'll make life here a bit more interesting or fun. Let us know what you think.
First, the post waiting time from the same IP has been lowered to 45 seconds. That's almost halving it. How about that? Just page loads and reading topics will more likely take more than that now ;)
You may now send 30 PMs per hour, rather than the 20 it was before. This means that you now only have two minutes to think what you can say, rather than three. Can you take that?
Third here, long discussed but not yet implemented, we have decided that, with the current state of Role Play and the less interesting posts seperated away, we might as well enable post counting in the Role Play forum. This will not apply retroactively, but enjoy.
Last, not just today, but in the last years us admins have done a lot to keep the site and forums running, adding new features and content and making the existing stuff better, and with the gifts we've given you today, we considered it appropriate to add a new Admin Appreciation forum that you can use to say thanks, show your gratitude and show us you care in other ways.
Mike will come along with some other presents later today, we're not done yet, so stand by :)
(Small sidenote: Some of these things increase the load on our server. While we've set these to not expect any immediate problems, we reserve the right to undo our presents or adjust them so they don't make the server crash and burn. We find this unlikely at this point, but we want you to stay aware of this, and perhaps adjust your use of these features appropriately)
Smashing! Fantastic, thanks guys, this will be most appreciated by all, I'm sure.
Now I can finally double my post count potential, oh god the excitement ;_;
Happy Christmas ^^
Cheers for this guys, I am liking it alot, and it is always good to receive presents for Christmas
*Hands out presents to the admins*
Merry Christmas, thanks again and like Tim said, I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate this and give thanks.
YOU PEOPLE = WIN
Thank you for all of these things. :P Post counts are fun.
Ooh... Yay! I'm glad to see the Role Play board is being recognised. =]
Well, Happy Christmas... and thanks!
... HURRAH!
Post count counting in RP! <333333333333333333333333 I've been hoping for this in FOREVER!~ THANK YOUUUU! And a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOUUUU!
Muhuwablagyaaaalb- *dissolves into tears of joy and gratitude*
Thank you guy's!
You''re doing a great job!
You're too generous :'D
You do spoil us. But no need to stop. Ohoho.
I feel the urge to role play again now xD
May make the board more popular.
Not that it isn't popular, but with new people as well. Not that the people there already are bad. Just... er, happy christmas!
Thanks guys! =) I'm so glad about the 45 seconds post thing. It was always really annoying having to wait for 75 seconds just to post, so, thanks again. :D

It's closer to like... 14/9 than double. But oh well.
45 is good enough. Thanks, also. Will update the say hello topic in accordance.

Sounds good to me, but I'm probably going to see a lot of post counts skyrocketing.
It seems I'm one of the only people who liked not having a post count in RP. >.>
Either way, these are nice additions and I'm glad I'm able to send more PMs in the hour. There were many a time where I had to wait to send more PMs to Dana and DSoul because we were PMing each other so often. xD
And the 45 seconds seem more manageable for people, since it's only a short wait compared to the 70+ seconds which people thought were too long. Thanks again. ^^
Oh, cool on the role play part.. encouragement to post =3
Which reminds me that I should put some of my ideas to good use..

Webby, you are not alone. Some of the people who want their post count to stay at zero might be annoyed.
I Wanna be A Typhlosion fan :(

Why would you want to stay at zero posts? o_O

Then maybe you should have posted less! :P
45 Seconds... I'm crying with tears of joy... Thankyou, 45 is now the number of the year... Erm, next year then. I predict my post count average will significantly increase.

Ever heard of W.i.t.c.h.e.y.! or some other RPers?
Merry Christmas everyone!
Oh, wait...
Joeno, how long is this post count up in Role Play going to last?
I've already seen post counts skyrocketing, and some people were at only 300 before the post count started to go up in RP, and now they are at over 2000.

I think it might be permanent.
If you don't put too much weight on post count, it's not much of a problem.
People's counts skyrocket because of the huge amount of one-lined posts which are churned out each day, which often leads to massive threads, co-incidentally. There's not too many of those 'Post decent paragraphs of text every time you post' left around right now.

PLC used to be very good for that.
Wait? Does forum games get effected by this too?

I don't think so. It's just Role Play at the moment.
It doesn't. I posted in FG and my post count didn't go up.
