Well. This is not an easy thing to say, but after a long discussion, Kalma and I reached the decision that currently she does not have the time necessary to manage LoF as an administrator. It’s a very unfortunate thing and was not an easily reached decision. However, Kalma will still help in managing the site as a moderator. My new co-admin is now Lhyriad. Please treat both with the proper respect that they each very much deserve.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, we have very recently lost a few members who were playing important characters that led lands. Solutions have been found and the players who have volunteered to play new land leaders are all currently doing their best to get things going quickly and effectively. Mirrix will be taking Quietus, Lhyriad will be taking Terra, and Lunaria will be taking Aqua.
I have just updated the LoF politics under the “About” section on the main page. If you are new here or just need a refresher, please take a look to better understand the current political situation between the lands.
Also, I added a new rule under general rules, simply asking that everyone remembers to subscribe to the main WordPress page of the site so that you’ll automatically receive email notifications when we post updates.
Thank you all for your patience and feel free to ask questions.

As some of you may notice, it takes a lot to run this site. We have to read all of the posts, uphold the rules, try and keep the site going in a forward direction, update the character list and delete members when necessary – it’s a hard job to do, especially for two people who have a lot going on in their real lives. Oxy is a full-time student who works; I may not be a student, but I work 40 hours a week at a rather physically exhausting job, things that leave both of us with not quite as much time as we’d like to do all our Admin duties and still post. Given this, we decided that it was time to promote one of our members to the status of moderator. After some discussion, we chose the best person to do this job.
That person is Lhyriad.
This decision was not reached easily – mostly because we like to think we can handle All the Things – but we both knew we wanted it to be Lhyriad, as she is an intelligent, fair-minded person we trust to be able to handle the jobs we’d give her. Though she hasn’t been on this site for as long as some, she has proven herself to be a great help and resource, often pointing out things that we’ve missed that need to be fixed.
Luckily, she agreed to do it! So now Lhyriad is a full-blown Moderator on this lovely little site of ours, and I’m sure you’ll all graciously accept her in her new job.

Oxy and I have decided that, given just how many issues we’ve been having with the domain name recently, we’re going to return LOF to its old invisionfree address. Too many people were finding it difficult to get on this home page first, and now the same issues are cropping up with the forums themselves, and that is definitely bad. After all, how are all you lovely people going to post if you can’t get on the forums? So! I have reset the primary domain to be the invisionfree one, which means you all should now be accessing the forums using the following URL:
http://z10.invisionfree.com/LandsofFlame/index.php?
Also, if everyone could go through and double-check to make sure all the links various pages on the forums go to the invisionfree domain, that would be great. I think I got them all, but I could have missed one or linked two to the same place (like accidentally made it so the fire and water lands both direct you to the fire lands). If anyone finds any problems, just message me and I’ll get it fixed.
Hopefully this solves the problem. If not… well, I really don’t know what to do.

An addendum has been added, yet again, to stealing rules. Please have a look at them. Thank you!
