After surveying the state of things, I've noticed that activity, though maintained very very well by our loyal members like Sadae, Faust and Josephine, it could be better considering how many members we have. So, I'm requesting a bit of effort on the part of my fellow members. Anything you can think to do to help Hellion Reign leap from its feet, please do it. Not so much advertising (though you can do a little on a few sites you're a part of) but stuff like character plots, posting a lot, images and artwork or, best of all, anything regarding the animated movie promo. Anything like that, please, let's get it in gear.
But more important than that, I've decided that Hellion Reign's current appearance is... not bad, but it could be better. Skins, smilies, logos and banners, mini-banners and fonts and so on. Any sort of appearance specs you guys can help out with, I'm all ears. Tell me what you think of all this, what kind of skins you'd like to see for this site, the color schemes. This is more of a site-wide discussion than an announcement...
I'm doing my part by quitting a lot of my other extraneous rps so that, even though I'm being hounded by colleges and portfolio freaks, I'll still have time to come on here and get back into posting. So, if you've got some good ideas, now is the time to tell me.
And again, I'd like to thank the people who managed to keep us going, keep us alive, despite the disappearance of almost every single staff member. I bow to you...

The process has begun and new skin has been added, along with a forum resize, some brackets around the board titles, a pop-up music player at the top of the screen, somethings to go with the quick reply, category splitters and a new info table.
More renovations to come. Please, tell me what you think, what you want or any suggestions you may have. ^^

Love the new skin River, it looks awsome. How about you make another skin with a blood theme or maybe one with a lab theme(not completely sure how it could look), but they'd go with some of the themes of this proboard.
Maybe some art contests(ART is not limited to visual arts people, poetry and prose is one too) to get memmbers alittle more active. That's all I got for now.

An art contest you say? That's not a bad idea... not a bad idea at all. We do need to get some serious work done on our animated promo thing and an art contest might get people inspired.
As for the skin stuff, I was trying to stay away from black and red but upon thinking a bit more, I have an idea that just might work. X3 *scampers off like a skin-making slave*

Oh and on the Promo thing, I think I'll be able to sketch up so stuff for Sadae and Scarr since they are pretty high-ranking(especially Scarr), might be able to do it tonight.

Yes, that's good. ^^ That's pretty much the only thing hindering production aside from over all member activity is the lack of character model sheets. I still have to finish River's... >.>

Long time no see River! First off, I love the new skin it brings out Faust's hotness. Second I like the Idea of a art contest as well. Sounds fun. Speaking of which I need to finish the design for the twins (Jose's pups)

Good to hear it Faust. ^^ It has been a long time eh? X3
Though I have a question for everyone: can anyone use the music player thing at the top of the page? Does it work for you guys?
It doesn't work for me but I already knew that was going to happen. My computer doesn't have the plug-ins needed to do any basic internet stuff, including playing anything... but I wanted to make sure it works for other peoples.

Hmm... Okay, well at least I know it works. ^^ Perhaps you are in need of the plug-ins as well Faust... or does it say something different for you?

Its not telling me I need a plug-in but when I chose the song it gives me a small blank square for some reason?

Okay guys, try the music player again... Specifically, try playing Distrubed- Liberate. Tell me if you have any success...

Since I'm going to be modifying the playlist, anyone have any song requests?

Ah, I like this skin much better.
I'm so sorry I've been inactive. -feels really guilty- Though, River, you know me on BBA, couldn't you have asked before changing all of this without, I dunno, asking my opinion first?
You seem to be...ah...there's no other way to put it...taking over a bit?
