For tomorrow's activity a few people have requested that we do the 'Create An Anime Hair Style Night' again.

Death of the Forum?

JimJam — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:33:10 GMT

Is this the end of the Forum as we know it?

I look down the "Updated" section on the right of the home page, and it all says either yesterday, or a week or so (sometimes more) was the last time someone posted.

I'm just wondering if the Forum's about to hit a death-spiral?

Forum Glitch

It seems that all sections of the forum have merged into one. It should be a glitch at Forumotion's end. If not, I will sort it out later.

Also, there was the sort of good old fashioned school type fundraiser that we could do on a monday (in club time) and invite people along to. You know the types, games/raffles ...

Gyaam RP Is Now Down!

RyuOni — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:09:11 GMT

The Gyaam RP forum is now up! Just to answer a question which will probably be asked a fair bit; "Why isn't the RP on this forum?" BECAUSE If it was then people's counters will go through the roof and also this forum would've grown so big it would've complicated a lot of thing (when you take a look at the boards on the GyaamRP forum you'll see why). So yes, the RP is up. The basic idea is for people to make their character be as normal as possible BUT they have one thing; be ...
