Hello to my beloved KHRPF members! I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I have been neglecting KHRPF and all of you members. As my position of administrator qualifies me to do many tasks here on the forum, I am sorry to say that I haven't been able to take part in the forum for quite some time. Some personal issues in my life have taken hold of me and it seems now that everything is finally coming to a close. Those of you who know me best probably know of the issues that I speak. I have also taken a lot of time to focus on my college career, in which I am happy to report that I earned a 3.7 GPA this semester. I can honestly say that my college GPA has never been so high and that I couldn't be happier!

I'm hoping to spend some time on the forum over the upcoming Christmas holiday. I can see many things that I need to work on and I'm sure that many of you would like to see certain things updated. No matter what I do, KHRPF, I always seem to find my way back to you!

Here's wishing all of you a happy holiday!

OMG! THERE'S FINALLY A NEWS UPDATE! *SPASM*

Hello fellow KHRPF dwellers! As many of you know by now, both mine & Sprow's work schedules have been hectic and we've been offline much more than we'd hoped to be (myself a little more than Sprow, bless her heart). There are a few things worth mentioning in this update, though I'm sure most of you are well aware of them by now.

First things first. You all have recognized by now that we have two new staffers with us: Ouranos & Yellow, both great additions to our staff team. They've been able to help pick up the slack and I'm honored to work with them. They both have great character and are worthy of being with the rest of us numskulls that are on the staff team. Being that we have welcomed both Ouranos and Yellow, I have decided to eliminate the group known as "Hiatus Mods". It was wonderful to have all previous members of our staff team on the forum, but it seems that there is not further place for them. I will always treasure the memories that I've had with each of them, but I feel that it was time to part ways. Each of them are always a welcome member to KHRPF and will always have a special place in my heart.

We have also been hard at work on the Dark Reprisal, however, I'm starting to think that the event was a bit of a bust and we won't be able to finish. Due to a lack of interest by the members on the forum, I'm trying to figure out what exactly can be done to improve the event to make it more accessible for the members and make it as interesting as possible. We have "completed" our time in Atlantis and moved on to India, though only one thread has been made thus far. The goal for the event was to open up a new world during each summer month, but as we are getting now activity during the month of July, I'm thinking it might be best to cancel the event. As always, I'm open to opinions from our community.

As for everything else, I've been looking into updating our forum coding and hopefully changing a few things around. I'm sure you all have been wondering about the Moogle Shop, but that is something that I'm still doing a bit of work on. You guys will definitely be the first to know when that is finished and ready for member activity.

Oh! The Cbox! I almost forgot to write an update about that for all of you guys! Last week, I went to renew our subscription, but the website was having problems validating the identity of my debit card for some reason. I tried every way possible to get the Cbox back up again, but I was unsuccessful. If I can't bring the Cbox back within the next 8 days, I'll try to figure out a different method. This plays seems empty without our Cbox, but for reasons you are all aware of, we can't have a Cbox that is unprotected for our forum.

I hope that this update finds everyone's Wednesday going well.

Hello KHRPF! Now that we're well into June, I figured I should pop in and write a bit of an update. There hasn't been too awful much going on lately for us forum dwellers, but we've definitely kept ourselves busy with the Dark Reprisal. As most of you have done by now, you've completed your sign ups and have been roleplaying in world 1 of the event (Atlantis). There are many activities/missions to partake in here. We're almost half way through our first month of the event. If it's popularity continues to flourish, we may have to push the event well into the fall season, but we'll talk about that when the time comes.

I'm sure that many of you have noticed by now that we are down to three staff members, and one of them has gained a promotion (Sprow!). So, congratulations to Sprow and all of her achievements leading her to make administrator status. For our newly created Hiatus mods, which include Calkachu, Tempest, Lily and Hikari, they are still active members on the forum, we just haven't decided fully whether they should remain on our main staff team. We will let you know our decision for this when the verdicts have been reached. As of now though, everything is up in the air. I do believe that soon, though, I will be looking to bring on maybe one more Moderator. I'm sure you'll all see the staff thread when it comes.

Aside from this, I've been doing a lot of advertising on Proboard's Support, trying to bring in a few new members for the summer months. I may take it upon myself to go around some other neighboring Kingdom Hearts forums and see what I can find as far as affiliations go. We have plenty of room in our affiliate bar, so why not use it? Who knows, maybe we'll bring some potential veterans to our community!

Also, this weekend is father's day weekend and I will be going out of town to celebrate with my dad! I hope you all take the time to recognize your fathers too as I'm sure they deserve it! I know my dad does. Anywho, I will be back into town early next week on Monday or Tuesday. I'm not sure yet what my family has planned. So, keep a look out for me and try not to cause any trouble for Sprow and Sen while I'm gone! ;)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

AWESOME! The Dark Reprisal event is open! Although sign ups are officially closed, members may still contact me in order to get into the event. I will sign you up, but please know your character should be already accepted on the forum if you wish to participate.

To go along with out Dark Reprisal event, I have also incorporated an RPG code onto the forum as well as what is known as an [attack] tag. The attack tag is used in order to throw out random damage percentages at other members in threads. I figured that this is something we could use if perhaps we decide to battle later on in the event. Or who knows, maybe there are some members on the forum who will choose to simply use it for their own purposes. The RPG code in your mini profiles are 100% editable by me, so hopefully we can get something going with that as well.

You should all know that "Ability Power" should be applied towards ability usage. If you would like, you can always contact me in order to get me to change such a thing. This may be a way to keep track of your post cool downs, etc. in roleplays like so many people do. IDK though. These things are just on here for the fun of it as of right now until I decide to use them in the Dark Reprisal.

Everyone should know as well that Red400 has decided to step down as a staff member (once again :( ) and I do believe that he has chosen to take a hiatus from KHRPF. We are all sad to see him go, but if I know Red like I know him, he'll be back! He just can't get enough of us haha. We'll see you soon, Red.

Also, have a happy Memorial Day!

First off, has anyone seen my Zune charger? *facepalm* Ugh.

Any ways, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thursday and to encourage you all to make posts in the new Roleplay Preferences board! I would also like to encourage you all to use the new music player as well!

Aside from that, I hope you're all having a great day and are staying out of trouble!

Hello KHRPF! I've been hard at work on KHRPF the last 2 days! I've been cleaning out boards, redoing board descriptions, editing rules, making skins and doing a bunch of new coding for the forum. Hopefully everything is running smoothly for you guys!

I think it's pretty important at this point to point out that the KHRPF staff and I have come up with a solution to our plagiarism "law". We have decided that at any point if a member needs to be suspended from the forum for plagiarizing, it will only be a 15 day period versus the original 31 days. Hopefully this sits a lot better with everyone than it did before. If there are any comments regarding this, I would love to hear them.

As you may have noticed, I'm working on our info board at the top of the forum. I'm still working out a few kinks to it and trying to get it situated in the best way, so if you have any input on that as well, send me a message! Your opinions matter!

Oh! There is also a new board to mention. Originally suggested by Zannen.™, I thought it would be a good idea to impliment the Roleplay Preferences board. If interested, you will be able to find it in Roleplay Central.

Other than that, Check out the KHRPF Playlist, hosted by Playlist.com! Thank you Cross Roads for all of your hard work putting together songs! I have decided it would be better for all if we simply have a link to a pop out player as some people will be annoyed with constant playing music. This is a great way, though, to get access to some of your favorite KH. Tunes. Enjoy!

For those who are curious, I am still doing work on trying to get the Dark Reprisal event up and running. I'm planning on hosting it all summer, so we have plenty of time. Hell, we're going to need something to keep us busy while we're out of school, right? Please be patient with this process!

Also! Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is coming out tonight! I'm going at midnight and I hope that anyone else who gets to go see it loves it! Have a great day, KHRPF!

Colleen.
