Minor Announcements will be appended to this topic.

================================================

2012/3/16
Hard limits against signatures has been set. Despite rules against large signatures, too many seem to carry them. Since it's easier to automatically enforce, although forces less flexibility, following changes has been made:
Maximum of 3 images can be inside a signature.
The signature image height may be no greater 400 pixels.
You can have maximum of 5 links in your signature.
You can have maximum of 10 lines in your signature.

This does not mean you are allowed to abuse the current limits to the maximum. Current level of limits are set to allow some flexibility, such as 3 small images instead of 1 large image. Please be considerate when making your signatures. It is an annoyance to others to have a huge signature. While the personal "x" button to hide a member's signature or to hide all members' signature does exist, guests do not. Also, it is a hassle to require such steps.

Failure to follow signature rules will result in signatures being removed. On repeated offenses, their signature privileges will be revoked.

- Some exploits have been patched where unauthorized user could edit certain chapters. Reverts have been made and everything should be back to normal.

It's a good rule.. I don't mind it 'cos some of the signatures are so large, I'd even considered putting the users on my ignore list. Of course, I didn't know about the "x" function.

For pony!!! :D

Miseng is supposedly the Prince of Zahard and thus, a trap. SIU, you've completely outdone yourself this time. :D :D :D

And I'm very sorry, I just rarely accept friend requests these days. I don't really do Facebook friend requests. Maybe next time. :P
------------------
Even though I like TOG, I have no favourite characters. There are only characters I get attached to, for the moment and some traits I adore, just for a while. In the same way, there is no character I hate or dislike. I may get annoyed, angry and so on, for a while.

This is the announcement section. I'll answer in the support section. Please do not spread out a network of posts pointing towards each other, it'll be rather hard to organize that. If something needs to be answered there's always the support section. Thanks.

And I'm closing this.

P.S. I do know that you were meaning no harm posting here Leonardo, but please use the support section next time, okay?

Updated with new name change limits.

Edit: For a limited time (say, a week) I'm offering a one-time name change (at my discretion) to anyone adversely affected by the new name change limits.
