"Sparky", whose fanfiction some of you know from FF.net, has just created a Proboards forum devoted to the animated series, "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends". That's who I inquired for, with regards to creating a new board, in the "General Boards" section at the top of this homepage. We saw a real need for a legitimate, intelligent forum for this show, free of spam, in which mods could have control over trolls and trouble-makers. There used to be such a board, at TVTome.com, but that site has been bought out now by TV.com, and the Foster's board there is an unmoderated festering sore of flamers, trolls, spammers, and just plain idiots-a lot like the old Boggs' board on Ezboard was starting to become, only much, much worse, since it was not ONE person causing problems, but many. Most of the people there are there for no other reason than to attack others, or flirt online with them, and post garbage. The new board has just been put up this evening, and of course, will probably undergo some changes. We need members, y'all, so if any of you would like to join us, and can offer some advice on getting started, you can go here: nffostershome.proboards52.com/index.cgiYou will have to create a profile, of course, just like you had to do on this board. I invited Sparky to check us out, since we seem to have a good thing going in terms of layout, and such, though I have no idea as to whether Sparky is even a Randall fan or not. pitbulllady |

Sparky is a massive Randall fan and made about 18938303 attempts Back In the Day to play Randall on several online rp games and was thwarted by trolls and whiney brats everytime and finally got disillusioned and left the fandom entirely. Now isn't that sad?  Okay I had the Foster's board down while I put some rules in place; v1.1 is up now and I must go to bed as I have to get up for work horrendeously early. We'll see if the place blows up by tomorrow night or what.  I'm still not making it terribly public yet. Um, I'm not sure how many mods one of these boards can have; if its only one I might be in trouble as I know I won't make a good mod.  We'll see. ~Sparky |

Well, that's wonderful that you're a Randall fan, too! I really didn't know that-good thing I told you about this board, since we're a pretty sensible bunch here. Sean is trying to start up an RPG himself, and I know little about that sort of thing. On this board, each section can have a different mod; I am a mod of the "Other Pixar Movies" section. That way, all the work doesn't fall on one person. You can designate someone to look after things for you, like "Lizard Girl Buscemi Boggs" does here, so you can ask her about what it takes to appoint someone and what they can actually do. She's in England, though, so there's some time difference(I don't know where you are, but I assume it's in North America).

Well, you can do two different things. Firstly, you can make a member a 'global moderator', so they pretty much have the same powers as you, except that they do not own the rights to the board, so to speak. You can also make a person a moderator of a section, so they can do the same as a global mod but only in one certain section. I can tell you how to do so if you like, though it's pretty straightforward once you click on 'admin' at the top of the screen. ;D Oh, and I'm gonna join that board- I love Foster's!

Wow....my....RPG was actually mentioned.....wow...that's a first....

I'm not sure we have had a formal introduction....but since your working on another board....ah heck...
Welcome Sparky ^_^ Wouldn't be a Lilo and Stitch reference there would it? ^_^

You don't get Cartoon Network, Sean? How about the WB network(Warner Brothers)? I understand that they are going to start showing "Foster's..." on there, too, in syndication. It might be a good way to catch up on it, since I think you'd like the show.

Hey, everyone (on my lunch break...) "Sparky" was Megavolt's nickname, on Darkwing Duck. That's where it's from. 1992, my senior year of high school. And unfortunately I really doubt I have time for any rp anymore. I used to be a real rp fiend but now...I have to work like *all* the time, and the rest of the time I spend with my animals - oh and my brother, I guess I spend time with him too. Oh and pitbulllady, if you're a mod of Other Pixar Movies maybe y'all have seen my Bug's Life stuff. |

I remember Darkwing Duck. Actually a very interesting show really....
Well it's not a PC RPG like your doing....it's a game you can ACTUALLY play....

.....
You know that game you play on PS2 or that Baulders gate game you play....
It's not a dicussion. It's a game you PLAY. You gain experience, follow the story line, play side-quests and mini-games....
Get the picture ^_^

Well...it's not exactly a high-level game....
Ummm....
Ever seen Final Fantasy 1 and 2 or that new one Dawn of Souls at all? If so, they're like that....

OKAY. Now I get it. Yeah lots better, I can handle those. Are you using RPG Maker or any of its incarnations? |

Wow....yeah actually I am....the new PC one....
I've already started but....new additions are hard to come by. I got about three people on board to play characters.
Uhh....If you want to know more...visit the Game section and find the Randall RPG in there somewhere....
I already have descriptions and such and I'd be glad if you want to be a part of it ^_^
