Out of Character

[Elizabeth Connolly]

Yay to Prue for being the first person that isn't an admin to post their application!

[Elizabeth Connolly]

and yay Ella! You guys are both fantastic.

apparently a couple of the image hosting sites are down and will be down for an undetermined amount of time. it's also estimated that a bunch of stuff is going to get deleted/purged. i recommend anyone still using photobucket or tinypic to move all your things over to another image hosting site. i'm currently moving all my personal things over before i begin migrating pieces of the layouts/themes.

support.proboards.com/thread/594665/external-resources has some great options of image hosting sites and other external resources that don't break third party rules like photobucket.

best of luck.

[Kerri Barre]

tinypic appears to be back up for now after being down for about 72 hours. i'd still look into a secondary host if possible.

[Elián Christophe]

That would explain why nothing was loading on a couple of the boards I browse.

[Kerri Barre]

i honestly thought it was my computer at first until i checked twitter.

[Elián Christophe]

Apologies for being very scarce. I know I have quite a few people waiting on me for site-related things and I promise I'll get to those shortly. Not only did I recently start a job that has me working 60+ hours a week, my wedding is in less than 48 hours. I barely have the time to sit down and relax, let alone write up a brief little explanation but I found a small break between all the last-minute planning and I figured I'd let everyone know what I was up to before you all thought I abandoned you.

It's really hard to plan a wedding overseas (Which for those of you who don't know, both my fiance and are from the UK - I'm from northern England and he's from Scotland. We oddly enough met while I was doing an internship in Washington and both decided to stay here for the career and education opportunities) while you currently live in the states. That being said, I'm going to quickly move around the accounts I promised I'd do weeks ago and I'll PM anyone involved with instructions/passwords. I'll also finish Pansy's application and edit Aiden's after my honeymoon.

I'll be back in a week or so and I do have plans to help get the site motivated and moving again. I look forward to sharing wedding photos and what not when I return!

[Elizabeth Connolly]

EEEEEEE!!! Have a great wedding and honeymoon

[Elián Christophe]

I don't have many pictures yet other than those that were taken on people's phones. Still waiting to get some samples back from the photographer. But here's one my dad snagged of the wedding party.



And then here's a link to a picture of just my dress: i67.tinypic.com/2rhuuyt.jpg

[Estelle Séverin]

I love the dress! And the color theme is great for this time of year. It looks like it was beautiful. Congrats!

[Elizabeth Connolly]

You look amazing, congrats Renee

[Kenzie Vasile]

I don't think Sam is coming back. Idk if anyone is interested in Hanna, Erik, or Sara?

[Nymphadora Tonks]

i don't think Ella(?) is coming back either for fleur and percy. i reached out to her a while ago and it didn't seem like she had a lot of interest in coming back. so those are both UFA if anyone is interested as well.

[Thomas Weasley]

I could take Percy? Might as well add to the Weasleys I have lol.

[Rabastan Lestrange]

Okay, so I've been reading a lot of threads in the archive and I have questions.
- What the hell was going on with Chantee early on?
- George is a pervert, but also been through some sexual trauma?
- How was Kerri not already part of the group? Why does she have no other friends?
- Why is everyone dating/Why does everyone end up dating after like one meeting?
- Why is there no Lee or Angelina?

I also have a lot of observations so far.
- Conan and Kerri have a better dynamic than most.
- Spencer was the worst written character.
- I like Ruby a lot and I'm glad her character hasn't changed too much going between ownership over the years.
- I'm pretty sure Liz, Conan, Tristan, and Kerri are in a polyamorous relationship.
- I think Liz is a little bipolar.

Side note: trying to figure out what Black/Prewett was in some threads was confusing and hard to follow.

I'm sure I can add to this soon.

[Elizabeth Connolly]

Oh jeez. So early on was a mess which I've probably mentioned before.

There was a general plan with Chantee that involved Lily being cursed while she was pregnant and such but Spencer kept bitching about our stuff with her so that kinda just got forgotten.


Yes, Erin can explain George

I do not know, just that we started at a point where the group was established and didn't much talk to people outside it. Kerri was antisocial?

Again I don't know lol

No one ever took them up.


Conan and Kerri are pretty awesome

Yes Spencer sucked, dear god you have no idea.

Ruby is awesome and I'm glad we got to keep her

I mean stuff has happened

Yeah, kind of unintentional but she's kinda taken on some of my traits.


Black/Prewett was before we found a use for Kaitlyn/Bella/Nico/Art/Carm/Matt/Adin/Nadia/Meg/Mina. Eventually it split to just Black and just Prewett, then in to individual accounts.

[Kerri Barre]

I definitely cannot explain George, lol. Present me has no idea wtf was going on with past me when it comes to George. When I was actively working on applications, his is like 85% done except a good chunk of his history from this time.

Just pretend it didn't happen or like re-imagine it. I got ideas, I'll DM you lol.

[Kenzie Vasile]

excuse me, what? i guess now i have some reading of old threads to do.
