I know many of you come here to find a writers' forum. We are one, but this will not be visible to you just yet. To protect our material, we only allow members to see and access the subforums in which our writing is stored.

Therefore, do not be discouraged if you can't find anything written just yet!

Cheers

Hi all,

You may remember that the last week has been full of little discussions here and there about enlarging our community. This is probably necessary to keep this place up and running - we need more input, which in essence means more people.

I am aware of the "invitation-only" policy we had back in the beginning, and then, it made sense. But I also believ...

Hi all,

Now, that is quite an achievement, congrats to all of us! (In case you're wondering why I am typing up something that has already been discussed in Off Topic, it is merely because I thought we need a change from the last message about copyrights.)

Hi all,

I really don't like typing this note today, but it seems to be necessary: Content of the writing section has turned up elsewhere on the net, without the authorization of the writer. I will raise security standards to avoid this in future. I do not suspect any member of the LC, but assume it must be one of these ominous guests. Therefore, all writing forums will from now on b...

Hi all,

You may now worship me.
1) I have successfully disabled the ads.
2) Mariah, we can stop our cleaning sessions. I have found this nice thing called "auto-pruning". Off Topic will clean itself out from now on.
3) Also, I am very proud to announce that we have been online for three months now, without a single abuse being registered. Can you recal...

Hi guys,

Major attack of procrastination, so I've started playing around with our forum administration once over. The bad news first: No new smileys this time. Not because I couldn't be bothered, but because all the good ones I could find were definitely not PG-13.

The good news is, you are probably now looking at our brand-new portal, which can give you the most impo...

So. Our write-a-thon is scheduled for February, beginning on the 1st, ending on the 28th, 12pm GMT. Any material handed in after the 28th will not count, and please don't cheat by handing in stuff that you've written before the 1st!

I have created a separate forum in the writing section with a new group. Only members of this group will be able to see, access and use the forum, so w...

Hiya,

Beauty and I have just finished the first major cleanout of the forum - with special focus on "Off Topic", of course - and have archived every topic that had last been updated more than ten days ago. All these threads can be found in the "Archive" section now, so don't worry, we haven't deleted anything.
