Explanations as well as other things are in order

[FaPingMulan]

Alright guys so much to talk about here

First off my apologizes for not being on this forum all the time like I used to be I still try to be on here at least once every day but I sometimes don't end up getting around to do it. College has become very time consuming and a bit stressful for me at the moment. I have also still been working on getting my drawings all colored on Deviantart as some of you may have also noticed, I still have a bit to go but my hope is to get it all done by January so I can start on all new drawings lol.

Second I understand there has been a lack of activity from members here and I am not pointing fingers at anyone or blaming anyone either however I do ask as soon as you get the time please come back and start posting again even if it is a tiny post in the games section or send me an email explaining what's going on please.

Third starting sometime in January this forum is going to be getting an all new makeover meaning new avatars will be added, new skin choices featuring characters will become available, and custom signatures will become available as well hopefully this will make the forum look much more interesting and attracting to the eye so we can get more active members here lol.

And lastly I ask that members try to start advertising this site again as I would really hate to see it go dead.

I got your email when I saw this message. And is that why you close down the requests back at DA? I was gonna ask why, but I figure out that it would have to do something with the old drawings being colored in, I can see how that would take a long time to finish cause it is a lot to go through.

I would just like to say that I will agree with this message thread here that you are saying Katie because I am getting sick of the members leaving us like this, and I'm already worry what has happened with our special members too like Hexxus-Leveler, Dusk Nightshade, Arrevantthas, Nightworm and even Suze.

They used to be such a great cast of wonderful and colorful characters, and I would hate to just see me, FaPingMulan and HeXXus left here because two admins and a global mod running a big board like Ferngully Getaway is not enough and this is the third time this year that I've seen this board failing and I don't want it to be dying out for reals permantly.

I work very hard on this place with Katie's help because Ferngully is what I thought we would need to connect with people that grew up watching this classic fairytale. It was what we needed and what I needed to escape the problems that cause for us into the real life and re-going back into our childhood days. We even work out for setting up it's special day for it's 17 birthday a while back in April too!

So please....we're not asking for very much, we just want to see everyone coming back to us just like the good old times that we had since this place open up in February.

There's more to a proboard than just fanarts, roleplays and games. It's about being with the ones that you care because in my point of views, everyone is family; each and every one of us.

[FaPingMulan]

Yeah I will start taking requests up again once I finish all that needs to be colored lol.
And I think you also brought up some very good points Nadine about the forum here and what it really means to fans and being able to talk with other fans which seem so hard to find now these days.

[HeXXus]

lol, well like I told you guys in the one group convo- finals are really rough downtown at this school. Especially since I have almost 4 hours of commuting per day. I've been swamped with finals lately, and they're only starting to die down. I'll post when I can, but the schoolwork has to come first. D:

But I am excited to hear there will be new skins and avatars and stuff.

And yes, hopefully some of the other members will come back at some point. Maybe that will entice them?

[FaPingMulan]

I sure hope it will and I understand completely Shauni, finals can be very stressful and very time consuming and I am glad you took the time to post what was going on

[nightworm]

Hey, guys! I'm sorry if I got any of you worried about me, but I'm back, and I will start trying to post more often now. I've just been struggling with writer's block lately and it's got me kind of stressed out so that's distracting me. Again, I'm sorry, and I'll try to make it up to you guys somehow. Who knows, maybe I could write another Ferngully fic for the board if I ever get past this writer's block! I hope I can, but I am back, and I am exited about the board getting a new look. Yay!

[Nilla Joy]

YES! Nightworm speaks from beyond the grave of the dead! Welcome back old friend! I was hoping that you would return. Good luck trying to get past the writer's block thing. I know that it's not that easy, but it will pass somehow one way or another.

[nightworm]

Aw, thanks, Nilla Joy! I really needed that.

[FaPingMulan]

Welcome back Nightworm, so good to see you here again *hugs*

[HeXXus]

Yush, welcome back.
