Hello community! I'm a bit new here but I couldn't find a Welcome topic so I had to post this. If anyone would like to show me the ropes, that'd be great. I happen to be on another proboards community with plenty of Warriors fans so I'd be happy to advertise this website over. I also own a website and when completed I will put and link to this on there, and hopefully we can get some activity. Thats all for now!

Hi, Blackpaw! I'd say 'welcome', but there's not much to welcome you to, so let me just give you the rundown on old Silver Warriors.
As I think you can see, this site's pretty darn dead. I hang around mostly to keep it clear of nasty ads and to access my old character bios. There was, at once point, a lovely plot-line full of mystery, mayhem, all-out war, heroic leaders, all kinds of fun drama, but we never got around to really playing it out. It's partly my fault, I think -I foolishly pushed for stronger and stronger 'regulations' (minimum word counts, character name rules, etc.) that I suspect took the fun out of writing here for a lot of people- and it's partly just because playing out the plot depended heavily on characters who were played by a handful of people with less and less free time on their hands. And so we had less and less activity, and finally none. The poor old place has been empty and gathering dust for some five or six years now.
And that's about it. I'm here occasionally, kinda keeping this old site's memory alive for nostalgia's sake, and you are welcome to poke around, read anything you like, and even make up characters and write in the RP boards if you're so inclined. But there's no SW community to join you anymore, I'm afraid. I would offer to write with you, but between a new job and wedding planning, I couldn't devote more than an hour or two each week to writing here.
So welcome, and I'm sorry that we can't offer you what we once could have here at SW.

So welcome, and I'm sorry that we can't offer you what we once could have here at SW. Yes, I gathered that. Then I had better get busy then hadn't I!? I know, so far, three people who would gladly speard the word of this place and join it, although I may find problems with getting advertisement post though the moderation, but if I can get a bunch of people on here I could sign up for Admin/Moderator. The community I speak of is in fact the Lego Message Boards Eternal (legomessage.boards.net), and some of the regulations there can be a little tight. You could speak to the Admins there, and see if they would be happy to support this topic, because many people like the series. You can find me on there known as "Sam" in case. You mean chatting, or writing a story? Well I'll say good luck on both for you, and I hope they both go well.

Howdy, howdy. Apologies for the delayed reply, I’ve been doing some background maintenance and updates. Thank you for the well wishes, both work and wedding planning are so far going as well as can be reasonably expected. So, after a great deal of consideration and hesitation, here’s where I am on getting people over here to roleplay: You are more than welcome to advertise Silver Warriors anywhere you like, and to invite people you know to come check it out; if anyone's interested in writing here, I will be here daily to supervise and, when I have the time, to join in. Here’s a snapshot of where the site stands, as of this moment, in terms of setting and plot and rules (all the details are on the Main Board in their respective threads): Setting/Plot: There was an awful war over the winter. DeathClan attacked and cut off the Clans from StarClan. The Clans have since driven out the bad guys and restored their connection with StarClan. Now it’s springtime and all is well. Details can be found in the various threads in the ‘Clan Information’ board.
Rules: The rules have been edited ever so slightly to make things a bit more relaxed, since I just straight up don’t have the time or energy to get on people’s cases about 350 word minimums and name restrictions.
Because Yeah: MoonClan is off limits, permanently. My old friends and I just poured too much time, energy, and love into that Clan’s stories for me to bear to do anything but preserve it as we left it. Just pretend it doesn't exist. All the other Clans will be open for new characters and mini plots.
Old, Inactive Characters: I won’t be deleting old characters from the Allegiances lists (I will mark them inactive however), just as kind of a testament to the old crowd. I will open up leadership positions that have been left vacant, with the exception of Soundstar, SunClan’s leader. As it stands now, the list of positions is: SunClan Leader: Soundstar (off on a quest to find his missing brother) Deputy: Amberflame (acting leader, with some cat or another as acting deputy) Medicine Cat: Open
NightClan Leader: Shadowstar Deputy: Open Medicine Cat: Open
DayClan: Leader: Open Deputy: Open Medicine Cat: Open
DeathClan Leader: N/A (they are pretty much existing in a state of anarchy right now) Deputy: N/A
That’s about it, I think. As I said, you’re more than welcome to advertise SW wherever you like. I am happy to type up an advertisement post later this week, but otherwise don’t have much time to devote to getting activity going (I have four weeks before the relatives start pouring in from all over the world for my wedding and waaaay too much still up in the air, God help me).

Sorry for my slight dissaperance. I've been away a lot. So the advertiement on the LMBE's have been denied, for the time being. However there are other sites where I can. I'm guessing you're about to have your wedding so I hope that goes well for you. I'd type a bigger post but my device is about to chrash.

No worries, Blackpaw. One nice thing about playing around on an inactive site is that there's no pressure to post ASAP. Anyway, I really appreciate the advertising attempts, and I do hope it's not in vain. Fingers crossed!
Yup, the wedding's in less than two weeks, and then I'll be on a beach in Mexico for a week afterwards, so I'll be more than a bit tied up until late July. That said, I do check in here pretty much every day just out of habit, so I'm sure I'll be around, if only to glance about for new posts, And thank you kindly for the well wishes, we need all the luck we can get at this stage in the game!

Thank you! I guess your weddings finished now, but I hope it went well. How was in Mexico? You're more than welcome. Ok, my website is almost complete, I should soon be putting up a link here and to other websites. I am also sneaking info past the mods on Lego.com and the Message boards.

Hi, Sam! Sorry I haven't checked in, we postponed the Mexico trip a bit so we only just got back. Good trip, glad to be home, and while the wedding went very well, I'm very glad to not be dealing with it anymore!
Anyway, thanks so much for passing around word of this old place, especially where sneaking info past mods is involved.
Aaaand now it looks like the graphics are acting up, so I have to figure that out ASAP. (Saphire designed and updated the place when it was up and running, so I have almost no idea how to change the code for new images and all that...) [sigh] YouTube tutorials, here I come! Also need to delete a few dozen accounts that were made years ago and never used, now that I think about it. Ah, well. To work, then!

Sorry for the wait! That's good to hear. Actually I'm a mod on there now. Would it be worth restarting the site from the beginning or not?
