I have created this post to keep you up to date on ongoing changes to the website and forum. If you have any issues with the website, feel free to let me know. Recent changes: - member information no longer accessible to guests - "Out of Character" forum no longer accessible to guests - Charters removed from the forum(they are on the www.defendersofvalor.com website), except for the House of the Beast Charter, which the members have "signed" - some threads moved. Notably "Defenders working together" and "Cora the Explorer..." to Adventurer Journals - "creative" forum renamed "Artwork and Drawings" and moved to the Hall of Portraits - "Support & Getting Started" area created

I plan on removing threads older than 3 months tomorrow night. If there are any old posts which are important to you, please copy them to your hard drive and/or tell me that they are important to keep and why.

I know this is obvious, but I am hoping you are not going to remove any posts from the Adventurer's journals. I'm not sure any are even three months old, but this is a resquest for future cleanings as well.
Anything in the creative sections should remain untouched in my opinion.

Adventurers Journals I had thought of, but i will expand that to all the creative sections. Thanks Calydon!

The members section of the website is complete and working. You can send your bios to me or post them in your House and send me a note so I do not miss it.

May 15, 2005 - tidied up old posts (greater than 90 days). The clean up seemed a bit odd. Hope nothing was lost. If something is missing, please let me know.

Well folk, the Ranks of the Defenders are growing quickly. I have been told that we are one of the foremost Guilds on Feathermoon. I am proud to be part of such a successful project.
The down side of such growth is that it is hard to maintain an accurate registry of all the new recruits. Also, the member histories section of the website is becoming less useful as there are a number of "dead links" where recruits do not have bios.
Finally, the Lords want to encourage everyone to submit a bio. This is an important part of the Guild as it fosters character development.
Accordingly, I will not longer be showing members without bios on the website. Sadly, there ARE some long-time members who are still "recruits" because they have never submitted a bio. Please take the time to write a brief story. I want everyone to become a full member!

I have introduced a more steamlined website design. You will notice that each House now has a "main" page and each House's Charters have been moved to within the House. The intention is to make a cleaner and more intuitive navigation and design.
In addition, I have begun constuction of the Academy, The Guild Library, The Quartermaster and the Warhammer Trust. These portions of the website represent great and ongoing accomplishments of the Guild, and should be shown to the world!
Please take a look and give me your feedback. Thanks.

I have always had an issue with the fact that the website "defendersofvalor.com" cannot be accessed from the forum, except if you wait and are fast enough to click on the "check out our website" link on the news fader.
In order to fix this aesthetic bug, I have removed all 'current events' news from the news fader. Current events can, and should be advertised from each respective House, or in the Guild Hall, as well as on the website homepage.
Regarding the news on the website, please remember that I rely on each of you to keep me apprised regarding the major events in your characters' lives. Please send me a note whenever something happens you want chronicled. Thanks.

- Moved all threads from the "Meetings and Social Gatherings" forum to "Defenders Hall" as little used, rarely read, and redundant. - Deleted Meetings and Social Gatherings" forum. - Moved "Defenders Marches" to "General" category. - Deleted "Events" category - Created "OOC" category & moved "OOC" and "Support" to it - Disabled "karma" as unused and confusing
