Cricket has returned to us with some new friends. However, she arrived with bad news. A group of spammers are targeting boards led by a person called Tenacious or Ten for short. We must watch out for her because we do not want to have to close our boards. Don't give out this address to people unless you know them well, okay? So no advertising. We must wait until Ten and her goons have grown bored and left. In other news, Ally has appeared to have vanished. If she does not return I will be forced to fill in for her -.- We need all roleplayers of AquaClan to be present in the hillside. Feel free to create various boards to roleplay them in. Also, if I am correct, BeachClan shall be launching an attack on FrostClan soon. Rainlight will be delivering her warning soon. As you have probably noticed, the Guild now has a board! We will begin posting. Plese read the Guild thread in Announcements because Ali desperately needs a mate for River Stone and some kits! And relationships are open between Guild cats and FrostClan. I'ld love to see this happen because I need more FrostClan charries  This leaf-bare is perfect for killing off old characters. Go for it! I encourage you! What else do I have to say? Ah yes! Rogues, kittypets and loners can have kits! Ali would be super happy to see relationships for the poor guys ;D -pokes Tiger- WINK WINK. Old applications that are not completed will be deleted! FINISH THEM PEOPLE. WE NEED THOSE CHARACTERS. DON'T MAKE ALI EAT YOU. nom nom nom nomDon't be afraid to start threads for anybody or just a private one. It's encouraged. Don't wait for somebody else to make one. It doesn't have to be plot related. What else does Ali have to nag you with? Allegiance List... Don't forget to check it for updates c: Oh, and sometimes admins cannot accept your applications because the Clan is too crowded. Really sorry. FrostClan is open! I'm thinking of putting stars next to characters on the Allegiance List that are meerly space fillers. Desertflower and Tussockwind for example. I think that's it.... No! Yes. No! I remembered. Read the Rules for my English rant. I noticed some of you are getting sloppy with pronouns and speech. I don't want to have to make you do lines :K

Ah yes, wink wink...xD
We should add to the little "Banned" column on the thingy and get those staff buttons up! Everyone, don't be afraid to roleplay! Also, don't be afraid to read grammar rants. Tiger and Ali are very strict about these things. If anyone can contact Ally and coerce her back here, then that would be great. (:

XD It was quite subtle wasn't it?
Yes people, read our grammar rants. Also, application standards are quite high now so don't be upset if it doesn't get accepted. Keep working on it! And nag us admins if we forget about it, okay?

Basic Grammar~Capital letters for names, places, the pronoun 'I' and days of the week/months. Those who don't know this will be beaten with the 'titular' on the top of their lower capital 'i'. ~Capital letters are at the start of sentences, after a full stop and at the start of speech. ~A new line for a new speaker. I swear if I don't see you doing this, I will slap you with a particulary large salmon. This is not an example  ~Speech is formed like so; "Oh golly gosh," he breathed," Did you see that?"
Her laugh was like wind chimes, light and musical. "I've never seen a unicorn before."
"What can I do for you?" he asked.
Note the little comma. Also, you don't need to have 'he said' after each piece of dialogue. See example two.
~Exclamation marks and question marks have the same power as a full stop. ~You can use italics or bold to emphasise a word. In the warrior series they are also used to show thoughts. She was so pretty or The fish was huge!~Proboards supplies a Spell Checker. Use it. Although, it is American English but English English is perfectly fine. Ali uses English English. HomonymsHomonyms are those ghastly words which sound nearly or exactly the same as another word with a different meaning. These can often trip people up when spelling so here is a list to help you; ~ Bear, Bare and Beer A bear devoured my lunch. The floor was bare, nothing on it. I drunk so much beer last night I was sick. ~ See and Sea I can see her over by the old oak tree. Doesn't the sea look awful blue today?~ Knew and New I knew that she was not human. Look at my new Porche. ~ There and Their Over there is the bike stand. She brought their neightbour's dog to the show.OwnershipYou are staring at somebodies writing and ask yourself " Why do they put apostrophes after their words in some places?" I've asked myself that quite a few times and here is the answer. When you are talking about somebody else's object or possession you have to put an apostrophe after the 's'. Like so; Sarah's new bike, Dad's leg or the computer's cables. A good way to remember this is to stop and think, "Can the subject own this object?" If the answer is yes, put in an apostrophe. But if their is more than one subject the apostrophe goes after the 's'. The nuns' habits were drycleaned every Tuesday. AbbreviationWould have = Would've Could have = Could've Should have = Should've Would not = Wouldn't Could not = Couldn't Should not = Shouldn't Can not = Can't Will not = Won't Did not = Didn't Do not = Don't She is/was/has = She's She had = She'd She would = She'ld She will = She'll He is/was/has = He's He had = He'd He would = He'ld He will =He'll We are = We're We have = We've We had = We'd We would = We'ld You are = You're ( Not the same as the personal pronoun 'your') You have = You've You had = You'd You would = You'ld Common Misspelled Verbsto dieI die, You die, He dies, She dies, It dies, We die, They die. I am dying, You are dying, He is dying, She is dying, It is dying, We are dying, They are dying. I died, You died, He died, She died, It died, We died, They died. to lie--No to be confused with to lie, as in to tell a lie. I lie, You lie, He lies, She lies, It lies, We lie, They lie. I lie beside you in the grassI am lying, You are lying, His lying, She is lying, It is lying, We are lying, They are lying. I am lying beside you in the grassI lay, You lay, He lays, She lays, It lays, We lay, They lay. I lay beside you in the grassI was lying, You were lying, He was lying, She was lying, It was lying, We were lying, They were lying. I was lying beside you in the grassI laid, You laid, He laid, She laid, It laid, We laid, They laid. I laid the blades of grass on my knee. He laid down beside me in the grass.

I always said it, never typed it 'cause it looked wrong. All this is so familiar to me and just to let you guys know, if something I type sounds funny to say, but techinically is right grammar(or not lol), it's because I say things southern and they just come out when I type too. : D

xD You'ld does look funny but I guess I put it there because I say it.
If anything I type looks funny it's because I've typed a word similar in pronounciation to the word I meant to right. Overhear, 'would of' and 'would've' sound pretty similar.

ALIMAY! -mother gasp-
You said "overhear" when I think you meant "over here." Just a bit of grammar correction =D Sorry.

I rest my case. I tend to confuse words which sound the same.

I know I've been away sick so surely something must have happened while I was away. Any problems or questions?

I've seen it a lot on older boards that have been abandoned for a while. ):
Most of them are basically advertisements for some World of Warcraft hack which gives you gold (well...that's what I think they are xD).

I've seen them before. WoW stands for World of Warcraft, which is why when I saw this:
...I thought the spammer was excited about gold. I've also seen others that have said stuff about China 0_o
