Hi! Okay, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is having a not so bad Tuesday which is impossible.
We've some business to attend to--and I want to be very clear that this is directed at no one in particular.
First up, we encourage everyone new to the site to go to the Ranger Station and look over the rules.
www.adifferentforest.com/Rangers/
What I want to focus on here is:
*No personal attacks. All opinions are welcome. If you don't like the best fic of the year, you can talk about that here. If you think Robert Pattinson is less appealing than crusty underwear doused in vomit, you can say that here. What you cannot do is personally attack anyone with a differing opinion. Or anyone at all.
*Please scroll down the page to see if there is a campfire similar to the one you are about to post before you post it.
*Please ask permission from a ranger before posting off topic campfires.
*Fic Recs. We have a weekly post for fic recs, yet I understand when you find a good one, you want to share right away. So...maybe we need a more than once a week rec post? It's possible....
Which leads me to my next order of business.
Gripes and suggestions.
Here's the deal with ADF: It is user generated. Rangers do not want to police this site. We want it to be whatever you want it to be. If you want this to be your place to love on Nikki Reed, it is. If you want this to be your place to discuss Catherine Hardwicke's antics, it is. I can't stress this enough: ADF will be whatever Twilight site you want it to be if you post.
Quite simply, it will be what you make it. And each of you have the power to make this pretty much exactly what you want it to be.
Please, use this thread to make suggestions or point out things you think could be improved, or any general complaint about ADF.
We are learning about this whole thing, too, and we just have no way of knowing what things are rubbing people the wrong way if no one says anything--and we want to know. We want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome, and we can't do that if we're not aware of issues.
Please, speak up so we can work on making ADF awesome-er.
