This is an archived version of FeralFront. While you can surf through all the content that was ever created on FeralFront, no new content can be created.
If you'd like some free FeralFront memorabilia to look back on fondly, see this thread from Dynamo (if this message is still here, we still have memorabilia): https://feralfront.com/thread/2669184-free-feralfront-memorabilia/.

    In short, we can't include other people's Intellectual Property in something we want to call our own IP. If we want to create history, make something uniquely us, call it ours, it has to BE ours. If a group wants to be officially part of the site wide events that will occur after the rebuild, their name and what have you needs to be uniquely FeralFront, not based on something else.

    Also, I think I once stated I would start banning people who made tracking posts when we have a sweet functionality for exactly that purpose > : |

    oh! i see thank you!

    also i think banning people might be.. a little harsh? tracking threads is easier because you get notifs for it, and its been a thing on the site since i can remember, and its not inherently harming anyone

    With the ability to get notifications from a thread *without* posting in it, tracking posts clutter up a thread and make it more difficult to find the content people want.

    For those who don't know about manage subscriptions, you're in for a treat! On desktop you can "Manage Subscriptions" (which can stop you from getting further notifications from a thread, or give you notifications from a thread even when you haven't posted) by going to the top of the page and clicking the little think that looks like a ribbon, or a bookmark. It's in the same bar as the "breadcrumb trail".

    On mobile you tap the menu (the 3 stacked lines in the top left), click "Options" and then click "Manage Subscriptions".

    Dynamo/Frosty, mind I shoot a question?


    I totally understand about the creativity content and Intellectual Property (I couldn't find a thread myself, so maybe it would be nice to know for those who are returners from the old version of the site). So what exactly is "FeralFront"? Does FeralFront has a theme that makes it what it is that isn't Warriors based (considering there is so much history with Warriors, I can imagine it is a hard transition to a FeralFront based theme)? I read through the Announcements, but I can't find anything that FeralFront would be called unique. It would be interesting to be involved in that, but it's hard to find the right information when so little is given.


    Also, there's a feature where you can watch thread in place of tracking so it doesn't add up all the posts with "track." :')

    It's not so what is uniquely ours, but what specifically isn't uniquely ours. Direct references to existing IP are obvious no goes. The idea of a group with a name and leadership positions isn't something that someone could claim.

    so just to clarify, does that mean that all of the original clans [windclan, riverclan, shadowclan, skyclan, bloodclan] will be changing their names? Also, what's going to happen with the traditional game? I'm not incredibly active so I don't know much about the site rebuild, forgive me if this has been explained lmao

    oh that was the wrong account lmao oops

    ok thank you!

    i'm still kinda confused about the rebuild in general though... mostly along with what canxers said. what does this mean for the site? if we're not doing warriors stuff anymore does that mean the traditional game will go? are we headed towards a more common theme that will change all of the clans or is part of the rebuild just distancing from warriors due to IP stuff? as someone who roleplays here currently and generally hasn't heard much at all about the rebuild this has kinda thrown me for a loop because i have no clue what's gonna happen to my favorite clans

    The leaders of the groups effected will be contacted when we get closer to the relaunch. Their was not shortage of talking on the rebuild. Not much has changed, it's just been slow going with summer and busy staffers. Not something we want to rush and screw up extra hard. :P

    The Traditional Game has nothing to do with what's currently called the extended game, and it also has nothing to do with all the "Other RP" boards on the site. The rebuild will only effect the extended game, as was always the intent.

    As today isn't the day for (re)releasing all this information, I'm going to lock this thread. When we get nearer to completion and have more of "new" figured out we'll release more information. In the mean time, if you'd like to help out, you can go to this thread and share any notable events or locations from FeralFront's history (again)!

    would this limit fandom-based characters as well?

    Just like with groups/group names, we can't include characters in the lore that are clearly based on someone else's IP. The character would be unable to influence the overarching ongoing story through sitewide events. For most people, that wouldn't matter much, as we have very few sitewide events now (which is something we're really hoping to change with the rebuild).

    Tp start, "rule break" isn't really relevant. The only rule on FeralFront that people need stress over is " don't be a toxic jerk".


    As for the rest, I'm not sure how to phrase it differently. If you create a character based on someone else's IP, it won't be able to impact sitewide lore created through sitewide events. "Modifying it slightly" doesn't make it better, as it's still someone else's IP.


    ~mobile

    I double checked the settings and they appear to be fine.


    If you haven't already, clearing your cookies may help. This will likely log you out of every website you're logged into. To prevent that, you can clear just the cookies for FeralFront if you have the skillzzz.

    It seems staff was unclear before.


    When we say don't be an asshole, we mean don't be an asshole.


    If none of the *many* boards on FeralFront are tolerable to you, find a new forum.


    FeralFront is for relaxed and laid back fun. It's pretty easy to get along with the vast majority of members because the vast majority of members are laid back and fun. If you aren't, this isn't the place for you.


    ~mobile

    Referencing the petition will just do the same, sadly. :D


    It's just some salty banned people confirming why they were banned.


    For anyone concerned, any online petition to shutdown FeralFront will have no effect. They mean nothing. The world doesn't care if some petulant people are upset they got banned from an RP site.


    ~mobile

    Deleted some spam posts.


    Apparently they think spamming their message from multiple different accounts will make it better received. Being a mod on the site they're telling you to flee to doesn't help the message ring true either.


    Some people's kids.

    How to get there depends on whether you're on desktop or mobile, but you can use the search for that. You just need to find and click/tap "More Options". When you do, it'll take you here. At that point, just choose yourself as the author and it'll show you posts only authored by you. If you want only threads you started, check the box for "Match only threads created by this member".
