The Shire Tribute
Issue the Xth: January 14th, 2006
This is the first Shire Tribute we've had in a very long time, and so it is I bring you all news from afar, of importance and of no importance, good and bad.
New Ideas For the Forums
Since DDL's promotion to manager, the Dark Tower has reawoken, while its evil inhabitants discuss many different ideas to improve the forums. Their numbers are growing, and here are a list of a few in development:
Tolkien Forums Survivor - A game in which six contestants will be stranded on a single board, struggling for survival. The administration is currently debating the location of this contest, and the rules and regulations of it.
Green Dragon Pub and Inn - This is a twist of a role-playing forum, allowing all who wish to enter and, in the form of a role-playing game, talk about anything they wish in RL. One may rent a room, or participate in the activities planned. Though this board is visible, it is still not accessible, due to a small 'bug' in the rooms idea. It should be accessible very soon, and you can begin. Minyaliel will be moderating this board.
Bombadil's Playground - This new forum will be a games forum. Slowly, but surely, the gamelike topics from the Fireplace will be moved to the Playground. The administration is currently debating whether or not it should be a product of the Marketplace, or whether it should hold all forum games, including the Marketplace itself. Your input is appreciated. DDL will be moderating Bombadil's Playground.
Suburb of Kings
The forum recently opened to the public, who seemed to have loved it. I look forward to having fun in my own house, as I am sure others are as well. Purchase it for 500 coins in the Marketplace.
More Reorganization of Boards
Because of inactivity, the role-playing category has combined into one forum, and moved to the Community Boards. The Prancing Pony and Square Forums have also been shut down and combined with the Fireplace, due to inactivity as well.
Moderator Promotions
DDL has been promoted to manager! Congrats!
New Avatar Galleries
Two new galleries, Tolkien Avatars, and the Silmarillion have opened, with a Hobbit One in the works. Expect more from the avatars soon.
The Super Mega RPG Thing
It seems, as always, that we are having trouble dealing with the massive RPG. It will not be cancelled. It will open... someday.
Open Call For Banners!
Reminding all that new banners will be looked into and accepted. See this thread for more information.
Web Site
A web site for Tolkien Forums is in the work, though the discussion is in somewhat primitive stages right now. Expect more news as time goes on.
Other
Remember that if you want to add something to the Tribute, just PM me sometime on Friday!
Thanks for reading the Shire Tribute, and have a nice day!
