Well, first off, I'd just like to say a massive thanks to everyone who made this forum what it is. Especially at the height of activity and everything, when the plot was in full swing, this forum was really amazing!
Unfortunately, it seems, we've hit a rut and we're having a hard time getting out of it. Maybe we should push ahead and force ourselves into this massive plot like we planned but... I'm not sure things'll be better on the other side, if you get what I mean.
Webby and I were discussing what the problem is and we sort of concluded that it's all just too big. Everyone's got too many characters and then if someone leaves, they take a big chunk of the plot with them and their characters.
So, we were considering a different sort of change. I suggested moving to a brand new forum- fresh new plot, fresh new setting, fresh new characters. That way, we won't all be bogged down with millions of characters.
The only problem is Webby and I can't think of a simple but effective plot. xD But the idea's still out there. What do you guys think?

And of course we'd like your thoughts on the idea of a move, as well as possible plot lines. Everyone would be welcome and all that, so don't feel like we're trying to get rid of anyone x) We figured that if we were to create a new roleplay, everyone could probably have customs and all that, with maybe a few pre-set characters to help get the plot going.

Webby and I have been chat-a-latting on msn again, and we sort of came up with an idea. Okay, 3 packs. NOT massive in size like DS and FM xD One values strength, one values speed and the other values wisdom. ... That's all we've really got so far.

Why don't you add some violence into it? xD Say, the 'Speed' pack and the 'Strength' pack hate each other and wanna kill each other, and the 'Wisdom' pack only wants some peace? Just a suggestion.

That sounds like a good idea xDD Makes sense to have some tension along the way, haha!

I'm... Okay with it. I mean, I think I am. But, what if I want to bring a few characters with me? Like... I like Vixen's pup, Baya. Could I take her with me and have her on that site, only all grown up? I'll ditch Vixen, though. She went all drama-ey.I don't have a problem leaving my other charries, either ^^. I'd like to help make the new forum if it's okay..... And if this all goes through ^^. I'm pretty good with layouts...?

I think Webby and I have decided it's the best idea to go through with this. See, we both love roleplaying with you guys- we're just not sure if Moon-Star Wolves is the right place to do it anymore!
I'm in the process of creating the new forum now. There will be three packs, as I said before- the Emer Pack (speed), the Shakti Pack (strength) and the Ismene Pack (wisdom).
So far we've decided on a few premades: Conall (Male, Shakti Pack Alpha) Jian (Female, Shakti Pack Alpha) Boaz (Male, Emer Pack Alpha)* Akira (Female, Ismene Pack Alpha)* Aqil (Male, Ismene Pack Delta) Astra (Female, Emer Pack Beta)
The stars mean Webby and I have claimed those ones. You'll be allowed one or two characters to begin with. Later, we'll probably add thirds. Only the Shakti Pack has 2 Alphas at the moment; Webby and I have both decided we want our characters to rule alone for now (:
I'm currently working on a map & making all of the new boards on the new website. As Kes suggested, there'll probably be a lot of tension between Emer and Shakti- Ismene tries to keep out the way and keep the peace.
That's pretty much all we've come up with so far ^^'

I'll join that one! Could I snatch the alpha male spot of the last pack? I don't mind which it is. I've never played an alpha before ^^

Good idea, Kestra, thanks! (: And eek, Bry, sorry, i've already started making the layout. It'll be eeeeeven better than this one, my best yet hopefully.
This would allow for more flexibility within packs and mini-plots to happen, like love triangles and all that business. 'Cos everyone knows how much we love drama!
In regard to taking personalities from this site, i'm sure thats fine as long as you've okay'd it with the person who wrote the character, since most of them are pre-mades here. However, i'd just like to make it clear that on the new site, they characters would start afresh in terms of relationships etc. For example, if Paint used Xaka's character and I used Quianna's, they wouldn't be mates or even know each other. Not that we will, most likely x)

I support this change, even though I'm going to miss my characters an awful lot. Especially Frosty and Midnight ;-;
You mentioned a surplus of characters, though. Does this mean that you're going to allow less numbers of characters per person?

I'm willing to let people bring one of their characters from this forum to the other one. But, like Webby said, they wouldn't have any relationship ties or anything (unless they're siblings... I think that's fair.)
As for the amount of characters, yes Midnight we're having a smaller amount of characters per person. 1 or 2 to begin with and perhaps adding a third later.
That way, people can get seriously in detail with their characters. I started my character for the other site last night and I only meant to do a brief description- I ended up going into masses of detail and falling in love with my character because he was so different to every other one I've played! xD
I want everyone else to have that same sort of feeling. We've all lost it with most of our characters, and that's what leads to inactivity.

Aww, but I love my little Omari <3 And his sister Fallon too, but maybe that's cause I made her xD And I love her name
But anywho, I guess a new forum wouldn't be too bad, we have so many inactive charries on this one. It's sad, ya know? There are some really good ones on here. =/
And I'm already thinking of ideas about Jian heh.
