What did I do? This message comes up first now...and...

What is this? Did I break a rule? Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Yeah, I got it too.
Might be everyone...I dunno.

I got it too, don't worry. They're just setting up the moderation queue and don't quite have it all fixed yet. ^^

CaptainMonkeys · #4 02-03-2008, 11:44 PM

I have it too. I haven't had it happen yet,thankfully. I hope it's just a mishap,like Jack said.

It's an automated message for all members. The message doesn't depend on your status, your group, or your activity.

I bet someone just put it in there to test it out.

Just ignore that message for now. I'm in the middle of making several changes to the forums and the wrong message is displaying at the moment. We hit our 5000 member mark!

So it's time we make a few changes. Everyone that now registers, won't get a free sig or userpage. They'll have to donate to obtain them. Newly registered users will also be moderated. Meaning a mod will have to approve all their posts for 1-3 weeks before they'll be allowed to post freely. This will help us contain spam, advertisers, and other unwanted users that slip past our new user moderation process. As soon as Xiaolin creates the new rank image, those that are already members will have their rank image changed from Pirate to Founder.

These are standard practices that we use on our other forums with a great deal of success.

Jack I · #7 02-04-2008, 02:21 AM

Yay, free sigs and userpages stay. ^^

Also, congrats on our 5k mark! Give us a half a month and I'll make an applaud animation from my character for us! Until then

LOL..We had no plans on taking sigs and userpages away from those who already had them. The newer users registering will have to donate to get them. All the donations goes into keeping the site running. Nick has added additional donation options for subscriptions as well. You can view them at Paid Subscriptions

Ok, you founders won't be seeing any more welcome messages on the front page saying you are moderated. I had to make a small adjustment. Find any more bugs with welcome messages on the front page, let me know please. Thanks.

Finally! People are noticing this awesome site! This will also mean more members to the sister sites as well, vmkforums, toontowncentral, etc.

CONGRATS!

WOW...It'll feel cool to have a free sig and userpage...rather than have to pay for it...

AND ON NOOOO! PATS LOST!

***Chris*** · #12 02-04-2008, 03:52 AM

**Batleth** · #13 02-05-2008, 02:32 AM

Rank image added to Full Members. Those with this rank image are the ones that got the free sigs and userpages for signing up early here.

Pirate Lord · #14 02-05-2008, 02:43 AM

Wow, I'm glad I found this site in September. I remeber back then. xD

Colombiano · #15 02-05-2008, 02:45 AM

Wow maybe this site might be as big as TTC in a few years. Glad to see that more and more people are starting to join
