June 13, 2014 New Staff Added, and Deleting RP and Contest Threads

Our new staff have been added! Give them a warm welcome and keep an eye out for our next recruitment!

The board mods will now be clearing out the Role Play, Contest, and Group-Written Stories sections of the forum. They will be deleting all inactive or completed threads, starting with the oldest threads last posted in 2012 and earlier, to help the site to run a bit quicker. If you have a thread in one of these sections that you no longer require, please PM one of the board mods with a link so they can delete the thread for you.

July 02, 2014 Possible Scam/Spam Alert

If you receive a message about Tallenge, please contact an admin ASAP and include a link to the user's profile in your PM. Tallenge and its associates appear to be sketchy, at the least, and Mibbians should take caution when dealing with them.

July 07, 2014 Uploading Photos

As you've probably noticed, the site has been running slowly for a lot of members. In efforts to help lighten up the site's load, we'll be clearing out unused and misused sections of the site. As stated previously _[1], we've be deleting old, unused threads. We'll also be asking Mibbians to clear out their inboxes of any old messages they no longer need. And now we'll be cracking down on users who misuse their photo sections.

Although we've always had a warning about what photos you are (and are not) allowed to upload to your photo section, we've updated the message to make it a little clearer and easier to see.

Old Warning:

You can upload only personal photos, you have to be on the photo you upload. Everything else will be deleted.

Updated Warning:

You can only upload photos of yourself or photos that you are in. All other images will be deleted. If you'd like to share other photos or your artwork, visit Mibba's Art and Photography _[1] forum.

Though the wording is (hopefully) clearer, the two warnings amount to the same thing: Only post photos of yourself and photos you are in. If you post photos that you are not in, they will be deleted from the site.

Mibba is not meant to be an image hosting website, so please don't treat it like one. We don't have the capacity to serve as image storage for our members. If you'd like to share other photos or your artwork, feel free to upload them to an image hosting site (like TinyPic, Photobucket, Imgur, DeviantArt...) and share them in Mibba's Art and Photography forum. There you can create a personal thread to share your photography or artwork.

* For more information on the Art and Photography thread, visit the Welcome to Mibba's Art and Photography Forum.

As a general reminder to all Mibbians, comments and posts anywhere on this site are public and visible to all Mibbians. As such, when you post something to the site, remember that any and all Mibbians are allowed to comment, counter, or otherwise respond to what you have said. If you are uncomfortable with users responding to your comments or posts (or if you are uncomfortable or do not want to engage others in conversations about that topic), then do not make posts. Remember that everyone else has the same right to speak as you.

In other words: Do not post something if you're not prepared to deal with the responses you may get.

If you feel like someone has broken Mibba's rules with their comment or post, contact an admin via private message so we can look into it.

Thanks to last months Prompt-a-Thon, daily writing prompts are back! A new writing prompt (for poems, stories, articles, or blogs) will be posted each day. If you publish a piece based on a writing prompt, be sure to add DWP to the tags so other Mibbians can find it.

If you'd like to submit other prompts to be featured, you can continue to use the Prompt-a-Thon thread.

Happy writing!

The Role-Playing forum is making a move! It will now be located under the Writing section of the forums: here. We'll be manually moving the threads over, starting with the most recent. All your RP links will stay the same (so if you have them bookmarked or saved, you don't need to worry about broken links).

Hopefully, the move will be done fairly quickly. We'd like to fill the current RP space with a Chat Room area.
