Hi, name's Gale, and I'm a veteran role-player, been doin' this for about...8ish years now. I love forum role-plays especially, and developing characters -- my goal is to make characters with disabilities and disorders and make them as realistic as possible. I like to create people, and people are diverse. As you maybe can tell, I take an extreme interest in English, sociology, psychology, mythology, and just being a nerd in general.
Hmm, ok, I'm a kind of a nonbinary individual myself, though my sex is female, so use whatever pronouns you so desire. I'm presently 19-years-old, and I use to run Transformers (G1) forum for about 7 years and I've been a Mod on a collection of others. I'm still kinda new to Homestuck, but hopefully my obsessive personality will catch me up fast enough, haha.
Anywho, I dunno what else to write, so hopefully that'll do.
-Gale

Hey, Gale!
I'm Katie, though usually online people call me Face? Call me what you want. I'm the primary admin and creator of the site, so feel free to come to me with any questions, comments, suggestions, roleplay ideas, or conversation topics.
I'm not exactly a veteran, I suppose, having started roleplaying about four years ago (and only well in the recent two or three), though I'm sixteen, so I haven't exactly had much of a chance. I do try to make this site as inclusive as possible, though, allowing all sorts of characters with as much diversity, hopefully, as there is in the real world.
The site is a bit new and sort of very slow right now, but there are a few members lurking about (including myself) that would jump at the chance to roleplay something new, elaborate, and exciting.
Anyway, welcome! I hope you enjoy the forum.

Haha, well, hello there, KatieFace. (I kid, I kid, I'll call you Face, if that's cool. Shoot, I'd call you KF, but that's gonna make me think of that fast food chain.) Nice to meet you! Actually, I joined with the hope of contacting you. I've been a member of the homestuckrole-play.forumotion group for roughly two months now, and I've been unimpressed by it's lack of professionalism and blatant disregard to listen to outside input. Recently I became a Mod over there, and dug around through the Moderator specific forum and saw your points: I was really, really impressed. You made excellent points to improve the forum, took the words right out of my mouth and then some. When I learned you were no longer active on that forum, I was saddened: you see, I'm getting turned off on the other forum to the point where I have decided to make my own, and I wanted to contact you to see if you would like to be an Administrator -- you have a very good business mind, a very professional outlook on forum-running and how it should appeal to others, with how it appears and runs. Then Blue Mage was nice enough to tell me you had your own forum, and here I am. I hope to become an active participant here, whenever your forum is fully ready for use, or if it's OK to post while it's still under construction, but I also still plan to go ahead with my own Homestuck forum creation and would still like to extend the offer to you to become an Admin with me on it, if the offer appeals to you at all. If the notion does strike your fancy, I'll add on that the forum is still under construction and will likely be done, at max, in a month's time. (Hopefully sooner if I can get my patookie in gear.) Anyway, I hope to get started here and it's very nice to make your acquaintance, Face. ^_^

Hoooly shit
Yeah, I stuck around HSRP for quite a while, trying to get some improvements made. I managed to get one of the admins to listen to me, but aside from that, a majority of the staff didn't really like me. I made quite a few friends among the general users, though, which was why I stayed on the site for so long. I did get into a few fairly heated arguments with one of the admins, in the end, over how little I'd actually been listened to; I'll admit I got pretty pissed, and acted out of line in some respects, but for the most part I did keep my cool. I left an explanation as to why I was gone a couple of weeks after I finally did leae, and they deleted that, along with my account.
Thank you for the compliments, and I would love to be an admin on the other forum! That sounds amazing, and you sound like you definitely know what you're talking about.
It's nice to meet you too, Gale. uvu

Honestly, I wouldn't blame you for getting frustrated and losing your cool after a certain point: it's a very constrictive and stressful environment, if you're one to dare disagree with any higher authority. It's certainly hard to keep professional while repeatedly dealing with that. Moving along however, you're more than welcome, and I'm very excited to have you accept my offer. ^_^ I've created the forum (this morning, actually) and edited its layout, and now I'm just about to start working on setting up the forum threads themselves (Rules, OC creation, etc.) If it would be alright, I'm going to include a link on the off hand you'd like to see it -- any input is very much appreciated, as I value your contribution. I'm sure I'll want to change a few things once I've finished properly setting it up, but any critique on the aesthetic as it stands is very much welcome. (I'm on the third theme I've tried today and I'm still not entirely satisfied with everything.)Do you by chance have a Skype? It might be easier to talk there. Thanks and can't wait to hear from you, Gale ^_^ P.S. roleplayhomestuck.forumotion.com

Shit that message was kinda all over, wasn't it? That's what I get for starting it and walking away three times. I forgot to even mention my username after asking for yours -- apparently I've got a one track mind today. Sorry about that: my Skype username is GaleRedglare.

Oh, awesome! I created an account there, and added you on Skype (or, tried to... I am unable to use actual Skyp right now, so I have a workaround that's kind of glitchy. My username is pomashon, though).
And no worries, you got the point across fine ouo
