3/05/07 Created a new skin called "Friendly". It is very basic and inconspicuous. Great for when you want to be on Hollow Life in public areas and not draw unwanted attention. (Say, from teachers.)

8/01/08 I've noticed that some people are having some trouble with the Online/ Offline personal messages and having text appear that shouldn't. An easy way to fix it is: Go to Modify Profile If you have any words in the textbox of Personal Text that you did not put their, simply delete it. If the textboxes for Online Message and Offline Message are empty retype your messages and you should have no future problems.

This is where threads that have been inactive since June has been stored; they have not been removed since other members have replied to them. You may revive them, if you wish - if you do I will move it back to the main roleplaying section(Bloodletting). Also, the guestbook board has now been made guest friendly, so non-members may sign.
