OK guys I'm going to start by saying alot of you probs are not going to like what's going to be said here, however all the staff discussed this last night and agreed on everything. Right now MLK does not feel like a lion king forum more just a social area, so we came up with idea that in the long run we feel will help spark up the community as this forum intended: for The Lion King
OK first off Role Play and Fanfiction groups are going to be made soon and 2 amazing people have been picked to lead them. For now im not going to tell you who but we are confident they will bring life back to those areas of MLK
Now onto the hard stuff, the parts you guys most likely will not be pleased about but it was agreed on:
1. The arcade is going - There are so many un-needed game topics in there it just seems like a ton of spam. We are keeping a few of the best games though and moving them to the den but in general its just all going
2. Den cleaning - We are seriously going to sort it out it is so full of topics that just are not needed ever. Like when topics are made for.. idk exmaple 'look at the new toy i got my cat'.... why create a topic on that its not needed. Something like that can be posted in a general discussion thread it does not need a full topic
3. Smarty pants for is also going - This area has been the cause of so much drama seriously it needs to go. Just like the arcade some topics will be spared and moved to world issues (which will be getting a rename)
4. Following on from 3 - As just a general rule, no more topics on discussing religion or politics.. all it causes is drama so never again to be honest
5. Rule enforcing - We feel alot of the members are forgetting some of the rules here in regards to topic making and how 'your opinions' are worded so the staff are gonna be a bit harsher sorry to say. Same with topics. Once we have cleaned up if you start posting needless announcements, not needed games or political/religious threads. We will just step in to lock/delete them. You wont get punished for it (unless you start spamming)
6. General restriction - We have noticed that pretty much all new members are just making a bee line for the den/arcade and general OT areas of the forum. So sorry but a restriction is going to be put down. Until members have been on the forum for a month and have made a post count of 100 there will be no access to the den/arcade
This is going to happen everyone from Moka to Noah and NEStalgiafox agreed its the way forward to make MLK better for the future. This won't happen all at once it will be a slow process but we will get there
We hope you guys understand and give your support
