Updated: Procedure for Moving IC Archived Threads
I am confessing being overwhelmed and in defeat on this portion of our move! See the above screenshot for what is left to move.
Therefore, with extreme regret, I will be asking for everyone to pitch in as their time allows. Here's how...
- I or one of the other two game managers will move the thread from the old site to the IC Thread Archives on the new site. We will put it in timeline order as best as we can.
- We will be using one of the two storyteller characters rather than transferring played characters back and forth. At the top of the thread and its posts, we will put the name of the character and its player.
- We will continue posting the thread and its posts under the name of the original player as this is a dropdown.
#3 means that you should still OWN that thread and can edit it and update it to your own character at any time. There is no rush on this. All updating will do is improve our site's stats and make them more accurate.
For the move, I am going to turn on IC posting and JPs in the archive and set up a channel in Discord to alert y'all of a new archived thread move. You can mute this channel and just check it periodically to see if one of your old threads has moved that you'd like to update.
Please ask any questions in the #help-me channel or Help Me forum so that it doesn't get lost in the clutter.
I apologize for letting everyone down on this part of the move.
EDIT: UPDATE ON PROCEDURE
Use the Storyteller characters only when appropriate to do so (i.e. true NPCs or narratives). Otherwise just Post As the original player's OOC Account.
Reason: It's easier and will be easier for the Player to find old threads and posts to update to their character's info.
