GM Ethos
Staff

I was working on a video to showcase the new front page, but then I realized... it's not part of the game. The website is still up. Why post a video when I can just push it live?

So, here you are. Enjoy the new front page and let me know if you find any site bugs or things that look wonky: https://farwoods.net/
The forums are still untouched, I'll be revamping those separately.

This also includes an update to the Code of Conduct. Here is the new OOC#8 (the previous OOC#8 is now OOC#9):

  1. Soliciting of unmoderated communication. Attempting to divert other members of the community into unmoderated spaces without prior moderator approval is prohibited. This includes inviting other players to join you on off-site instant messaging platforms, or to join off-site groups, whether centered around the game or not. If you wish to add another player to message them outside the site or game, seek moderator permission before contacting them. Report any such invitations unless you can confirm they were approved by a GM.

The purpose of this rule is to protect minors who play the game and reduce hearsay in reports. This means that you can no longer post your Discord handle or other messaging/social media information on the website or in the game, without asking a GM first. Part of the website overhaul will be rolling out new on-site communication features, such as direct messages to characters and mod mail, which will have in-game notifications and should make the need to do this obsolete for non-malicious purposes. This also means you are forbidden from advertising or soliciting for any unsanctioned group chats or Discord servers going forward, so please take note of that. Thank you!

If anyone would like to submit 3x3s for the new banner system, please do so on the Discord server but make certain they fit the following criteria or they will be rejected:

  1. Must be 192x192 exactly
  2. Must be lined up with the tile grid (this can be difficult for some screenshots, you may DM Pica for help with it)
  3. Must be pixel-perfect (not zoomed in or out)

Outside screenshots preferred since there are a lot of burrow ones, but send in whatever you like.

Oh yes, one more thing which I'd forgotten about: your passwords will not work for the forums anymore as I upgraded the way they were hashed. I'll work tomorrow on integrating accounts into the website so that I can set a temporary password on request that will allow you to log in and update your password so you can continue posting.
