August Is The Month Of Change!

Greetings everyone!

August is a great month for WH. Site activity is really kicking up, and things are moving along great! Lots of behind-the-scenes work is being done, people are continuously bringing their new characters to the site, and roleplaying has picked up immensely. That being said, more activity means that we need more paws to help out around the site. I would like to introduce our newest Moderators!

A big congratulations to Laomi, LunaLuna, Sergeant, and Talon on behalf of becoming Wolf-Haven's new Moderators. We had so many great applicants and many people were qualified, but these four users have shown outstanding potential in their helpfulness and good manners to the site. As they are new, please don't overwhelm them with reports and username changes at first; they are just learning how their staff control panel works and may need assistance on their first pawful of reports. If you have any complicated issues, feel free to send them to me instead. If you didn't get picked this time around or weren't old enough to apply, don't feel down! As the site continues to flourish and everything continues on, I'm sure that we will need more new Moderators in the future.

Of course, we can't forget Shara! Though she did not apply, Shara has been an outstanding member of WH since the moment she joined and having her working alongside us is a blessing. She will still continue her work as a site artist, but she is now a Moderator as well. A big congratulations to her!

Unfortunately, our new gain doesn't come without a loss. I give my best wishes to CheshireAlley, a veteran member of WH who has stepped down from his position as Administrator due to his lack of activity. He has done a great deal for the site and I'm sure everyone will miss seeing his dark blue name from time to time.

Wait, eight Moderators and one Administrator to help Karlos out with WH? That doesn't seem right... and that is no longer the case! I'd like to give a huge congratulations to -Fang- and Sheri on their promotions to Administrator. They will be working alongside Jekyll to upload customs and do fancy admin work. I sure will miss being in the trio, but I'm sure that they will excel in their new jobs.

If you see our new staff members around, don't forget to congratulate them!

Long Time, No See!

Hey everyone! It's been quite some time since I've posted anything on my blog. I'd like to start off by sincerely apologizing to anybody who enjoyed my entries and was hoping for something new. Unfortunately, with a lack of topics to write on, I can't do much other than sit at my computer desk and watch my blog perish.

That being said, it's been nearly a year! I'd really like to keep up with this blog since it received a lot of positive feedback over the past years. Wolf-Haven has had a significant increase in activity, and that's great to see. With more members every day, we need more Moderators to help keep up with things. Moderator applications are open, and you can apply by clicking here. Please bear in mind that you must be 16 or over in order to apply. This is to ensure that our staff members are mature and respectful members that others can look up to and seek guidance from. I'm sure that there are many wonderful young candidates, but that's just the rule. You don't need to be a Moderator to help out, though! If you genuinely want to help out the site and your main focus isn't having a blue name, you can answer peoples' questions and report rule-breaking topics that you see in the Forums. Your generosity definitely does not go unnoticed! Given that you need to be 13 to join Wolf-Haven in the first place, the most you have to wait is three years, and I'm sure that we'll need to hire more staff members again down the road.

One thing that we need to work on sprucing up is the Forums. They're a bit dead as of late, so why not go ahead and get posting? There are many different topics that may catch your interest; even if you're not an active forumer, it's worth checking out. You can find the forums here. The Chatbox could use some new faces, too! Even if you've never been on the Chatbox before, come say hi; we won't bite! You can find the Chatbox here.

Karlos has been on daily, too, so it's safe to say that there will be updates to the site. It's going to take everyone's effort to become an active community again, but we can do it!
