New Updates!!

The staff at Ethereal Lights has been working hard to put fresh, new ideas into action. We've taken suggestions from members and made them possible! An example of this would be the Ethereal Lights' Dice Roller. Through Javascript, you are now able to efficiently play any pbp roleplaying game that requires dice assistance. ZanNight, another administrator, has also been working hard on getting the vlogs done. On August first, he debuted the first vlog of EL 3.0. Midnight Insanity and Nikkia have also brought back an old idea and made it work - the podcast! Yesterday, they made the first 15 minute podcast - talking of food, their favorite movies, etc! There has also been talk of featuring a member for the next podcast.

Another idea that the staff is working hard to bring to life are competitions in the Creative Works section. They want to hold competitions in photography, writing, drawing, music-making, video making - the likes! Prizes to these competitions are being decided now, but it is likely that it'll involve a creative upgrade to someone's account.

Last, but certainly not least, Ethereal Lights has introduced a more elaborate way of recognizing "Member of the Month." From now on, the member of the month will receive a recognition topic, where people can congratulate them. Along with this, the member will also receive a "custom usertitle" as well as a colored username - orange!

August's MOTM is ParadoxInABox. Though a new member, she's proven what it means to be loyal and dedicated. So check out her recognition topic! That's all from EL right now - more updates coming soon!

EL is Back in Business!!

If you haven't been keeping up with the latest news of Ethereal Lights, you don't know that Ethereal Lights is no longer hosted by vBulletin! In fact, we've moved back to Zetaboards! Originally, we moved to vBulletin for the different updates and options offered on vBulletin, but let's face it - Ethereal Lights is a Roleplaying Forum and always will be. In which case, Ethereal Lights' staff wants stability. We want to be able to offer our members security and assurance that they won't lose their work. We can do this more effectively on Zetaboards.

The member base, thus far, seems rather happy about the move back to Zetaboards. Since the move on July 4, 2010, we've acquired more than 150 new members and three dozen new roleplays. Midnight Insanity, advertiser extraordinaire, has featured Roleplays on not only Twitter, but Facebook as well! Mass emails have been sent, and Roleplay of the Week is back with a vengeance.

With our move, we've even added a new staff member. MidnightDragon, Community Moderator is in charge of content. Now that we have a moderator to jumpstart the community, we offer not only Roleplays, but a great off-topic community.

Nikkia is finishing the portal and ZanNight's creating the first vlog - EL is officially back!
