So I don't know how many of you were around when AvidGamers was a popular place to roleplay, but I imagine a lot of you would have loved it due to it's customisable ways.. I just found, on FaceBook, an AvidGamers page. That said something was back online. And it is. www.avid-gamers.com/ It's there. o-o And there's the registration spot and everything. I honestly don't know what to say about this. xD |

sort of. xD It is an old host brought back. it was active from around 2004-2007. AG was amazing at that point and yeah, it's all customisable web pages and.. it's hard to explain but the application process was much different from proboards. Like, the forums are just an aspect of the site, rather than the whole thing. It's pretty intense for it to be back. xD
edit: Basically it's like you get a site, rather than a forum. you can customise pages (and the whole layout, rather than just a skin) and customise what you have attached to each character's profile (so you click their name and see their character info, rather than searching through the forums for it) to the point where all the forums are used for is roleplaying and chatting. You can literally do so much more because of it.
and it's old fashioned cause it's a replica of the 2004 forums. it's pretty hideous but it's a nod to where it all began.

Okay, so glad I'm not the only person who flipped their shit when they saw this xD
I know a lot of people who don't know the wonderment of AG will be kind of put off by how boring the main page looks, but it's the other content that's fantastic.
Here we go for trading for layouts/paying again. xD

OKAY SO LET ME EXPLAIN AVIDGAMERS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED IT BEFORE.
You have full control. Know HTML? Fantastic. Know CSS? Even fucking better. This place gives you free reign of how you want shit to look. The thing that made AG so awesome is how different it was (is since it's back) from forum hosts. You basically are creating your own website and that's always been amazing to me.
Avidgamers has a "public area" and a "private area". The public area is the part of the site where guests can see everything. You don't need an account to see any of the information if you don't want them to be able to see it. In the private area, unless you have guest access enabled, the only way for people to see any of the information there is if you've accepted their application. Oh, and all applicatons submitted on avidgamers is only viewable by the admin. If you have your user profile configured directly, all this information will go into the member's profile the minute you accept them and then everyone can see.
The member list is completely configurable, as well as the voting page and actual message boards and the private messaging .. I mean, you have complete control over how you want everything to look as long as you know basic html and css.
I've always loved AvidGamers because the system works. It's why there were two sites after it that tried to copy it as best as they could without copying it directly. Back in its day, it was the place to go for roleplaying. I really want to make this community thrive again because it meant so much to me. It was the first place besides neopets that I ever roleplayed, and I taught myself so much coding because of this place.
I just.
I have feelings, okay.

xD I think all of us who experienced so much on AG have got some feelings right now. I'm glad you managed to explain it because.. I was terrible at doing so. I just.. ugh. So many feelings.
I'm so looking forward to seeing people go back to playing with layouts. xD That's something I miss terribly.

Five years ago, the Pokemon League formed Lux to create a new world order of peace and harmony. A rebellion formed, under the name of Nox, cries tyranny at Lux's new microcosmic control. Their civil war now tears the Pokemon world apart. The world hangs in the balance of predormitum. Which side will you choose?
is a high stakes RP set in a dystopian Russian society recovering from an apocalyptic war between the armies of Heaven and Hell. Greater Russia now stands free from the influence of God and the Devil, and all non-humans run the risk of execution. Outside the safe zones lies the contained wasteland of Moscow, where demons and mutated shadowbeasts continue to terrorize the remaining human survivors who have been penned in with them. As of late, increasing evangelic disturbances threaten the peace that has ruthlessly maintained by the secret police.
