Hey all! After a bit of dusting and reworking some aspects of the site, this is official notice that Victory Road is reopening and is now back in business! There are just a couple of important things for members to take note off, specifically for those old members who might be returning to the site:
1. All characters and RP threads from the last run have been moved to the archive, and all members have been marked as inactive. But have no fear! If you are a returning member and want a character or any threads recovered, please just post below what you want and a staff member will go ahead and move them back for you. All returning character accounts that are recovered will also be re-added to their respective member group.
2. The rules on Victory Road, most importantly the rules on Pokemon, have been redone. In short, Victory Road is now a 100% freeform RP! The staff felt that some of the changes made to the Pokemon rules on the old run (notably the point-buy system) didn't fit the spirit of the kind of site we wanted VR to be, and so there is now absolutely no mechanical limit to Pokemon. The actual rules are explained a bit more clearly on their respective threads so everyone should make sure to go and check those out, but basically VR is now going to run on an honor code/common sense based approach like most RP sites on Proboards. This also means that old members are free to change what Pokemon their old characters had. If you would like to redo a character's Pokemon team, please just PM the new roster to a staff member so we can go ahead and approve it.
And that's it! If members, both new and old, have any questions about some of the changes made or about the site reopening in general, please feel free to contact either Gold or myself. Otherwise, we hope y'all have fun!
