Greetings! First off, let me explain why my character's name is changing from Ahmad Sankoh to Ian Blackthorne; the character change happened as the culmination of a plot on Atlantis stretching back for five real-life years. I did change to Sankoh seven months ago, but he was only an interim character between Zuriyev and Blackthorne while Atlantis was in a divergent timeline, so I promise not to unleash this changing of Admirals on everyone again! My new AIM name is VAdm Ian Blackthorne and you can email me at ian.blackthorne@xxxxxxxx This is the last email you'll get from the Sankoh address, so please update your address books, buddy lists, and mail filters! This is a big month for the Celestial Prime Journal; it is with great pleasure that I announce the CPA Forums! You'll find the link to them in the contents pane of the CPJ, or you can access them directly at http://forums.orbitalsunrise.net/cpa/ or http://cpa.orbitalsunrise.net/forums/, whichever you prefer. Hosts, please send me a current roster so I'll know what ranks and usergroups to assign to people on the forums. I'll also need to know about promotions so that I can elevate the person's forums rank. Aside from a forum for each sim to post its logs and whatever else, there's also a Lounge for general enjoyment and a forum for the Hosts to make announcements about their sims! From now on, that's where announcements will go instead of here. The basic forum structure is like this - Each person registers one forums account per sim character, using their character's first and last name with no rank. That account is assigned to a usergroup that can post new topics (like a log) in the appropriate sim's forum. You can't post new topics in another sim's forum, but you can reply to existing topics, so you can comment on a log from another sim, and you can always go back and edit your own posts. Hosts will be moderators for their sim's forum, having the power to delete inappropriate posts, create polls, and other administrative functions. All registered users can post and reply in the Lounge forum, and only hosts may do so in the Announcements forum. Standards of censorship in your sim's forum are the same as in your sim, and each forum's status is plainly labeled. All of this will create a lot of questions and little things to work out, I'm sure. We've already had a beta testing period of several weeks to try to get everything, but things will pop up. Please do not hesitate to email or IM me with questions or concerns! I'll be glad to help! Vice Admiral Ian Blackthorne (formerly known as Ahmad Sankoh)
