Some Upcoming Changes

[Senkusha]

I've come to a decision that I've been thinking about for quite some time.  I've implemented a Wiki on this web space, but I wasn't sure what I wanted it to contain.  Well, I've thought about it over the past couple of days and have decided that the following will be removed from the Forum and placed in the Wiki instead.

• The Role Playing System database.  This will list all the games that I'm comfortable with hosting on this site, as well as purchase information and links.  (I'm also going to see if I can also use an affiliate marketing link to try to earn some pennies to help cover the cost of hosting.  You've been notified, officially!)
• Tutorials and How-To Guides.  These are the various tricks and tips that I've learned using the multiple free and/or open-source applications, such as Unreal Engine, Gimp, Blender, and more.
• Creative Fictions Workspace.  This section is not going to be the actual stories that I'm writing.  Those will be hosted on my personal Patreon page.  Instead, what will be found in this section will be my working notes.  Random scraps from ChatGPT, other inspirational ideas that I've collected from the various media sources that surround me.  I want a somewhat private, but reliable place where I can store all my information without worrying about it being lost.  I say private, because I'll be the only person who can edit the information, however, most of the contents will be publicly available.

I plan to rework the Role Playing area with a fresh look and new character based tools soon.  I may also decide to start an anime blog (or multiple) as well, but I haven't completely decided on that just yet.  Right now, the majority of my attention is focused on my full time job and my new Patreon page.  I'm hoping to have at least two reliable sources of income defined before the end of the year.  I've also been reaching out to other people on various social media networks, attempting to grow my intended audience.

Finally, I'll be purging all inactive members from the Forum on January 1, 2025.  I understand that people grow and change, and evolve different hobbies.  Anime typically doesn't stick around in people's lives for nearly as long as it has in mine.  The last thing I want is for my passion to become a burdensome pest.

I know this site seems pretty empty, and I'm not entirely sure that's totally my fault, but I'm going to do my best to try to rekindle the Spark of Anime enjoyment for anybody who wants it.  Until later, have fun!
