I have returned! After almost 4 6 years of absence I have finally returned to this place that I created so many years ago. It's been a pretty wild trip since I was last here. My lengthy absence was due to occupational insecurity, multiple moves, and general life crises. However the future is looking to be fairly stable at this time and so I hope to be able to devote far more time to this forum than I have been in the past.

on the whole not much has changed. i have added a few star levels, and touche base with a few old-time menmbers. but right now theres only a handful of active posters here, mostly involved in rping on ' the other side section.

Yes, over all it looks like you've done a pretty good job holding this place together. Over the next couple weeks I plan on reacquainting myself with everything here. Sadly I'm pretty sure that the glory days of this place have long since passed. I'm not too sure what to do with it anymore. Particularly since it appears that the Redwall fanbase has dwindled significantly in the past several years. Also, I'm not sure how popular sites like this are anymore.

if it were up to me, i'd keep it going. i'd try to reach out to those listed among our membership and see if any of them return. if Universal can revive Land Before Time after 10 years, or Disney can do a new Lion King spinoff after 12 years, then there's no reason to throw in the towel. I'll be glad to keep it going. But then again i'm not you.

This forum isn't going anywhere if I can help it. Regardless if I am here to oversee it, it will carry on. It's more a matter of reviving it. There may be a little re-organizing but that is still off somewhere in the future. Right now I just need to get back into the swing of things. Now that I think of it, it's been more like 6 years since I was here.

since 2009, actually. i just marked 10 years here last September, so I'm here for the long run as well. I'm all for reviving it. i have some members from another board I frequent that i might try to get to sign up and participate here, and over the weekend I'll go see if they are interested in coming over here.

*steps into the conversation* Hello, apparently I'm one of your old members. Quite an act of coincidence I would say as just this morning (after not roleplaying for years, mind you) I decided to try and find a redwall forum roleplay of all things. I couldn't really find one I liked and so I left it, then, low and behold, what email drops into my inbox but one for a redwall rp that I happened to sign up for about six years ago!? Faar too coincidental for me to pass such an opportunity up. If you are indeed interested in revamping this place, I'd be happy to assist. While I don't have the time to create and manage my own site, I have years of roleplaying experience I am happy to offer you, as well as the fact that I run my own digital agency so it shouldn't be too hard to give the forum a whole new look etc. Don't want to step on anyone's toes though, so if you aren't interested I'm content to just be a normal member

Welcome back! While eventually I may do a bit of "remodeling" on the forum, it won't be until some time down the road. I need to figure out what new look I want to give it and what I want to change...if I want to change anything. Though first I need to get the new admin control panel figured out. In the mean time, feel free to jump right in. While there's not loads of activity yet, which I'm hoping will change eventually, there is a modestly active thread on Abandoned Mine board.

Sounds good, and yeah, looks like all I did before was create a character and then must've moved on to a different site. I'll stay out of your current thread as there would be no reason for Sparrow to be there, but she would be happy to welcome the two once they reach the Abbey. I'll create a thread there now so you both have somewhere to go next
