Feel free to join and participate on the YRP forum. :3 While we have a bit of a spambot problem, we’ve disabled all of the commenting on the blog and locked the forum up.

To join, you’re going to have to register on the forum and then send an email to the following email-address: [yaoirp.net @ gmail.com] to confirm that you’re human (and not a spambot). Don’t forget to send the email directly after registering if you want an administrator to activate your account.

All notifications about new users will go directly to the spam box on gmail due to the sheer amount of spam bots attempting to invade. The only emails we’ll receive are users who actively email us and prove they’re human. ^^; Each week, all inactive users (mostly spam bots) will be deleted from the forum.

Well, it seems I can’t actually bring the site down for maintenance because the maintenance module doesn’t seem to be installed. Joy. Anyway, from this point forth, any access to the forum will be at your own risk until further notice.

Unfortunately, school is taking a considerable amount of my time. Among other task, I find myself in front of a book or on the school site for several hours a day. I will check back with the site as often as possible but in order to make sure that things run smoothely I need your help. If you notice anything suspicious, my profile has all my screen names I believe, please do not hesitate to contact me via those links. Again I will be checking back now and then (probably a couple times a week), so worry not, I’m not dead.
Thanks,

I talked to Mich just a few minutes ago. I know some of you have been wondering what Mich has been up to, I’ve been given the ok to tell you. Mich has been in the hospital for the last few weeks, apparently due to losing a kidney. I’m told that he’ll be released hopefully today (maybe not..) but I’m hoping he will be. He may still be MIA for a while yet, I’m sure there is some recovery process once he’s released from the hospital. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to try and answer them on his behalf, or I’ll wait for his post on his condition. You know where to find me, my contact info is in my profile.

Thanks and Happy RPing,

Okay, so, obviously I haven’t been around much… like, at all (personal reasons I don’t care to go into so please don’t ask). o.o;; Sorry. >.>;

I’m officially going to say I’m on vacation / on a leave of absence. Rarely will I go on this site (I’ll probably check in every week or so to make sure things are okay and add any new users to their proper user groups). If you need help or need to get a hold of me send me a pm, leave a question in the help center (although, I won’t answer this until I’m checking up on the site) or send an email (yaoirp.net @ gmail.com -get rid of the spaces) and I will respond to it within a day or two (unless I have no access to the internet- which is highly unlikely).

Oh yeah, and, I’m officially putting all of my rp’s on hiatus (sorry guys). Technically I’ll be around but I’m not going to be rping anymore (for a while). If you want to find the rps you’ve written with me, remember that they’re in the same place they were before (original rps or fandom rps) except in the folder / subforums at the top of the page announcing hiatus.

Keep in mind any of you can easily get in touch with me if you need anything (even if I don’t know you but you’re a member of the site). Don’t be afraid too, I don’t bite… much. XD

BY THE WAY: Miss Wonnykins IS back from her extended leave of absence. :3

1) Have you noticed that suddenly all of the YRP Currency is gone? That’s because I deleted it today. For the last few days I’d been considering getting rid of it since not everything works (and I can’t fix that), people don’t care, you can’t use it (I’m trying to figure out the arcade), etc. There are a lot of reasons. Anyway, I finally talked with Ren and we both decided it would be better to get rid of it. So I did. XP

Who knows, maybe we’ll bring currency back to the forum some day when there are more people, things to use it on and everything is working properly. :3 For now, though, we’ll just be done with it. ^___^ Besides, I prefer the forum to not be so cluttered up.

2) The downside to all of this is that to get rid of the currency, I had to use back up files and that also got rid of most of the modifications I’d already put on the forum. Yes, that really sucks. I hate that. I even had to make a new portal for the site (which I’m working on now- I’m using wordpress, yay!).

3) Oh yeah, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed it- but I know some of you have. We now have a sister site! XD Yay! It’s called, My Heaven’s Drive. It’s a J-Rock RP site. Yes, like this one, it is mostly yaoi rp’s. For those of you who don’t know what J-Rock is… it’s Japanese Rock Stars! Musicians, yes. They tend to be really hot- like Mana. XP

4) You guys probably didn’t notice this- or care. Most of you probably won’t even understand what I mean when I say this… but, oh well! XD I added a favicon to the forum. You know, the small little logo icon that a lot of websites have. The W for wikipedia… oh screw it. If you really want to know what they are, go look here.

5) Oh yeah, Belated Happy New Years! XD I hope all of you made some good New Year’s Resolutions, I know I didn’t. lmao.

6) DO YOUR BEST TO INVITE NEW PEOPLE TO THE FORUM! XD We want as many members as we can get! ^___^ For all new members, welcome! Read the Terms of Service, follow the rules and have fun! Thank you.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST ISSUE OF BEHIND THE SCENES–
I’ve been working on closing a vulnerability that I was made aware of earlier today in the forums. It’s since been fixed, but I had to reinject and compile bits and pieces of the corresponding SQL. If you have any issues within the next day or two please let me know so I can address it as a possibility of being related to the SQL ‘re-do.’

Thanks

Miss Wonnykins will be on extended leave until further notice. Please seek out other admins for assistance.

I’ll try to get on when I can during school, (I’m on a school laptop now), so it may not be goodbye for good. But until the two weeks are up, you’ll be seeing a lot less of me.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

There’s a new administrator!  My name is Ren and I’ve come to the site as the Site’s Technical Advisor/Administrator. Truly an honor, and I hope to help further the site in any way possible. However, lets get the obvious stuff out of the way first. I am of course the sites Technical Advisor, hence if you have any technical issues, please feel free to contact either myself or any other of the most knowledgeable administrators. Kay? Thnx!

Yes! Now it is Christmas. You know what that means, don’t you? EXACTLY! Go on and hurry up. Scurry downstairs (if you have one) and rush over to the Christmas tree before you fall to your knees and tear open your presents. Hopefully you got what you wanted- if not there’s always next year. Or your birthday (whichever comes first). xD

Alright, now that we got that out of the way…

We are pleased to inform you that a new staff member has joined our ranks. Congrats to Jareth for becoming an administrator!

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that there are a few changes to the forum / site! They’re not minor changes, either, so I’m hoping that you’ve actually noticed them and that this update doesn’t come as a surprise. If it does… well, perhaps you should learn to pay better attention to things around you?
