Warriors of the Forest - Maintenance Mode Enabled

Everything that's ever come into being, everything that's ever occured, and everything that has ever been created began with one thing. An idea, perhaps. Ideas and beginnings go hand-in-hand. An emotion, maybe, for emotions trigger most happenings. But the cause of creation isn't quite as important as the creation itself.

There was one particular creation that surely you are familiar with. No, not the Earth's beginning. That was too long ago; this genesis was in a slightly different era. It was hundreds, maybe even thousands of years ago, and it had to do with a belief. You could call it a religion, perhaps, because it created entire generations of followers. And it was a belief in a...mystical, for lack of a better word, group of beings that governed their existing children through the very stars where they resided. No--it was not just a group. It was a clan. Yes, that was what they called it. A clan from the stars. StarClan.

And it was from this belief in StarClan that sprung other Clans--four of them. And if you're familiar with StarClan, you must know what these four Clans were and are. But here, in this forest, the Clans have only existed for a short time. They are anchored in their original forest, yes. And nothing unusual has happened. Yet.

But StarClan must know something the Clans do not. There is a change in the scent of the wind. The great maples are surrendering their leaves too soon. The sun's warmth is tainted. The moon's glow is dim. And yet, what problems could the warriors of the forest run into this soon in their lives here? This early in their harmonic dwellings? While the forest creaks with the breeze, what could be approaching besides serenity and days of peace?

By definition, the word "genesis" means an origin, creation, or beginning. And that's what this is: the beginning.

News

.4.20.08. Quite obviously, the site has been finished for a while. I nearly forgot about this thing. XD The season has changed, everyone! Shed your winter coat! Shake off the icicles! Newleaf is finally here! Make sure to post accordingly. The April Activity Check is going on, so please post in the corresponding thread so you don't get deleted. AND! We have a new staff member! Please welcome Falcon into the position Eyes of StarClan. I hope the site'll pick up soon. - Silentwind

.12.7.07. I'm starting to bring my staff members into the process as more and more gets done on this site. I'm starting to write the rules, and more boards have been finished. I'd like the thank Rubystar for helping and encouraging me! I'm planning (or hoping, at least) to get the site done by the end of this month so we can start off with a fresh new year. Wish me luck! - Silentwind

.11.18.07. I've done over thirty boards already and I'm still not finished. But the site is getting along well. With Thanksgiving coming up, I might take a small break to help my mom out with cooking and what not, but I'm determined to finish the site.

.11.14.07. The skin is finished! Now, I'm off to do the boards. And this time, I'll really try not to slack off on doing them unless I really don't have time. Can't wait until I can open the site again! - Silentwind

Weather and Time

It is newleaf. The tall snowdrifts of last season have melted away, leaving thriving grass and plants. Everyone is surely glad to be free of leafbare's icy shackles. Cats may now walk about the forest without slipping on a patch of ice or soaking their paws to the skin. StarClan seems eager to send water to the river, for drizzle and thunderstorms have not stopped since the ground thawed. The puddles have brought out much prey, thirsty from their long hybernation. Bathe in the lovely scents of newleaf before greenleaf takes over.

For more weather, check our status boards.

We are in moon four of year one.

Cbox Rules

No Fighting - Please do not start a fight in the Cbox. It's very annoying to people who are just trying to have a conversation. Take it to PM's, and if it's a real problem, then talk to us about it.

No Swearing - Do not start cussing in the Cbox. It's rude and unnecessary. You have the whole entire English language to use! Also, no insulting people, especially new members who are just trying to find their way around.

No Impersonating - Don't impersonate people. We will find out, and it's easy to tell if you're doing it.

No Spamming - Try not to post more than four random messages (if they are long, important messages, then we'll let it slide) in a row and do not start typing random letters and numbers into the Cbox. All those things are considered spam.

No Advertising - No saying, "Visit my site!" or, "Click my name!" We have an advertisement board for you, and that's where you should advertise your site.

Bans and the Wall of Shame

No bans yet.

If these rules are violated three times, you will automatically be banned from the Cbox and added to the Wall of Shame where the reason you got banned will be posted along with your I.P. address so other sites can be sure to ban you, too.
