There has been some complaints about the Relationship Board. In an effort to try to make this the quality board it deserves to be, all of the mods and admins put their brains together and came up with a final solution that should hopefully please everyone while providing some entertainment and giving all shippers a chance to interact, create, debate and have a good time- like you should! I am not going to leak the deatils out of what we have planned for you, until we were ready to have you participate. I do however have to ask ALL ships to please go through all of your threads and collect any fanart, fan fictions, links, posts and points made that support your ship. You have until Saturday morning 12am EST and then all ship threads will be sent into retirement. You will be able to have new shipping threads, but they are to be kept spam-free and NOT have aggressive names such as "War Room". Call them whatever you wish.. the Maiko's and Soko's seem to be creative. Follow their lead. You will still have plenty of time and a place to chat about.. We won't deny you that. When your ship has completed gathering their information, please post in this thread so a mod can take note that you are ready. Now, get yourselves worked up and ready for the shipping experiences you always wanted!

I see. I'm sure you mods and admins have made a good decision about this. I can't wait to see what you have planned.

zukoxme@ Reread her post with your eyes open, silly head. There will be ship threads bu no "War Rooms" etc. Just Tea Rooms, Saloons, whatever the ehack you want to call them, as long as they're not aggressively named.

Why do they need room names at all? I rather like the name I came up with for the Yuokka pairing.

I'm just moving it all to a text file and rearranging everything. When it comes time to have the new rooms, I'm hoping that the Yuokka one will be even better!

Save your links Beefcake to notepad.. and categorize them. When the time comes and you're ready to make your first post in the new sparkly clean Relationship Board, you can post them as a list or do what the Soko's have done by displaying images and listing other forms of media as external links. And to answer Growly.. The names are fun really. It is easier if all ships did include the name of the ship(ie. Zutara, Kataang) so that it is identifiable for everyone. We just do not want aggressive names like 'War Room'. Those names served a purpose long ago before many of the current shippers became DH members. The purpose of making these changes are to: - Organize fanwork devoted to specific ships - Get shippers to interact with one another - Reduce the amount of spam in the Relationship Board - Give all shippers something to look forward to that is fun and creative I already said the staff on DH will not disclose what we have in store for you all. It's nothing bad, so don't worry. Consider it more like a gift from us to all of you.

Besides, it gives me a chance to stretch my legs with the one room I'm actually working with (I may also do the Ursroh and Zukaang rooms in a bit). One thing that always bothered me about most of the rooms was the general lack of order and arrangement - something I mean to correct. I'm also taking advantage of the move to hold a contest for the Yuokka thread so we'll have an official banner.

I'm glad you are enthusiastic about Growly. With the popularity of Avatar growing, more and more members are joining DH. Not everyone knows about shipping or what is so appealing about certain pairings. Showing them what the fandom for a ship has created and readily having fanfics, videos and manipulations available will give them a better idea.. and help them decide what pairing they like best. For the existing shippers here on DH, it's good to have a single reference point of your ships favorite things. We have so much talent right here in DH, those that create fanart should have a single place to display their work so everyone can easily access it.
