Happy Spring, Smash Academy! Birds, bees, and a gajillion pink flower petals are in the air, along with a lot of pollen too. And few minor RULE CHANGES so please read!

• AIM is no longer REQUIRED, but we will require at least one reliable method of contact.

• Players who repeatedly drop from the game will have to wait three weeks before they can app back in. If it is your first time dropping the game and you suddenly change your mind, you do not have to wait to app back in, but we don't want that to become a bad habit!

• And starting next week, app reviews/weekly modchats will be done on Monday nights. This is entirely Kat's fault you can blame her.


And... that's about it, really! You can read about it in more detail on our Rules page. Bigger rule changes changes may be on their way in the upcoming weeks.

We mentioned moving to a new wiki, and while that process has been a little slow, and there are a few pages still in que to be transferred over/rebuilt, we feel it's quite ready enough for everyone to use it. So please, have at it, and let us know if you have any special requests, questions or problems.

Status update on our character tags: you might recall as we moved over to DW we decided to experimentally change the style of tags for [community profile] smashacademy. However, try as we might, we just can't get these cool layered-style tags to work with Pix's beautiful layout. SO, we're changing them back. We apologize for any inconvenience and confusion, but sometime soon you should see smashacademy's tags match up with smash-log's tags again, and they'll stay that way. The profile pages of our communities will be updated accordingly once we make the switch. If you see any ERRORS or TYPOS please don't hesitate to let us know. Or! If you are interested in helping us with this endeavor, that would be pretty swank too. Just ask and we'll let you know what you can do.

That's most of the dry stuff, so here's some IC things: Smash's SPRING BREAK will be April 15th-28th, so mark it on your calendar and go forth and personals with it. Two weeks might seem like a lot, but that should give everyone plenty of time to get in any wild and crazy spring break road trips to Big Blue or Pop Star or Planet Beach in, in addition to our very anticipated Fourth Wall Event.

We're still ironing out the details (and graduation dates; sometime late May), so stay tuned for another mod post. We know that's exciting stuff, so thank you for being patient.

A little bit more immediate in your future, keep your eyes peeled for an open mall log this weekend involving bunny outfits and butts in laps. Until then, are still some really awesome logs and things going on that you should check out!

We've had a lot of AWESOME NEW CHARACTERS and AWESOME NEW BLOOD come in recently, so you guys should go roll call them greet them, and we've also had AWESOME MEMES in [community profile] smash_random lately, so let's keep them coming this month too! Speaking of Random, check out the WOTM, and also suggest a creative theme here. While you're in creative, you should totally check out these beautiful Smash Character References, and contribute to them if you feel so inclined!


On a more serious note, it is with a heavy heart that we must announce some grave news regarding our dear friend and player, Helena.

It is a sensitive subject, but please, read on. )
