Let's Make a Start
G'day ladies and gentlemen, shinobi and kunoichi. Welcome to TONFA in its next incarnation.
I'd like to infinitely extend my gratitude to Priest for setting up one of the best and freest places to express one's creativity in its many Naruto forms. I'm not kidding! I've been around a lotta fandoms and there are few that allow X-rated, writing essays, art in stories, character bios and many more features so if you haven't thanked her yet, do so. I personally want to thank her for the opportunity to be the next to carry the torch for the archives.
So here be the introductions. I'm Bushtuckapenguin, and to my left is Tammy-Chan. Although I haven't posted much I am a huge fan of all of you as when I was in the field of the Simpson Desert every time I hit a small town I logged on and saved as many of your stories as possible to keep me sane. To find myself in a position of responcibility is a delight and I hope to establish any number of features to keep you happy and coming back for more.
The first of these is reestablishing The Forums. At the moment they are cheap but if I see them become popular I'll see what other features I can add. I certainly hope you find them useful because I find the best way to improve your writing is to bounce of others -BOUNCE AWAY!
That brings me to our second feature, most of which explained in greater details on the forums so I can hear your opinions, objections and suggestions. The first will be refining of the rules, mostly to go along with our second change- The Navigation. I suspect that since the archives were first established trends of changed and the goal is to separate some of the emerging categories that have since been defined.
Which brings me to our third topic, new moderators to make the transition smooth for any coming changes. I'll be looking to promote at least one per category. The people I'll be looking for will have a proven literary grasp in their stories, active in the forum and reviews and a clear understanding that everyone has to start somewhere, so why not give them a boost along the way.
As I said, more info in the forums. I look forward to working and hearing from you,
Cheers and Inspiration,
Tucka

Yey! Well it is good to hear that you are making changes for the better - I look forward to seeing what you do with the place X3
I love the forums idea too by the way! I'm number seven! Yes! One of my suggestions (as if you hadn't thought of it already) would be to place a link to the forums on the quick bar at the top of the page; maybe next to "Most recent" or something!
Well, good to hear from the new admin! I'm sure you will be fabulous!

I'm relatively new to this site, but I can honestly say that this is my favorite archive to post in.
I really look forward to the new changes, and I can't wait to try them out!

Excellent ideas! I'm happy to hear that you've got everything under control (and that we've got forums again, haha). I haven't posted much of anything here in a ridiculously long while, but I still drop in relatively frequently. Feel free to drop a note by me- I've been around this site for a while.
Good luck with the running of the site!

Hey, I read this this morning and put this in my daily report Fic..if you want you can read it...

i' glad your gonna make changes 4 the better! dont do any thing too drastic though! i think "OC" should be in the characters catagory cuz some people don't like to read about OC's, but some people prefer it, so you can easily sea if there is an OC or not...
Luv, shadowdragon
