I've recently renamed the OOC Disccusion folder to the Drawing Board to better fit the theme of the Backstage category. The description is good enough to explain what the Drawing Board is to be used for.

This notice also stands as a reminder that there are other sections of this forum beyond Staff Bulletins, General Discussion, and the Bitch Fest. The whole of the Fireboard Forum is segregated into three basic categories.

General - Which could be renamed to something like Player's Corner or something like that. I'm open to suggestions. This includes the three main boards listed above that most people use the most frequently.

Storytelling - is for all your actual RP and works the same way that GreaterRealms dose. Interactive Stories is for virtually anything anywhere. Ubiquitous Realms houses a small number of child boards moderated by specific individuals. This folder may also be used to start creating the foundations for hopeful future child boards dedicated to particular locations and/or realms. In the Spotlight also works well for this purpose. Though it is a board restricted for solo stories. Unlike Interactive Stories which are essentially play-by-post endeavors.

Backstage - Here the discussions are intended to be directly related to role-play. Game Announcements may be used to essentially make an announcement about an upcoming event. These events may be likewise posted on the Mutual Endeavors calendar located on the front page of our site. Drawing Board may be used for discussions concerning collaborating on a particular story elsewhere on the forums. This is for people who may not want to or are otherwise incapable of using private messages or e-mail. Character Portfolio is for those people wanting to start a fan-club for their own or other characters. It pretty much speaks for itself, as does Praise & Props.

Hopefully this explains things to people who may be uncertain or reluctant to ask questions.
