Changes to Life Points and Other Things
As of November 10th, we will no longer be accepting LP requests from threads that were finished more than 6 months ago. We'd like to encourage our members to stay up to date/on top of their character's life points, as long back-logs of LP requests are cumbersome and quite a bit of work for our staff. We feel that 6 months is adequate time to claim for any finished thread. Threads archived more than 6 months ago will not be eligible for LP.
In addition to that, threads that are revived from Incompleted Relic Lore will only be eligible for life points if the lapse in time between the last post of the incompleted thread and the added end post is no more than 2 months. Threads that go 2+ months without an ending that are eventually revived to be finished will still be eligible for LP if the thread was not near completion and there are multiple posts being done to finish the thread. You may still "undead" threads in order to one-post-finish them as you like, but if it's been 2 months you just won't get LP. The logic behind this is that if a thread has sat dead for 2+ months, there must be little interest in the thread or commitment to finishing it, and reviving it months and months later would only be to get LP. The staff would like to encourage people to finish a thread for the story's sake, not for the sake of LP. Once more though, we would like to stress that you may still finish incomplete threads and this change to the rule in no way changes that.
