This post is to collectively thank all those who donated to Richard's Animorphs Forum in 2010.

1. PATridge In A Pear Tree
2. Stephquiem 
3. Myitt
4. Adam
5. Alex Oiknine

RAF Chat

Just a reminder (or maybe an awareness) that your friendly forum has RAFChat, a handy little communication tool that you can use to talk in real time to your fellow forummates. I would LOVE to talk to all of you in there!

But remember, you need to sign up separately from RAF to access this. Go to this link to get started.

-Adam

Thanks to Adam for his 8th Donation!

Adam Donates for a Record 8th Time

Yes, you read that right, Adam, you know, "Grimluk" has donated for a whopping EIGHTH time! Not only is this impressive because he has donated the most times, but he has donated the most amount in dollars.

This donation now firmly places him at #1 on the RAF Donor Leaderboard, a position that he held since March 2009. With the additional 50 karma points, Adam moves up to #4 as the most Karma'd RAFian.

Adam would like to remind us all that yes, he's still alive, and he will be back.

Thanks Adam!

Scholastic's Press Release on Animorphs Re-Release

Scholastic to Re-Launch the Wildly Popular Animorphs Books by Bestselling Author K.A. Applegate in May 2011


More than 35 million books in print of original series


New York, NY — December 9, 2010 — Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, announced today that it will re-launch K.A. Applegate’s bestselling “Animorphs” series in May 2011. Each book will be published with a lenticular cover that actually morphs.

Since the first Animorphs book was published in June 1996, the brand has grown to include 54 books, two spin-off series and ten companion books—totaling more than 35 million books in print worldwide. In addition, the Scholastic Media-produced television series was sold to 35 countries globally and aired on Nickelodeon in the United States. The Animorphs series empowers kids with the desire, skills and supernatural abilities to achieve such noble virtues as heroism, loyalty and respect for nature’s creatures—all while engulfed in an urgent quest to save the world from evil.

"I am thrilled at the re-launch of Animorphs," said K.A. Applegate. "Animorphs had far more impact on readers than I ever expected. Animorphs fan sites and works of fan fiction number in the thousands even today. Every library I visit has the old tattered copies, some now barely held together with glue and tape. So I'm very excited at the chance to retire those dog-eared old books, to ratify the enduring faith of the die-hard fans, and most of all, to reach a whole new generation of readers. The invasion is on, the Yeerks are everywhere, and the only ones who can stop them are the small band of kids with the power to become any living creature: the Animorphs are back."

"What's amazing is how timely Animorphs continues to be," said Ellie Berger, President of Scholastic Trade. "Now more than ever, kids need to know the importance of taking a stand and fighting for what's right."

Scholastic plans to re-issue new paperback editions of the original Animorphs books starting in May 2011 with Animorphs #1: The Invasion (ISBN: 978-0-545-29151-4), Animorphs #2: The Visitor (ISBN: 978-0-545-29152-1), followed by Animorphs #3: The Encounter (ISBN: 978-0-545-29153-8) in July 2011, Animorphs #4: The Message (ISBN: 978-0-545-29156-9) in September 2011, and Animorphs #5: The Predator in December 2011. In Animorphs #1: The Invasion Earth is being invaded, but no one knows yet. When Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie and Marco stumble upon a downed alien spaceship and its dying pilot, they're given an incredible power—they can transform into any animal they touch. With it, they become Animorphs, the unlikely champions in a secret war for the planet. And the enemies they're fighting could be anyone, even the people closest to them.

500,000 Posts!

There's nothing more satisfying than waking up to see Richard's Animorphs Forum crossing another milestone. This time, RAF Forum (thank to the RAF Party to celebrate this day) passed the 1/2 million (500,000) posts mark.

For reference, our 400,000 posts milestone was passed on May 7, 2010; over six months ago. Interestingly, for the past year, RAF has gained 200,000 posts.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our members; both dormant and active for participating in the Ultimate Animorphs Forum!

Here's to the next 500,000!

RAF Party: 1/2 Million Edition

So tomorrow we are expected to break the 500,000 posts mark on RAF. To celebrate, the 13th of November will be the first RAF Party held in months.

So what is RAF Party:

Both Richard and I (Russell) had the idea that it would be fun to let the bored board count toward your post count one day of out the month. This would be a monthly day for everyone to come and post on RAF, go in RAF chat, break RAF records, and become a forum personality. New comers to the forum are encouraged to make themselves known and old personalities are welcome to post in the Animorphs section for a change.

Perks for posting on RAF Party days:

1. Bored Board counts towards post count.
2. +2 Karma for creating a new thread.

The party will begin on 12:01 am Saturday and end on 12:00 am Sunday November 13-14 EST

Discuss

Thanks to Myitt for her 4th donation!

Myitt ties to become #1 donor!

This is a big one guys: Myitt has donated for the fourth time today, and as a result ties Adam  for the number one spot of biggest RAF donor.

Interestingly enough, Adam has donated seven times and has been #1 since May 2009.

In addition to getting that warm feeling inside when you donate to RAF; Myitt now places 9th on the most karma'd RAFian list thanks to her +50 karma points received.

Thanks again Myitt and congratulations for being tied as RAF's biggest donor!

Thanks to Gaz for her donation!

RAF's Resident Coffee Addicted Pirate, Gaz has, though she has been on RAF for over two years, made her first donation.

As a Silver Donor, Gaz will now have access to the D-Lounge, and has had her karma bumped up by 20 points.

Thanks Gaz!

Thanks to Warren BearClaw for his donation!

Relative newcomer Warren BearClaw has made a major leap in his position; he is now a Silver Donor thanks to his recent donation.

Warren Is the first user to donate since Parker donated back in September.

Warren will now enjoy all the benefits of the Gods, in addition, his karma count has been bumped up by 20.

Thanks Warren!

Appeal to Smiters!

This is a simple plea to everyone who uses our Karma system (applauding and smiting users):

I'm appealing to anyone who disagrees with a post of another to consider whether the post is worthy of being reported to the staff. I say this because I have seen instances where persons are smiting others because they are being rude/offensive or insensitive.

Consider this, if you simply smite the user, he/she will continue to offend or degrade. If the post is reported to a moderator/staff (by simply clicking the Report to Moderator link on each post), the matter can be dealt with more comprehensively. In other words an official complaint is lodged.

In addition, beginning today the administrators will be reviewing each and every smite issued; and the reason why the person was smited. This is being done to ensure persons are not being unfairly reprimanded by other members and to determine whether action should be taken against the person smited.

Thanks guys! Any problem or issue, please feel free to contact the staff.

eBook Distribution

Any discussion of
distribution will be swiftly
dealt with by the staff

As per Scholastic's demands, RAF can no longer sanction the distribution of Scholastic eBooks, nor the implied distribution through other means. We hope that our members will abide by our decisions and will honor Scholastic and RAF's request that the eBooks remain defunct.

Feel free to converse.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thanks to Parker for his 2nd donation!

RAF would like to thank Parker (currently Darth Revan) for donating a second time.

Scholastic's Letter to RAF

Yesterday, I removed the RAF eBooks page of RAF which hosted the Animorphs eBooks and halted the eBook Project started over three (3) years ago. This comes on the heels of a very stern letter sent from a lawyer of Scholastic, the publishers of the Animorphs series.

Though Animorphs has long not been published, RAF, they claim, is infringing on their trademark of "Animorphs", and by having the "unauthorized" Animorphs eBooks online, "creates a likelihood of confusion as to the source of origin of the goods and services you provide and is likely to deceive and confuse customers into believing that (you) are owned or endorsed by Scholastic..."

I have therefore removed the eBoooks, and added a note on the website saying we are not affiliated with Scholastic, and replied to this letter in an attempt to remedy the situation.

What is for certain though, is that we will no longer provide eBooks for the Animorphs series or any Scholastic publication. What we will still continue to provide is a great Animorphs community for the few that still enjoy the series.

Feel free to discuss.

There is a great possibility that in the next week major changes will have to be made to RAF.

More Changes to RAF Donors

Beginning today, there will be not only two ranks for members who donate, but three.

Here's the new breakdown:

Donor ($5-$9.99)
9 Stars -
Position lasts for 6 months - Same as Gods + 1000 personal messages + 10 Karma points + access to D-Lounge

Silver Donor ($10-$49.99)
9 Stars -
Same as Donor + position lasts for 1 year + 20 Karma points

Gold Donor ($50+)
10 Stars -
Same as Silver Donor + unlimited personal messages + 50 Karma Points + gold color + position lasts forever + no advertisements on the forum

So here's what really happened:

1. "Donator" has been renamed to the more conventional "Donor".
2. If you donate less than $10 dollars your position will expire in 6 months.
3. If you donate more than $10 but less than $50 you will get 20 karma points (Silver Donor).
3. Gold Members has been renamed Gold Donors.
All RAF member ranks can be found here: http://animorphsforum.com/ranks. 

What is Animafia?

If you were wondering how to play, here's a bit more details about our forum's Animafia game.

(Ani)mafia is played by a group of RAFians on either the mafia or the civilian's team - along with a game moderator. Certain members may also be given special roles, such as the medic or the cop.

At the beginning of the game, the moderator gives everybody their roles (via pm), which must be kept secret.  During the night, the mafia  decide who to kill off and the special roles get to perform their abilities. When day breaks, the town can lynch someone they suspect to be mafia by means of voting. The game continues, alternating between night and day, until one side is eliminated.


Here's a link to the board and more detailed rules.

Thanks to Intrepid for her donation!

Being one of our most ancient of RAF Elders, Intrepid is one of the few members who can claim to have been a RAFian even longer than myself (by a whole 2 days I believe). Though some of our newer members may know little of her awesomeness, she is a valuable part of RAFhistory and we are privileged to still have her around. Why not follow her shining example and donate to RAF yourself? Every little helps! :)

Thanks again Intrepid!

Thanks to Lignum for his donation!

New-comer, and by that I mean; he hasn't even posted yet, lignum has donated. He will now enjoy all the benefits of Gods, plus the ability to store 1,000 personal messages. He has also been awarded 10 karma and now has access to the D-Lounge.

You too can donate by visiting RAF Donate.

Thanks lignum! I hope you enjoy it here on The Ultimate Animorphs Forum!

Best Day EVER on RAF eBooks

Yesterday I tweeted that our Animorphs (Everworld, and Remnants) eBooks section of Richard's Animorphs Forum, aptly titled RAF eBooks was witnessing a surge of users coming from the popular website reddit.com (link to the reddit link). That surge resulted in 75 users being recorded as online on our Forum. This number is a new record; two weeks to the day that 74 members broke the previous record of most users online.

That is only one part of the story. What members were actually flocking were our eBooks pages. Here are the numbers for RAF eBooks yesterday provided by StatCounter:

1. Pageloads: 11,188

2. Unique Visitors: 4,101

3. First Time Visitors: 3,590

4. Returning Visitors: 511

See those statistics in bold? Those are all-time records.

Yesterday, I received an email from the authors of Animorphs, Remnants, and Everworld (just to name a few) updating me, and subsequently the entire forum on the Animorphs re-release and future in the eyes of the publisher: Scholastic. They also want our help!

Here is part of the email:

Katherine and I have some information we'd like to share, and a favor we'd like to ask.

Not sure if you've heard this yet but ANIMORPHS will be re-issued in spring/summer 2011. That is definite and official.

An editor at Scholastic is combing the first two books for outdated references, sending suggested fixes, and asking us to approve. Which we've now done.

Scholastic will re-cover the books using something called a lenticular cover. So far as we know it's just the first 2 books, then I guess they'll wait and see how sales go before issuing more.

Scholastic has asked us to prepare a small video to show at the sales meeting in early August. We realized that the sales people probably don't really know what ANIMORPHS has meant to so many people. So we wondered whether RAF participants might be interested in sending us some brief video clips just saying what ANIMORPHS has meant to them. ...

Where Do Donations Go?

As per a thread that was created in the Staff Lounge; along with outright requests to 'see the books', it seems like persons want to know where their donations are going. Fair enough.

As I have said many times before, RICHARD'S ANIMORPHS FORUM, because we moved from a free, remotely-hosted system, started to become dependent on funds for upkeep.

Here are a list of common expenses:

1. Domains: 7 domains are currently paid for and being run under RAF.

2. Servers: 2 shared servers are used by RAF. Server /host related costs fluctuate. We are charged for backups for instance.

3. Software: RAF from time to time purchases software for users to use, or for development purposes.

4. Advertising: a forum without members is not a forum after all. I use paid services to promote RAF. This is the biggest expense outside of regular expenses.

For definite purposes, here's a list of actual numbers: you can see how each month will fluctuate in income and expenses.

April 2010
Expenses - $30
Donations - $104.19

May 2010
Expenses - $33.49
Donations - $23.11

June 2010 (So far)
Expenses - $57.1
Donations - $0

A little something to note. As we get bigger, the bigger the servers will need to be. Next year it is expected that server costs will triple per month.
