Are you a New Member?

I am making out this blog post to all the newer members out there (older members are allowed to use this too)! First I would like to Welcome you to RAF! This is the Ultimate Animorphs Forum.

I have composed a short list of helpful things that you may want to look at and/or use and/or do, so here we go!

1. Introductions and Departures Sub-Forum

This is probably the first place you should go if you have recently joined, or just want the other forum members to get to know you better! You make your own thread, talking about yourself and who you are! This is really the only way to make sure that all the members have a chance to get to know you. This is a "Sub-Forum" of the "RAF Social" board.

2. Member Profiles Sub-Forum

After you have created your Introduction, you may want to create a 'Member Profile' for yourself. This is your own topic where you can basically make blog posts, post pictures for the forum, answer questions asked by other RAFians in your thread, and more! This is also a "Sub-Forum" of the "RAF Social" board. NOTE: A good example is Richard's Member Profile.

3. Attend a RAF Chat Meet & Greet

This is a great idea for any member, new or old! A RAF Chat Meet & Greet is basically what i see as sort of "Dinner Party" at which the members of RAF can mingle and talk with other RAFians and get to know everyone better. Held in the RAF Chat, it allows New members to meet Veteran members and vice versa. Also, Richard has shown up on occasion so you can get to know the Creator of RAF a little better.

4. Read the rest of the Animorphs Series

If you haven't finished the series (missing books, pages, etc.), then I would STRONGLY recommend that you DON'T enter the Animorphs Discussions yet. You may ruin the ending for yourself and that isn't fun at all. But have no fear, for the eBooks are here! RAF, the original uploaders of the eBooks, has them available for download here. Best part: they are FREE!! Every Animorphs book (also has the Vegemorph book, a parody) is available for download either as PDF or in a ZIP file.

5. Get involved in a RAF Project

There is no easier way to feel included, than to become involved. RAF has many projects on the go, from recording the Audiobooks, fixing the eBook errors, creating Smilies/Emoticons, creating the Animorphs Graphic Novel, and many more. Go here to see the RAF Projects board and get involved in one!

5. GET OUT AND POST

While we do allow lurkers (and have created a member class for such people), we much prefer posters. There are may topics on RAF spanning a very wide range of subjects, so it's very easy to find something to suit your fancy.


Well I do hope this little guide (that isn't finished I bet, and i'll probably come out with a 2nd Edition in the near future) has helped you figure out what to do next, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to PM me, and ask me!

Back for some more Blogging Action!!

Hey guys!! It's the manager of your space-time continuum, The Ellimist!!

...But you can call me Adam. Most of you know me already, but in case you don't, here's a quick re-cap of some stuff i've done on RAF:

1. Joined way back when... (a long time ago)
2. Became a staff member on RAF Classic
3. Subsequently became a Co-Admin on RAF Classic (helping Richard out with a few things)
4. Brought Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant to RAF (to answer some of our questions)
5. Donated money to RAF (its a good investment)
6. Posted on RAFBlog! (right now)

But enough about me. More about what my blog posts will include. My blog posts will most likely include updates from Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant, as I am in contact with them regularly via e-mail. Actually, i'm trying figure out a new way of asking them questions, like maybe ask everyone for their questions, RAF's Staff sort them out (get rid of the silly ones), and then I e-mail the completed list to KA & MG. I don't know!! Haha! Just an idea, i've got tons more too!!

If you have any ideas, please either tell me in comments (Estelore would probably like that), or PM me. Either way i'll read it and consider it, and maybe even reply. But Please... Don't give me questions. I'm not ready for them yet.

Thanks for reading!!!

My regards,
Adam, A.K.A. Ell¡m¡st

introducing me

Hello everyone! My name's morfowt, as many of you might already know. I'm one of the youngest members of RAF, but I've spent more time on RAF than almost any other RAFian.

I'll mostly post stats and updates on the RAFparties (if you don't know what they are, you seriously need to attend one). If you have some of your own stats or things that, you believe, deserve to be noted, and that I've possibly missed, you can either PM them or email them to me at morfowt@gmail.com , and yes i'll most likely miss some because the second day of an RAFparty occurs when I'm at school (because I'm currently living in china).

Your New Blogger

Hello my fellow RAFians!

I hope your winter break is going well. As some of you already know, I'm Touquie. I've been an active member on RAF for just over a year now and I intend on staying for as long as possible.

I'll be bringing you some RAFlicious news now and then to keep you informed on what's happening. If you have any suggestions, or just want to contact me you can shoot me an e-mail at Touquie.RAF@gmail.com

Welcome

I never was the one to post a weblog, but I would like to give RAFers the advantage of having inside information with regards to the forum, and my semi-personal life.

Watch this space for information regarding RAF, and my general 
observations surrounding the forum.
