RAF Reunion!

In an effort to revitalize our beloved forum, we are looking to have a RAF Reunion! What is this? This is where we try to encourage old member to return, while making an effort to make RAF a more awesome and fun place for old and new members alike!

What do we need from you?

Well, aside from your presence (on RAF, in Chat, on skype) of course, we are hoping to get as many old RAFians as we can for a couple days next month (March 15-16, coinciding with March's RAF Party). Staff will be doing our best to get the word out via various social networking channels, but you can help, too! Poke RAFians you talk to or have on Facebook or however you can get ahold of people. The more people we have, the better!

You can see more on this and other ideas we're throwing around to get RAF more active again here! We also have a brainstorming thread for ideas on events and activities we can host on RAF, which you can find here. And a thread trying to organize a big RAFcon for 2015 here!

What RAF Generation are you?

Richard's Animorphs Forum is old.

RAF is so old, RAFians (members) come and go like members of a family. Depending on how long you have been on RAF shows not only your love for Animorphs, but for our Animorphs community.

Enter RAF Generations. An ongoing project to group our members by RAF age.

Let's say you joined RAF (now Classic) in 2003, that means you're a part of a very elite set of RAFians who joined in the same year we began. You'll be in Generation 1. You'd probably be surprised to know that a few members from Generation 1 are still active, Richard, Ash and Asmo just to name a few.

Now let's say you just joined our awesome community. You'll be in Generation 19. That's right, over 18 generations have passed in 10 years. Now the methodology on categorizing generations prior to 2010 is not an exact science (it depends on if you remember posting around the same time as other RAFians). However since January 2010 a new generation begins every 6 months.


Interested in learning more? Interested in which generation you fall under?

Visit the RAF Generations main thread and join the the discussion.

Audiobook Revival Auditions

Hey, RAFians, how would you like to be a part of a truly awesome project? Now's your chance! The Animorphs Audiobook Project is back, and it needs your help!

Think you'd make a good Ax? Or maybe you've got what it takes to voice Visser 3? Mr. Guy36 is currently holding auditions for the roles of Ax, Visser Three, and Chapman. Click here to get the information and submit your auditions.

Be sure to keep an eye on the Audiobooks Project in the coming months for updates. I know I will be!

The Revitalaissance has begun!

RAFians, it's time. What would you like to see from RAF? What direction do you want this community to take? What projects do you want us to tackle? What fun things do you want to do? What cool things do you want to draw our attention to? What could RAF offer that you'd find exciting?

The discussion is open to anyone who wants to join in, and any and all thoughts are welcome! Click here to lend your ideas to the pile!

Thought-Speak: An Animorphs Podcast!

Guess what? Some guys (Mitchell and Coleman) have an awesome thing going on: a well produced Animorphs podcast that's re-reading and discussing the Animorphs series.

This is perfect for those who are nostalgic about Animorphs, and those who are into podcasts.

So far there is only 1 episode, The Invasion (feed) however their website suggests book #2, The Visitor is on the way.

See their thread on RAF to discuss.

Scott, our new Social Staff member!

RAF introduced the Social Staff team back in 2011 to keep fellow RAFians engaged with our small Animorphs community.

Today, I am pleased to announce that Scott/Aluminator has joined the Social Staff team, joining Ash, and newly-promoted leader, Steph. 

I look forward to working with him, and bringing his ideas to life. 

Welcome aboard again Scott!

RAF Turns 10!

Today, May 23, marks RAF's tenth anniversary! Ten years ago today, RAF classic opened its "doors" to members, and (as you hopefully know by now) has been going strong ever since!

It seems like there are a lot of forums out there--of all types--that start out and never make it very long. Yet here RAF is, ten years in and a good twelve years after the last Animorphs book came out.

Thank you guys for keeping this place going for so long. Thank you for the insanity, the RAF Parties, the RAFcons, the friendships, and all the other good stuff y'all have made possible.

On that note: A reminder that the current RAF Party will be going until the end of the day on the 29th (EST)!

Let's Get The Party Started!

That's right, RAFians. If you didn't catch the Announcement already, RAFparties are back online!


If you're new to the forum, RAFparties are a great way to integrate into the community. Make some connections and keep the conversation going with insane posting sprees on all boards. There's lots to do, as always - join an RP to enjoy fast paced action, catch up on all things Animorphs or make time fly by engaging in all sorts of games in the Bored Board.


Join us on the third weekend of every month, starting from September - let the insantiy commence!

Happy Independence Day!

Or as I like to call it "American Fireworks Day" or "Day We Totally Let Those Bloody Yanks Win Because We Knew One Day Their Country Would Make Perfect Fried Chicken." :P

Seriously though hope you all have a fun day celebrating the birth of your surprisingly young country. Eat some apple pie, wave the flag, drink some booze and blow stuff up (preferably not all at the same time) or whatever it is you guys do. Happy Independence Day all!

RAF's 9th Birthday!

Tomorrow May 23, 2012 will mark RAF's 9th birthday.

In celebration, we're having a RAF Party!

Don't know what a RAF Party is? Essentially, a RAF Party is a day when we gather on the forum and the RAF Chat, post and have a little fun. RAF parties are especially fun because all posts on the forum, including the Bored Board, count toward your post count.

Things should start at 12am EST.

Thank you to all you guys for keeping RAF going for the last nine years.  Hopefully we'll be around for many years to come!
