RBC's community dynamics have changed quite a bit since Discord became the most popular RP platform. Discord servers are convenient for short-form, rapid-fire RP, but largely fall short on long-form RP. Having many separate servers has its benefits, but also certain drawbacks - specifically with regard to how spread out everything has become. Ab Antiquo will be reorganizing over the next few weeks in the hopes of filling the gap between these varied servers and shifting its focus to provide a creative space for things such as long-form RP, character sheets, and community resources.

The first step towards this is a whole-scale reorganization of the forum.

We also have a slight adjustment to face claims. Firstly, the list has been made accessible without the need to log into the forum (this is something I thought I did years ago, but I did not - derp). Secondly, the face claim thread will be renamed "Play-by Catalogue." Thirdly, community collaboration!

Recently there has been some confusion about how the list here on Ab is updated. A Discord server had opted to use a version of Ab's 'face claim' list on their server; as the list was directly taken from and credited to Ab, many community members thought the list was reciprocal, and that updates to one version were made to the other - it was not. In the confusion, dual claims on a model were made, leading to unnecessary drama. Nobody wants this. In a bid to foster community cohesion, Ab Antiquo is now offering a server liaison program. Any server wishing to provide a model list/update channel can do so by connecting with Ab Antiquo and appointing a designated liaison. These liaisons will be authorized to post model claims on behalf of community members in their Discord servers who may not wish to participate in the forum (but are always welcome to do so!). Any model list claims made through a partner server's model list channel will be cross-posted here, and these servers will reference the Ab Antiquo Play-by Catalogue that is now accessible with one click to any member of the community!

Any servers wishing to use the Liaison Program are welcome to get in touch to set up their liaisons!

Ab Antiquo Staff can be reached through PM on the board OR through our Discord server https://discord.gg/AhPEzkJyA4

UPDATE:
Usergroups have been condensed. We have merged the fully powered and fledgling roles into a single Citizens role (same permissions apply - there were never any permission differences between FP/fledge roles, just a colour!). Humans still have their own role for RP purposes :)
