Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Bellview High is an inner city high school like any other. There's crime, there's drama, there's young love, and there's pressure. Four years doesn't seem like a long time to most, but four years at Bellview can make or break you. Welcome to New York.

RULES! « Thread Started on Feb 10, 2009, 2:20pm »
THE RULES
first of all , take a look around the site, ask questions if you have any then if you decide to join us, make sure you register with a first, middle and last name all in LOWERCASE please. we won't mind changing your name if you made a mistake, but its just less hassle if you get it right first time okay.
as popular as 'no app' sites are, we are not one of them. we do expect an application to be filled out before you start roleplaying. our application template is really simple and is mainly judged on your roleplay example.
please, please, please, please, please, please do not bug us admins about accepting you. we both have lives, school, busy days. we will get to it as soon as possible. we're usually quite efficient with accepting you, but if we're not, just wait patiently. don't worry we'll definitely get to you!
there's no limits on how many characters you can have, however if your not active with one we will open it up with no warning of doing so. so if your going to have multiple characters make sure you keep them all active! we do want to keep the character ratios appropriate, though, so if you're going to take multiple characters, please make sure you have a guy. you can have three girls, but before you make a fourth, YOU MUST MAKE A GUY. it's not that hard and sites are always in need of them.
canons and originals are accepted. we'd love our canons to be all filled up. however, originals are definitely, if not more so welcomed than anything!
if you do have any questions, please ask. we don't bite!
your characters & posting , no one's perfect. not everyone has rich parents, jaw dropping looks, is really smart and really popular. remember, your imperfections are your perfections!
so, yes, that means no mary-sue's or gary-stu's!
now powerplay/godmodding. that means taking control of someone else's character. come on, thats so old school now right? you should know that!
PAST TENSE FTW! seriously. no first person. if there is i'll release the hounds.
no one liners.
please post in paragraphs. paragraphs are five - ten lines. can you count? i can. if i see anyone posting silly three line paragraphs, i'll be a pregnant dog and say your illiterate xP kidding, if your post is made up entirely of paragraphs like that i will say something, but if its one paragraph in your post, then i'm cool with that.
spelling & grammar. use a spell check, pretty please?
although this board is advanced, i'm very understandable that everyone has to start somewhere. some people post eight paragraphs, others three. don't feel intimidated. we'll love you all the same (:
no chatspeak. i want to say at all...its so 2005. but in aim threads i'll let you off.
graphics , the only playbys we don't accept are random myspace people. thats just not cool man. please use celebritys. that makes it easier to participate in the games section of the board.
i know everyone loves using blake lively, sophia bush, leighton meester and the rest, but please. just because your favourite playby is gone doesn't mean you shouldn't give this site a chance! there's plenty of people to plot with!
if you need playby help for an original don't hesitate to ask the people in the cbox for assistance. we're always happy to help with that stuff, as well as name help!
graphics for your signature, yes, i know not everyone has a graphics program. but do not ask people in the cbox, just make a request and wait for it to be filled.
if someone does make you something, its only polite to credit them in your INTERESTS
and don't steal someone's graphics. thats definitely not cool
cbox rules , talk to us! seriously. that is a rule. come and talk to us! (:
don't be rude or start bashing people. no stupid derogatory comments. just be nice, its not that hard!
don't character monger. thats what the wanted boards are for, fool.
do not spam it. that sucks, for reals.
the beautiful ending , do not be annoying i bet your thinking what kind of crack pot rule is that but its a serious one. i do not want to see people getting constantly pm'd to roleplay or plot - its annoying. and i definitely do not want to see people nagging about a graphics request they've made, or a character they need. seriously guys. its just annoying and not cool.
respect the admins. seriously guys. we made this place, put a lot of hard work and time into it, time that could've been spent sexing xD just respect us, its not hard.
this is a mature rated board. so if you don't own a tv and have no idea what sex is or what alcohol is or what drug abuse is, this isn't the board for you. here we have a bunch of crazy teens in a boarding school a lot of mature stuff is going to happen. if you like that stuff then your a pervert in the right place!
oh, if your one of those people who only plot with people that are in the same tv show or movies as your characters playby then please grow up. there's nothing wrong with hayden pattinere being the girlfriend of daniel radcliffe. i mean jeez, we're not all snobs right? i understand photo opportunities are cool but broaden your horizons a bit.
LAST ONE NOW! HAVE A LOTS OF FUN. thats what roleplaying is after all. a hobby. SO HAVE FUN!
