An activity check is taking place. It ends February 25, so please get to it! After that, expect a Staff Hiring, and then a massive clean out. Thank you all for your endless patience, and I hope you all decide to stay strong with us through this rough spot.

A lot has been happening, yet at the same time, nothing. I'm sad to announce the departure of one of our moderators, Evkav. Schedules are tight right now, but I'm going to try and hold an audition soon, along with an activity check, [hopefully] a contest, and a spring cleaning. Thank you for your endless patience and devotion!

I apologize greatly for the delay in, pretty much, everything. We're trying to wrap up the Secret Santa thing, and I'm going through the shop now. I dropped the price for Colored Usernames, since 20 points a color seems a bit much, especially since it's charged per character (for gradients). If you messaged me with questions/comments/anything, I will be replying today! I hope to see everyone back soon from the little slump (partially my fault, I'm sorry!) soon, thank you! New Skin! NONE OF THEM, made by our lovely Embers <3

It seems both packs are reering up and trying to keep their member count steady. Both the Luxe and the Claudius alphas have started pack meetings in order to swap around ranks and to make sure that all the pack members are active. The Luxe meeting can be located here and the Claudius meeting is here. Please make sure that if you have characters in either of these packs to respond to the meeting threads. PMs should have been sent to all of these people. If you are a member of one of these packs and did not get a PM please respond to the meeting anyway. Thank you!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! As you can all see, Christmas has come to Broken! To celebrate this, I will be holding a Secret Santa event for all you awesome members. You can find all the information about that here. I hope you all decide to join in on the festivities and have a very Merry Christmas!

I have basically just noticed that I've never made an announcement before, despite being staff here for a while. So, for my first ever announcement I have the most awesome one ever. Happy Birthday to Broken! -sings- We have a totally awesome make-something-cool-competition over yonder. So everyone should go and enjoy Broken being three years old. And to Zephyr and Embers, you two have been amazing admins on this place and you have both done incredibly well, as have all of the staff here and on the previous two sites. Congrats on a brilliant site!

New Skin! It's called * WINTER, and it is greatly appreciated if you switch over! Tell me what you think, and please let me know if you see something wrong, it's too blinding, or there is a default Proboards image I have yet to remake :3 Also, I'll be catching up on everything today. EDIT: A new rule was added here regarding your biography titles. Please modify all of your bios accordingly!
november thirteenth at 7:19pm by zephyr
So we're having a discussion regarding some new changes I'd like to put on the site. Please join us there!
november fifth at 11:24pm by zephyr
The scavenger hunt has officially ended, and those who have not received their prizes will be messaged shortly. Thank you! The new species will be added to the shop today, so be excited! If you have any ideas how to boost activity and interest, please message me! Those who do will receive 500 points.

So the ever dramatic Species Introduction thread has reached an unofficial conclusion, which, if you didn't expect the answer, you can find I have posted. You can expect the results to take place around November, and I'll be preparing the site for their introduction. Also, if you have or haven't noticed, the tabbed table has been acting up, so I'm going to have to actually put a better effort into it, since I feel like I slapped it together with some rudimentary coding (aka, i was lazy).
In other news, expect things to happen this Saturday xD And I'd like to say welcome back Outlaw!!

The activity check has officially ended, and all members have been cleaned out. If you replied, you are safe - but if you did not reply you were deleted regardless of any previous notes. This was a complete clean sweep. Now I'm going to clean out the boards, so if something of yours was moved and you want it out, just send me a message. If you were deleted, your characters are still saved, so if you want to return, a staff member can get your characters code for you.
Edit IC boards have been cleaned out. All threads started by a deleted person, or had not been replied to in October, have been moved to the archives.
october first at 10:15am by zephyr
HAPPY OCTOBER!! I hope everyone is loving school and such, and that things are settling in completely. I know we're going through a little slump - but that's okay! I'm going to be doing a lot to bring us back up, starting with the completion of the boards, which are pretty much there, I just have to figure out how to tweak them a little more. Things you can look foreword to: activity check, Halloween scavenger hunt, some surprise new boards, and some more organization stuff. If you sent me a suggestion that hasn't been tended to, PLEASE RESEND THEM, with only saying your suggestion, make sure to title it SUGGESTION. THANK YOU!!
september eighteenth at 12:18pm by zephyr
I understand that the "Revamp" notices have been up a while now, and I do apologize that things are going very slow. I'm waiting on some help from Proboards Support on the boards coding, but no replies yet. Oh well xD If nothing soon, I'll just do something else with them.
september third at 8:13pm by zephyr
Well it's not quite done yet, but the tabbed table is getting closer to completion. Now, instead of there only being one announcement at all time, I've made it so we'll just keep all of the announcements, so no one is left behind when I post a new one.
september second at unknown time by zephyr
A day late, but the new season has finally begun! Expect with it a shiny new skin - and maybe even a new design! If you have any suggestions that you'd like to see for the new layout, let me know, I'd love to hear your ideas. Expect the changes to happen this weekend, a majority of it will be done tomorrow with luck.

deep dark woods Sometimes an unsuspecting traveler vanishes within the dense dark wood where creatures from the largest of elks to the smallest of mice scavange daily. There are rumors, whispers of a cat clan who claim these forested lands as their own. Only the foolish who dare traverse the twisting trees know for certain, those lucky few who escaped with another tale to tell.
the road in A wide hard flat river of blacken stone flowed effortlessly through the wild lands, leading straight through the heart of town. Occasionally one might see the tumbling remains of a stone wall meant to keep critters off the road of man made asphalt. Have a care of the occasional speeding vehicle, least you become roadkill.
the bridge Following that road one would come across old stones, skillfully placed to form a bridge. The simple yet complicated arch allowed a small stream beneath to flow unchecked, spilling into the wide expanse of the lake.
the lake Tendrils of mist raise high above the serene calm surface of a seemingly placid lake. Towering birch, twisting oaks, and thick ground vegetation crowd the shores, making this a somewhat reclusive body of water. Those skilled in fishing might find a large mouth bass or perhaps even a trout hanging out along the shores, have a care though, you might end up taking a bath.
cole's pasture A white picket fence encircles a large plot of land, those daring enough to cross it's pale borders will find several sheep, goats, and cattle. Even the bravest of brave would hesitate to take these animals as prey, for with the exception of dawn and dusk they are guarded by a canine, whose human isn't far behind. Along the far south side you can just make out the farmhouse and its small barn.
the mine Set half way hidden in the side of a hill one might come across a wide open mouth into the heart of the earth. Steel tracks lead the curious down a long tunnel, the remains of old shovels, and pick axes lay scattered about as a testament that man too had touched this area. One might even find an a vein of glittering gold snaking its way along the carved stone wall.
monte dog park Thick prickly grass in a wide open field, a scattering of young pine for shade encased within the chain links of blacken fence make up the dog park. A place where humans bring their pets to socialize. Tall oaks bump against the fencing giving the park an almost cut off from the rest of the world feel.
the junk yard Twisted metal, towering structures that were so precarious stacked one would think at any moment it would tumble to the earth, line the narrow debris littered pathways of dirt to make up the local junkyard. Tall fencing with barbed wire circle round the property. With the wide metal doors being open only during business hours. Careful about getting locked in at night, the resident canines here aren't to keen on trespassers.
king feral memorial center Up the marble stone steps, and past the massive pillars deep within the open heart of this memorial one would find an image of the town's founder carved deeply into the white stone. A source of pride to the community this is a good place to find a flock of humans at any hour of the day. Warm and welcoming this is a place often used as neutral territory between enemies or rivals to meet civilly.
the public pool A favorite place among the locals, located just off the beaten path on the outskirts of the town one would hear the sound of laughter and splashing waters long before you reach this man-made body of water. But be sure to visit at night if you want to take a dip, once all the human's have gone home, they tend to get picky when it comes to dog hair in the pool.
carnival The carnival is a new attraction that has just been erected in King Feral. The town's people hope that it becomes a famous attraction and that they raise enough money to keep it up permanently. Until then, it is a big hit for this summer, drawing in many humans and strays. The park consists of two roller coasters, a Ferris wheel that overlooks the whole county, and many other fun carnival rides such as a scrambler, the spider, a carousel, many delicious snack stands, and of course game booths. The park opens at nine in the morning and ends at midnight.
walking the streets Foxden is filled with classy estates and middle class houses alike. The houses are well spread out, allowing five to ten acres to each lot. For the strays, there is always a garbage can at the end of driveways, though what it's edible contents may be varies from can to can. Certain houses have food set out on their porches for wandering animals, a sign that some are rather welcoming, though lingering too long isn't recommended.
the van talena mansion In the back of Foxden lies a fifty acre estate on the top of a large hill. In the midst of dense woods and overgrown wild flowers stands the main house, a garden shed, and a barn. The main house has long been abandoned, but it leaves behind a structure untouched by human hands and open to the feral world. While there is no furniture, it does hold ten open bedrooms, three library spaces (empty bookshelves covering the walls) and several bathrooms, fully equipped. The house is two stories high, with several odd entrance holes around the property. claimed by the luxe.
feral mountains Making up the backdrop of our county is a long chain of lush mountains. They are not very tall, but just high enough to get a little snow on the tops all year around. The life on this mountain is mostly made up of mountain goats and wild horses, plus the random foxes or hawks that build their nests on the slopes. claimed by the claudius.
spiderlight cemetery Located south of the town for about a half a mile sits the large cemetery, well known as Spiderlight. The cemetery dates back to the beginnings of the county, probably one of the first pieces of land to actually have structures. There is a surprising amount of graves here, even ones that are unmarked by the traditional grey gravestones that make up the cemetery's decor. The graveyard is surrounded by a tall black iron fence, with a large column arch making up the entrance. In the very back of the cemetery is a good two acres full of large crypts.
king feral golf course Off in the back of King Feral stands the very big golf course, a favorite of the town's male adult residence. The golf course is packed with sand and water traps, graceful hills and fancy wind mills. There is no fence surrounding it, with three sides of the hundred acre area being bordered by the forest that makes up the backdrop of our county. So, the course is generally open to pesty strays and deer, a nice hang out for all.
zoo of exotics Located just a little ways from the golf course is King Feral's very own Zoo of Exotic Animals. The zoo has no external fence, only those that keep the animals in their own exhibits, so for the most part strays are free to wander in and out -though humans still have to pay at the main gate. The zoo holds animals of extreme species, from all areas of the world; tigers, lions, elephants, giraffes, pandas, bears, dolphins, and so on.
great maze garden One of the non-animal prize attractions for the zoo, the garden is located towards the back of the property. It covers a good fifteen acres, with confusing twists and turns that are sure to baffle even the best puzzle-master. Humans are safe, only allowed to enter with a flag -but the wandering animal is not so lucky. The park has found a few dead dogs who couldn't climb to the top of the hedges to find their way out, so caution is advised.
the beach A private paradise for the people of King Feral, the beach is located just a couple miles outside of town. It is only busy during the summer, where it's packed with people and activities. For the other three seasons, it's a desolate haven for the animals of King Feral, where they can go to relax and not be bothered by any of the humans. The beach is about three miles long, with crystal blue water. Towards the north, the waters are crowded with large rocks, making it hard to swim.
the banter board (3 sub-boards) Within this board, one will find the great place where you can discuss freely about anything you want, hold games, polls, debates, anything you'd like! Just keep it PG 13.
graphics (3 sub-boards) Here you members can make your own graphics shop for other members! Or, if you're not sure who to request from, you can always just post it outside of a shop and see who gets to it first. Let the graphics stuff begin!

A STRAY DOG ROLE PLAY
Hello there, friend. Before you is a site that is active, fun and rather laid back. We are a stray dog role play based in a fictitious county called King Feral, which is nothing more than an old town in the middle of the woods - you might even say podunk. Despite this, we have strays from all over the world who have found themselves stuck in a town where everyone wants out. We have two packs - the Claudius and the Luxe, but truthfully it is a free for all plot, with no alliances or even a strict, lengthy history you need to follow. No matter what level role player you are, we have members that are in every field from new to advanced - you'll fit right in. So why not try us out? Be careful though - small towns have a habit of eating people up.
(01) No advertising
(02) No spamming
(03) KEEP IT HAPPY.
(04) Make everyone feel welcome C:
(05) Keep GIF wars HERE (06) Only Zeph can say Flank's name seductively.
