From the very start, this is where you should come. this board has all that you will need to know from rules, the plot, to the admins personal announcements to our loyal members. so please, please, please before you do anything else around the site, make sure you come take a look here first. once you've joined, you still might want to come check in and see if we have any polls or announcements for you guys. also, there are our - being the admins - notices and information regarding contacting us and a breakdown of our jobs.

This board is pretty self-explanatory. The staff will talk here about what they need to do to make the site better and what is currently making it worse than it should be. Don't ask what is posted here, because we will most likely let you know later on in a site-wide thread. It's only for staff so don't even try getting in. (:

This is where the admins around blair will post any announcements or threads that concern our members or the site. it can be anything from possible site-wide plots to simple polls to see what your opinions may be. you may want to check back here every once in awhile, just to make sure your not missing out and your voice is heard. if your not an admin, please dont post threads here, but feel free to reply to the threads with any and all concerns relating to the topic.

Before your character can go off and interact with other characters around the site, you must submit an application and wait for one of the admins to accept or decline you. within this board you can find the application format, unfinished applications, and general registration facts that you will essentially need at one point or another. make sure that you do not post anywhere until you have been accepted. do not post in the claims or anywhere else or your application will be automatically declined for breaking this essential, respectful, rule.

The filing cabinet is where all of the accepted applications of the site have been moved. these are the people that proved they have the qualities of a good rper and meet our standards. there are six different catagories of accepted applications: the admins, seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshman, and faculty. so make sure you look in the right place if you're trying to find someone. the threads here are locked, as well, so you wont be able to edit things here without an admins help.

Come here to claim your character's play by, your screen names, and post in the activity check. this is one of the most important boards in the entire forum and is the most essential to getting the ball rolling towards role playing and getting some plots on the move. if you dont post in the activity check here, then your information will not always be saved, so please make sure to come and post here as soon as you have been accepted.

Games, random chat, absence notices, and pretty much everything else that you post out of character should be threaded here. There is a sub-board for games in character and out, so please only post games there. Be sure to post here if you are going to be gone for a long period of time, just so people know that you did not just leave.

Here at the blair academy there are many things that have to be done. from new boards, to activity checks, and everything possibley needed to set the board at it's best level. though the staff try their hardest as humanly possible to get it all done, there is some stuff we may have missed, or have never even thought of. here you can suggest anything that comes to your mind for us to do around blair. wheither it's a site wide event, a board we maybe missing, or something you feel needs changed ! once posted an admin will look right into it, and if it's found suitable it will be put right into action. constructive criticism only, please !

Friends, enemies, lovers, family, etc. everyone and every character has got to have some sort of relationship in their life. Whether you like long lists of lyrics, or simple charts with just histories, it all goes here. These have gone slightly out of style, but we will be enforcing them again, and it is very important that every character has one. We will all be making an effort to post in each others to promote more role playing and even plotting between admins and members alike.

Thread trackers seemed to be a lost art these days, but on this version of Blair, we've decided to go all out. Every character must have one, like a relationship chart. We don't care how you make it pretty, but be sure to keep it updated and such. In the tracker, link back to the threads your character is currently in. This includes AIM/MSN and such. We are hoping to get more people into actual threading, so fill them up. The more threads, the better.

Interesting plots, it is what every character needs. If you like drama, and you like having something to do with your character, post here, or reply to one of the many threads that people create themselves. Remember, you don't always have to plot with the same people over and over again. Branch out, get to know someone else, and get roleplaying! The point of an awesome plot is to actually thread, so go for it. You never know what great plots and ideas that you may come up with when you decide to do something with someone new. It's a great way to get to know your peers and have lots of fun.
