I wasn't sure if I should put this one here, in "on topic" or "off topic", but since it's question-y, I stuck it here.

I just made a account and a introduction there. The fact that it was described as quieter and more literally drew me to investigate. I do say, it does seem a little ... dead compared to E. But there's also a lot less members and I haven't been approved yet. However, it being a slow site is a good thing for me since I spend so much time here.

I noticed several names I recognized there. I'm curious about it.

Anyway, the question part is more about Blue Moon. I made a account there a long time, and I don't have any interest in the site. Too cybery. I was wondering if there was a way to delete my Blue Moon account?

I don't know if Blue Moon has the same rules about deleting accounts, and I think that while Veks hosts it, it's 'managed' (loosely) by someone else.  You'd really be best off asking the mods over there about deleting or otherwise inactivating your account there.

Thanks! I'll go dig around to find a mod there

I noticed him/her. But I just joined WEAT a hour ago, I don't wanna delete my account there! It's Blue Moon I'm trying to find out about deleting.

Ooh!  I thought you might be looking for a WEAT mod, and I knew one. ;)

WEaT is a bit more laid back than E.  They'll get to you pretty soon though.

I've heard good things about the site, and I don't mind it being slow.

What I've heard of Blue Moon, it's definitely geared to a different audience.  Worst case scenario, you can always put 'gone' messages in your profile there and stop signing in.  (Actually, you could even leave off the messages.  That's just me being polite to people that might surf profiles.)

Today when I got on to see about deleting was the first time I was on in probably a year (judging by the dates on the PMs in my inbox). I nosed around in there for about a week and decided I didn't like the place. I just wanted to see if I could actually get rid of the account instead of having it sit there forgotten about.

I think most forum sites ask you to just log out and forget about it. They usually dont delete accounts because people have a tendancy to change their minds (even if its 5 years later or whatever) but also because they dont want it being abused by some just wanting a new account.

WE&T is very slow on the weekends and often Yanaba isn't around then.  She's the Admin (Directrix) there and generally the only one who does approvals.  Once she sees your intro, approval should take a day or less.  Others may stop by your thread and say hi or ask questions informally, but the approval process is much less formalized there than here.

The only other active staff member is Lilias, a Femme Fatal (Mod).

Yeah, that's understandable. I just don't like the unused things I have floating around.

I figured from looking some of the other introductions. That's okay though as I'm in no special rush.

That being said, WEAT is an amazing, cozy place.

I have a question regarding WEaT and E. Can I link my Roleplay peferences form here into a signature and/or O/O thread there? I ask because I like it and it's already set up. I have a F-list account that I made a couple of days ago, but I'm a little confused with the site and I think they have character creation shut down for the moment.

If I can't link the preferences from here, I'm fine with just listing a few specific ones on a thread. Just curious.

Couldn't you just copy and paste the code from one to the other? Both sites are secure. I'm not an expert, but I don't think you can link between the two. Or you might be able to, but you'll need to be logged in to both accounts in order to follow the link.

That's my concern since I imagine not "everybody" there has a E account and they wouldn't be able see it.

On the other hand, I can link it and provide a list of some favorites and some nevers for anybody who can't see it. Been meaning to make such a list to put in my O/O thread here anyway. That way I'm doubly covered until I can figure out F-list.

I looked at your coding in the first post, and other than the Oath of Drake and your centered graphic, there's nothing 'E-specific' to really deal with.  Subsequent posts, where you link to RP threads, would of course require access to both sites.

Or were you referring to the Elliquiy 'check box' O/Os?

I was referring to the check box.

The thread I can just copy and edit into a thread there. But I use the check box for my 'kink list'

Sorry, only E members would be able to follow that link. Assuming, of course, that you haven't left the page completely in the public.

Um... IDK. All I know is there's a "private" and "buddies only" neither of which I have checked.

That's fine though. I figured as much but was just checking anyway.

The default is 'E Members only'.  Public is wide open to the 'Net, and 'Buddies Only' is restricted to those members you've put on your Buddy List.

I don't see a "public" and I know leaving "private" unchecked doesn't do it because I testes by logging out and going the link.

How do I set it on "public"?

Okay, so after fooling around, I realized something that should be brought to Staffs attention. The On and Off section isn't updating. Part of it anyway. The check boxes with the kinks and whatever are. But I realized that I changed what characters I play/what they're attracted to some time ago, but when I viewed the profile, the changes didn't show. I tried several tactics, and still a no show. Some kind of technical glitch, I guess?

If the box marked Private is unchecked, unapproved members and guests can see your profile (the OO profile). Unless that has changed since we got the OO system.

Nope. Tested by logging out and trying to go in it. Says I have it set on private but I don't.

It's possible Veks made a site-wide change to private on the Preferences when he moved E.

Yeah, that's possible. But if he did it on purpose why didn't he tell us and why is the option to make it private still there?

Could be because he is really busy working on the CMS.

I ended up making the O&O's here globally private as there was too much confusion with approved members thinking it was. F-list is probably better for multi-site things.

That's fine as I was just on there and figured out how to work it, so was working on filling it out. It's more extensive anyway. Although personally I love the little on you have here. Wish everybody would fill it out.

*agrees* I like seeing both the Preferences and the O/Os. I get a different insight from each of them. :D

Same. The threads give  great written details. While the preferences are great for little kinks that you can check and see. Having both really gives me a better feel of the person.
