June 1st - June 19th
It's almost summer! The last few weeks of school have come, and students will need to study hard for their final exams! Don't let up yet, or your grades won't be what you want them to. Of course, the weather is almost perfect and pristine, in attempts to lure students away from their studies.
As you may or may not know, EZboard will be going through some major changes very soon. It will no longer be compatible with most boards, and many of the amenities you are accustomed to will no longer be free. Alas, RPG Chronicles has the solution you seek.
We are a roleplay hosting site, and do we have a deal for board owners who wish to transfer their RPG's to our servers. The first thing you'll get if you come join our winning team is a board that is completely FREE for one year. The owners of RPGC once owned sites at ezboard and paid anywhere from 60-120$ every six months. At RPG-Chronicles, after the introductory year free, you will only pay 14.99 a year!
Tired of unsightly ads destroying your masterpiece? At RPG Chronicles, you don't have to worry about ads tarnishing your artwork. Not now. Not EVER. We are completely ad free.
Our network is about as secure as you can possibly can get. We too had issues with a hacker, and now we are located on a dedicated server powered by www.canaca.com, which gives sites their own unique and encrypted databases. As well, this comes complete with custom FTP access for all owners, as well as the ability to restore and backup as often as you want. No longer will you be held hostage by miscreants who wish to destroy your valauble work.
All of the sites hosted by RPG Chronicles will get free 24/7 tech support. We have a help ticket on the RPG Chronicles mainsite that all members can take advantage of, and utilize in order to get any and all technical issues reolved quickly and efficiently. If you opt for an Invision Power Board,
ours are sites are registered with Invision. This means you not only get great tech support from RPGC, but from Invision as well.
Additionally, we offer custom graphic and skin assistance free of charge for all members. All work done is clean, crisp, very professional, and high quality. We custom tailor to your needs. With this comes the advertising power of RPG Chronicles. Included in the inrtoductory offer, RPGC will pay for the first year of your domain.
Some extra additions will be payment only. For example, all boards can purchase their own chatrooms, that will be exclusive to each board. You don't have to use a community or centralized chatroom at RPG Chronicles. How much you ask? 1.99 a year. Thats all. We have our own image gallery as well we can install, that all sites can take advantage of to host any and all images that you want on your boards. No longer will you need to have an imageshack account. Cost to you? 2.00$ a year.
Members can also purchase their own portals such as Post Nuke, PHP Nuke, XOOPS, etc. for just $15. A one time fee, which typically runs 29.99 to 35$ for installation. Not at RPGC. Like you, we come from humble beginnings, and are not made of corporate money. We are here for the Roelplayer. Keep in the mind, the above options, are completely optional, not required.
As we stated before, all sites that register with RPG Chronicles come with their very own, custom domain. This service is completely free for one year, and just $6 for every year after that. That's half of what other hosts charge for domain names. Whether you stay with us or move on, the domain name is yours to keep!
And remember, you will never have to look at another protrusive ad cluttering your boards. RPG-Chronicles prides ourself on that independence for our members.Canon storylines (such as Marvel's Xmen, Disney's Pirates of the Carribean, Harry Potter, and Star Wars) have been a hit around the RPGC forums, and have become an important building block for our future.
However, there are also notable storylines that were created by the members themselves, such as the Chronicles of Izaar (Fantasy), Dark Awakenings (Horror), Ever Green,(Horror), Dark Raven (Horror), Into the Shadows (Horror)The Fifth Age of Rhy'din (Fantasy), and Roma Victor (Historical), just to
name a few.
RPGC sits on a foundation of creativity, so, if you have an idea for an original premise, or adapting some existing story, please, submit your thoughts to the staff, and we will assist you in attaining your goal. For as our logo states, RPGC is where Dreams Become Reality. Stop by today. See what other members think of RPG Chronicles, and take a look at some of the awesome boards we already host! What have you got to lose? You'll likely be losing your host soon, isn't that enough?
HA! I play at Aztec Gold, the PotC board! XD It's actually pretty nicely set up, and now that that whole incident that happened a while ago has passed and the bugs that were there are fixed...it looks great.
Lena, you actually might want to consider this, as many boards are turning Invision-style, it seems. They're more attractive when it comes to displaying ads (though with this offer you wouldn't even have any XD) and for some reason I personally post better at Invision boards. o.o Dunno why....
I can give you a link to the board there I'm a member of if you want a better idea of what one looks like. =3
Re: an offer from RPG-Chronicles.com
I'm big on Invisionfree myself, and if this place is even vaguely similar I wouldn't have any problems moving over. My only complaints about invisionfree have been that it's harder to do layouts like, for example, this one (it's much easier to simply skin them, and there are some nice skins out there) and you can't do subbies like you can on ezboard.
But it's made up for with things like smaller/better integrated ads, stickies/announcements, subforums, usergroups... etc.
Re: an offer from RPG-Chronicles.com
Yeah we definitely have considered the swap to invisionfree. Problem is, I don't know anything about customization. I signed up with a test board and tried to figure what the heck was going on and it's just SO confusing! I have no idea how to work anything. So I was thinking I was gonna wait until summer before I tried to work with it again, just cause I have absolutely no time right now to fiddle with stuff like that. >.<
But yeah, worry not. We've definitely REALLY considered going that route. I'll have to check out this ad thing (even though I would prefer if it wasn't posted in our discussion forum since advertisements is MUCH more appropriate for this kind of thing. >.<) and see how the server is.

Re: an offer from RPG-Chronicles.com
If you need any help, I could give it a shot. I've finally figured out how things work (generally) so I might actually be able to do something semi-useful :P
