[atrb=border,0,true] frequently asked questions, faq faq faq faq faq faq faq faq faq faq faq alrighty, we predict we'll get these same questions over and over again, so read here before you ask us something in the c-box. if you have a question that's not listed here, feel free to ask us! just make sure it's not a stupid one. "IS THIS THE SAME RELAPSE I WAS ON TWO YEARS AGO?" yes and no. yes, steph is ava, who was the original admin of relapse records back in '09, and tati was an admin for the majority of that site. there are all new canons and bands though. "WHY ARE THERE NO CREW SPOTS?" this is a record label site. yes, there will eventually be tours, but we've decided to run this more like the actual 'biz is run. that means that when it's time for a site-wide tour, the band members will be able to pick their crew based on who they're friends with and such. we find it's a lot more cohesive than forcing everyone to be friends. "IS THIS SITE CANON ONLY?" nope. we also have a 'fan' usergroup for non-canon characters. "...WHAT IF MY 'FAN' ISN'T ACTUALLY A FAN OF ANY BAND?" welp. fan is more of a blanket term for any character that's just kind of... a random person. someone not actually working in the industry. this is a good spot to place family members, old friends, etc. granted, we aren't expecting to have too many of these, but it's definitely an option. "WHY CAN'T WE MAKE CHARACTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 18?" very rarely are there touring band members signed to big labels who are under 18, because of legal reasons generally. most office jobs would never, ever hire someone under the age of 18. we're trying to make this realistic, and we really don't need a bunch of 15 year olds running around, because this isn't a school site. "WHAT KIND OF PLAY-BYS ARE ACCEPTABLE?" we'd prefer it if every band member was actually a member of a band, because it just looks better and makes more sense. as far as other spots go, we prefer people who are involved in the industry. please don't make a scene queen, or brad pitt or some random high-fashion model with a last name that no one can pronounce. we're flexible with some play-bys depending on your position (like the management canons) cause we know this is a los angeles site and not everyone is like ~band~ or whatever, but just be sensible. anyone who has that band look is totally fine. if you need additional help, check out the suggested play bys on each canon page. "ARE THERE ANY BANS RIGHT NOW?" not anymore. as of 7/18, our first ban of anyone other than a band member has been lifted. but whenever there is a ban, you'll see the header on the main page specifying what it is. "WHY DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE AN IC OR LC?" since this site started in 2009, we've noticed how much rp has changed, as it always will be changing. using an IC or LC takes away from the real thread development, as either of these tend to have things become rushed as they happen. and we'd like to capture the real threading again if anything, compared to other sites out there. plus there's always gonna be a problem with usage abuse vs. activity on the actual board, so we try to avoid that. eventually either one of these in-character vehicles will pop up on here, but not right now - we're liking the threading just fine so far. just give it time.
