The idea's from another site that Meah and I were on at some point, I don't know where they got it from. Basically, you make a thread where you can keep track of what characters you've interacted with, how they got along, etc. If you like, you can make a small note of what happened to your character between threads and little things like that.
I thought that maybe we could implement it here. The site's well over a year old, and we have a lot of characters and a lot of threads. I was reading over old stuff, and until then had utterly forgotten how much antipathy Corenne had towards our beloved (or not so beloved) weyrleaders. And I forgot that Felina had a thread with S'lem (then Salem) and his sister at one point.
It'd be good just so that we can refresh our ailing memories once in a while.

Hey, that IS a good idea! Hm, I wonder where we'd put them. Might need a new section...
But yes, that's brilliant! We need them, yepyep. I doubt I can remember who all my characters have interracted with. xD

it's a thing that most rp sites i've been on do. and like...you make up a page with all the relationships you can think of and a song lyric (or get one off someplace like the white pages, although you'd have to fiddle with the coding for stupid proboards).
and then everyone decides what the relationships are and all that good stuff. it's fun.
actually, i loathe the stuff, but that's how it works.

To make things a bit more interesting, how about make them journal style?
It's something I saw on a Harry Potter site, and I'd actually been thinking about making one here. Every member could create a thread for each character and make journal entries whenever they felt like it, kind of like a 'Dear Diary' style, if that's what people wanted. So, including important events, people they'd met, how they felt about things, etc. lol. Orrrr, people could just use them to jot notes if that's what they wanted, too.

that's always fun. Anything to avoid the whole plotting pages thing. Those drive me absolutely batty.

I like the plotty things. xDD But then again, that's because I basically reuse my one over and over again.
Actually, on my site, we have a page where you can have a Journal, and then we have one of those. Or... We can join the two? Have both of them in the same thread? -shrugs- I think it'd be nice.

Lol, I fail at the whole fancy coding and song lyrics kind of stuff. xDD I like the journal or notes kind of thing! To keep track of plots and stuff.

God I hate them. It's so tedious to write a brick of text doting on someone. Or ranting about them. Just so your character can interact with them. It drives me nuts.
