Oh? I did not know that we could create accounts FaeNetwork?! Awesome! I might have to do that, even though I don't have any wings yet! >.< Or a fairy name! Hahaha

I can't imagine how your account could have been deleted :/ I'll check for you in the morning!
I think it's because I was inactive. I don't mind making another one because I forgot my last username and password anyway :P

Hi all,
So I created Faenetwork with the intention of being a co-owner, never the sole admin. I don't know nearly enough about all things fae to manage a site about it. Since Iona's unfortunate loss of the information she worked so hard on, I've been uming and ahing over what I want to do. I'm very aware that the network hasn't been updated in a long time, and while I made sure everyone knew it was going to take time from the get-go, I can't see a foreseeable date when I'll be able to find the time to create content on my own. I'd like to see Faenetwork flourish, and that's not going to happen under me.
A few of you have expressed interest in helping out with the site, and I'll be replying to your PMs to graciously accept your help. I'll also post this message on the forum, too. On that note, though, I'll be looking for administrators, not just mods. I'll step down as admin because I don't believe I have the time or the knowledge to be this involved. Perhaps in the future I'll help out as a mod, but for now I just don't have the energy.
So I'll be needing some beautiful people who have skill in coding, basic knowledge of the host I've used (j-cink) or the ability to learn, and the ability to staff a site, or any combination of those three things. Whoever expresses interest in being head admin (or co-admin) will need to be able to take over the responsibility for the domain (it's registered until 2018, so you won't have to pay anything until then).
If you're interested in helping to staff the site, please PM me here or on Faenetwork with a brief rundown of your skillset.
:hug: Good to hear from you again! Sorry that the site didn't quite work out as planned. Hopefully someday it will be as big and beautiful as you dreamed!

I'm sorry I put you in this situation Kelda :( Honestly though since then, I have gotten even more sick (chronically ill and in chronic pain) than I've ever been, and I also do not have the energy to admin another site. I hardly can keep up with taking care of myself and this site as it is. I don't like to talk about my chronic illness issues with the community much, but the truth is I am actually straight up disabled at this point, so there it is. Not to mention my husband told me if I tried to admin another forum he'd smash my computer. Not literally of course, and it's purely out of love- he's seen the incredible amounts of stress admining this forum can put on me. And as much as I hate to admit it, he's right.
I really hope you can find some folks to help with the fae forum- it was a really great idea, and I know you worked really hard it.

Don't worry at all, Iona! It's not your fault<3 I simply don't have the knowledge or resources to work on the site quickly enough. At this rate, it wouldn't be finished for years. I know you put so much effort into content and I wouldn't be able to replicate that, so I'll leave it in the hands of someone who could.
Vrindavana Starfish
02-19-2016, 04:32 PM
Iona and Kelda, both of you put so much love and work into this site, and it's obvious that FaeNetwork is destined to be a success, even if it takes a long time to fulfill the vision you had for it. I hope neither of you feel that you've let anyone down. This is a project of love, and you are not obligated to anyone, and all of your work is appreciated. I'm sure other website faeries will show up to help out. I wish I had coding skills to contribute, but my expertise is in mythology, and I'm hoping at some point I can contribute more in that area. It is a network, so it's not all on you! You two are magical, but even magical creatures need some time to rest and take care of themselves. :pearl:

Chronically illness-wise, I'm in the same boat.
I would be much more active in everything if it weren't for that, and I would have volunteered to help on FN already, but it'd be too much at the moment, at least an admin position.
I hope we find someone who can do it.
I'm more than willing to provide help with lore information though!
Its been hard for me to keep this to myself... But I am excited to announce FaeNetwork's new admin! I am so excited to take on this job and help to build the fae community.
I wanted to give Kelda a big shoutout for putting her faith in me and I hope that, with the rest of the community, we can create a beautiful network for faefolk!
I have some great things planned, but for a few days at least, I am going to really get myself familiar with the site and controls so I can deliver everything to you all that an administrator should! I have a wonderful moderator, but I'll let her announce that herself ;)
I hope to see everyone soon :)

02-19-2016, 06:45 PM
Nice!
Very good choice too imo!
Time to fish out my password again xD
Echidna, I would love to create a lore section for people to reference! I was thinking it would be grouped by region... German, Celtic, English etc. :) Would you like to collaborate with me?

Oh hey, that's me :) I have been trying to hard to stay quiet so I didn't ruin the surprise. And Echidna I think a lore section by region is a great idea.
Echidna
02-19-2016, 07:13 PM
sure thing!
Region is a good way to start.
One could debate whether to make an Eastern Europe category, or branch them into Russian, Czech, Romanian...

the site is looking awesome!
Thank you!
As admin, I don't want to change the feel of the site too much. I really love how pretty it is already! But of course, so much has been going on behind the scenes. Until the site starts to grow, I've just about gotten most of the hard stuff out of the way. :)
However, should I add a mermaid/water sprite user title for anyone who wants to check out the site but isn't quite into the fae community though?
Also, please send good vibes toward Saelyyia's way. Something not-too-great had happened and she'll be taking a break from the site for a while :(

it was mockingjay213@yahoo.com but I already made a new account...if you can find the old one for me that would be fantastic but idk what to do with the new one its under the name Celosia
Your previous username was CelticStar. You may use whichever account you would like and I can delete the spare. If you would prefer, you can continue to use the CelticStar account (which you have already made two posts on) and I can change that account's name to Celosia :)
MermaidMerida
02-29-2016, 09:45 PM
Actually I think I'll keep CelticStar its actually exactly what I wanted for my faesona lol I just cant remember my password...hmmm
EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out :3 now I wonder....I've been waffling for a while about what my true mersona should be and Im really loving the Merfairy thing so I was thinking maybe CelticStar the Merfairy or Merfairy CelticStar what do ya'll think?
Glad you were able to get it :)
Quick reminder that if anyone has previously created and account but can no longer remember their username/password/email, I can retrieve your account for you :) Less duplicate accounts helps to keep the forums clean and active ;)

Um, not sure if this link will work. I'm not wearing wings in these images, but I'm standing next to a legit Faerie hawthorn tree growing over a Holy Well spring in Ireland, and immediately after drinking from the well, a faerie dog came out of nowhere and led my husband and I on a mind-blowing hike. I was just there for a photoshoot looking like a faerie forest princess, but I think I actually met the Queen that day.

How cool! Ny Fearie festival had mermaids in the creek but they were contracted and had fabric tails with no monofins so the kids wernt allowed too close to them. It was a bummer because I had brought my tail wanting to hang out and get photos but they were only allowing their mermaids to be there. Luckily they let me take a few photos in between their groups but it was such a hassle to get everything on just to have 10 minutes for photos.

It's been a while, but just a reminder that FaeNetwork (http://faenetwork.com/index.php?) is still up and running!
Saelyyia and I took the administer positions last year and we have since been making changes and growing the community. Although it has been slow in the past, there are many new threads that have been created and many new members as well. To continue, we need feedback and suggestions for the site to find ways to improve it :)
Inspired by the "What type of mythical creature would you be?" thread on here, we have created a community faesona list that we invite you to help create to share the diversity in the fae community! Find it here: Community Faesona List (http://faenetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=203&st=0&#entry902)
Quick reminder to new members that FaeNetwork and MerNetwork are sisters. Any mermaids who visit FaeNetwork are encouraged to check out MerNetwork and vice versa :)
I really need to check that out though I'm exclusively a merman. I already refer one local person to the FaeNetwork last week so it would make sense if I've been there.
