05.08.12 - I would like to congratulate our two newest staff members, Shayde as our Board Supervisor, Sea as our new Character Supervisor, and Scout as our new Advertising Specialist! We will hopefully be running an advertising competition here soon for those of you who are interested. In addition, make sure you vote on the New Species poll on the staff announcement boards. The new wolves will be available the first of June, and we'll make their release extra special for Anikira!



04.05.12 - I wanted to clue everyone in to the Open Staff Positions application thread!!! Click! Everyone who is currently an accepted member of Anikira has the ability to apply. Uru and I will only be taking applications until the end of the month, so hurry hurry!!



03.23.12 - Just catching up with everyone after a somewhat busy work week; I've awarded all points for those OTM winners. Congratulations to you all. Sham, Uru, Vani and Jay have all been working so hard! Also, we have the results for our brief scavenger hunt. First place, is Gem who won within a record setting 52 minutes!! Hooray!! Second and third place winners are Jay and Lisa. The three of you will be getting a pm from me shortly telling you what your additional prize includes.

Now that that is out of the way, please direct your attention to the Staff Announcement board where Uru has began the discussion of how we can get Anikira's packs more active. Click Here.

03.17.12 - Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!! Since there is no way I'm turning this beautiful brown and pink skin all green... I do have some green hiding around for you though... I've hidden four leaf clovers throughout the site, in all different areas. There are 10 of them, that's right 10!! For each clover you find, you earn yourself 10 points. That's a possibility of 100 points in total! But I'll do you one better. The staff will also be awarding prizes for first, second and third place in addition to those 100 points. How do I get first place you ask? By being the first one to send me a pm with all 10 places listed. This contest will last until the end of Sunday. G'luck to ya! Here's what those fancy clovers look like:




03.15.12 - The March of the Months have ended and they have been updated in the sidebar. New OTM's will be up shortly. So be preparred to vote!!! Please feast your eyes on the magical spring layout. It's brand spankin' new. Obviously! -- I wanted to update everything down the side bar. But as you may notice, the whole "picture" of the layout isn't complete. I'm still working on a few things, and there are still some images that I have to fix. So please be patient with me. Other than that, keep your eyes open for little activities around St. Patty's day, this Saturday.



03.12.12 - The activity check has expired. Anyone who had accounts deleted that still wish to play their characters need to just recreate the account with the same username and it'll link to your old information. However, you will have lost all your points on the account.



03.02.12 - It is officially spring in Anikira. I would like to invite everyone to vote on the OTMs that have been posted up for March. Also, March marks the beginning of birthing season (though pups CAN still be conceived). We will have a new skin coming up here soon, and there will be the monthly activity check posted later today!



02.29.12 - Happy Leap Day everyone!!! I just wanted to post this today since it's only February 29th every fours years. Couldn't pass it up! -heh- Anyways, I do have some news to bring you. I've revised the "Weather" tab, and updated the Forecast, so please reflect that information in your posts for the next week or so. Also, with March literally right around the corner the Staff has a lot of new stuff coming up for everyone. So keep your eye out for March of the Months' and a new spring layout, and other little surprise tid-bits this Spring.



02.08.12 - I want to give a big THANK YOU to Tre for our new skin! Winter Blues is its name; be sure to adjust it in your profile to get the full effect of it. I'm going to run an activity check here soon to weed out old accounts; be sure to post for any characters you want to keep.



01.30.12 - Hey everyone. I'm sure you've noticed the lack of activity recently, and I'd like to apologize for my inattentiveness and for disappearing on you all. With that said, I mentioned in the C-box earlier this week about possibly shutting Anikira down. With that said, I'm trying my hardest to make Ani a priority in my life again alongside with my school work. I don't want it to close; also, tomorrow marks the four year anniversary of Anikira! I'm hoping to get a little something special worked up for tomorrow for everyone who comes around; hope to see you all soon!



01.02.12 - Happy New Year!! Hopefully everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday weekend! I've locked and archived quite a few of the old threads in each of the boards. I've updated the 'Open Threads' section of the side bar information. I'm working on updating a few other things around here that I see have not been touched in a few months. ^.^ I'm really looking forward to getting to know each of Anikira's new members.



12.12.11 - Hey guys, sorry for the absence of the staff and most of the members. As most of us understand, it is a difficult time of the year with traveling for the holidays and finals for most of us, it's going to be slow for the next few weeks. I ask that everyone bear with us, as we are certainly an active board, just on a bit of a rocky patch of the year!



11.30.11 - It's the end of November already... Wow. December OTMs are up, and prizes have been awarded. As of now, Zahir has been disbanded. No one is currently joining the pack and there has not been any interest expressed in it for quite some time. Alphas, I suggest doing a pack activity check as well as the main activity check in order to get who plans on staying in each pack. Thanks all.



11.28.11 - Happy Monday, I suppose. I've updated the weekly special in the store. There are also two contests up on the contest board at the bottom of the site, one for graphics and one for roleplaying! Also, be sure to post in the activity check on the staff board. This one is only being run for a week, so you've gotta get on it right away! If you have not voted for the OTMs for December (only four people have so far...) please get on that. Those will be closed around 3:00 PM CST on the 30th so I have time to update them.



11.04.11 - It's November everyone! A new thread is up on the staff board for site-wide plot ideas. Also, we are instituting a "Special of the Week" in the site's store. Every week, something from the store will have its price slashed dramatically! So be sure to take a look at what is on special for the week. OTMs are posted, and there is currently a run-off for Member of the Month on the staff board. Votes need to be in by the 7th, and then the award will be posted. I'm excited to see that, even after archiving the threads from last month, we still have a bunch of active ones up! Thank goodness for all of you great members!



10.26.11 - There have been a couple things recently that I would like to bring to your attention. Firstly, I'd like to welcome all of our new members to the board and thank you all for your dedication to Anikira. It's great members such as yourselves that keep a site like this running for the nearly four years we've been open! Second, I'd like to direct everyone to the member registry. Please CLICK THIS LINK and post with your information. I would really like to have everyone fill out the form by the end of next week. As an incentive, everyone who does so will receive 50 points to one of their accounts. You have until 11/4/11 to do this. Those of you who have already posted, I thank you, and you will automatically have the 50 points added to an account so no worries. Third, I want to put a little more emphasis on having your wolves join packs. With the founding of two new packs, it is easy to find one that will suit your characters. I encourage everyone to have the majority of their wolves as members of a pack. Fourth, we will hopefully have an advertising contest running from the beginning of next month until the end of November. Keep your eyes open for that! OTMs will be posted for November a little early (by this Friday) due to Halloween and the fact that I have two exams on the 1st. Happy roleplaying!



10.03.11 - Wow, it's October. And with that said, this months OTMs are up (and next month Sea and I will be disqualified, EEP!) So we're probably going to be looking at doing some sort of contest with the approach of Halloween and all... I definitely won't be on here that night because it's one of the best holidays in college!!! But I just wanted to welcome all of our new members and let you know how glad we are to have you here. The open threads on the side bar have been updated, and I'm going to start fiddling around with the Pack Registry board that you now see in the top category. There's an activity check going on through the 21st, so be sure to post to be sure you characters are not touched!



9.14.11 - Happy Wednesday guys. Today, I learned how difficult it is to do OTMs with only four people on the site that are currently posting; granted, we've got some serious roleplaying going on between us. I'm extremely proud of you guys's dedication and I count my blessings for having you every day. With that said, the new OTMs are up for you to vote on, and I've been doing my best to get as many advertisements up on other boards, as well as keeping on on Proboards Support, to look for new members. On that note, I'd like to announce Seadragoness as our new Advertising Specialist! I'm going to need some help keeping up with this stuff, and I'm excited to have help!



9.7.11 - I cleaned out the inactive members today. Thankfully, we've still got 35 accounts left. I'm going to put a special emphasis on advertising this month, as we need to get some new roleplayers here in order to keep the board active! Thank you for everyone who has continued to be optimistic and stuck around through the reworking of the staff and the board as a whole. You guys are great, and that's why I stick around.



8.22.11 - I know I just posted an update a few days ago, but I need to be honest with you guys. I don't know what has happened to Anikira, but it's losing its member base. If we can't pick things up and put them back together, I'm going to have to close the site down. I really don't want to do that, but without a supportive member base and consistent staff, we're not going to be able to keep things going. Keep this in mind; if you want the site to stay open, please post with your characters. Show me that some of you still care about this site, because this place is my baby. If it's coming to an end, then I'm going to have to be alright with that, but I don't want to shut Ani down when there are still people around who care about it. I've put many years into this board, and I hate to see it go to waste.



8.18.11 - Wow, it's been really quiet around here lately, guys. On that note, we've got a current activity check up. If you do not post within the time frame, your characters will be deleted; no exceptions. So please be sure to account for all your characters. School is getting ready to start for a lot of us (me being no exception!) so I understand trying to balance real life and your online life. With that in mind, please do not neglect your studies for something such as roleplaying. Your future is definitely more important (unless you're a creative writing major!) Admin out!



8.05.11 - I wanted to remind everyone of the Liquid Time limitations. I've been seeing a few characters bouncing all over the place. Please remember that if your character belongs to a pack, they cannot leave the territory unless on a direct mission from the Alpha, or for plot reasons. If your character is a loner, they can only belong in two threads, max, and only in adjacent territories. No cross country travelling. For those those of you who may be in violation of the Liquid Time limitations, please finish your threads and don't repeat the mistake.



7.05.11 - It's about time for a new announcement up here. We should be getting the OTMs posted here shortly (in fact I will do that after this!). Also, a new item has been added to the store. You can now "sublet" a pack! Basically, if you want your own pack but there are no territories currently available for claiming, you can "rent" a portion of an alpha's territory to establish your own pack. You must discuss this with the current territory's alpha, and there must be at least three wolves to create a subletted pack. No more than two packs can occupy one territory at a time, including the main pack of the region. Happy roleplaying!



6.23.11 - As you can see, we got the new summer skin up! The activity check is over; I will be sending out an email as a last chance offer to those who did not reply to it, and by Monday, those who have not responded will have their accounts deleted. Be sure to keep posting and watching out for any contests we have going on (yes, there will probably be one here soon!)



6.16.11 - For those of you who have not posted in the activity check CLICK HERE! You only have until the 21st to post, and as far as I can tell, none of the current absence notices apply to the people who have not accounted for their characters. I finally got the table here fixed up, and some of the posting is beginning to pick up! Make sure to check threads that you're in to be certain that the thread isn't waiting on you. I know that's the problem with a lot of the posting because members are waiting on someone else to post.



6.13.11 - Alright, the June OTMs are up for voting! Be sure to take a look at who's up for what and cast your votes. Also, keep your eyes open for a new summer skin that should be up in the next week! We could really use a little activity around here, so please be sure to stop by and post where you need to or jump in an open thread. The activity check is going on right now, and you have until the 21st to post. With that said, happy summer to everyone!



06.01.11 - Guess what? It's summer! The season has changed and (hopefully) most people are out of school for the mean time. This means we'll have an activity check going up in the next few days to see who's still around after all the craziness of the end of school phase. Be sure to check the open threads and see if you can start some roleplaying, because the board's been a little blase lately. We need to get some fun roleplaying and mini-plots going on here!



05.14.11 - 'Ello all! Just a heads up, the sidebar has been updated. May's OTMs are officially announced and prizes have been awarded. Congrats to all our winners! We also have a new set of open threads waiting to be joined, so check those out if you're looking for a new place to post. Mating season has officially ended and the birthing season is in full swing. Several characters are expecting pups over the next few months, so if you're interested in playing a pup, check out the New Life board.



05.11.11 - Hey guys. I thought I'd put an update up here since it's been half a month since we've done so! OTMs are closed and will be put on the side bar later, but we'll be placing the new voting up the BEGINNING of next month instead of the 15th (or at least I think that's what we agreed on!) If you haven't posted on the member list on the staff announcements board, please post there. If anything needs to be updated, just repost the form and I'll get that traded out. I should be getting internet here soon and if I don't, I might scream. So here's to hoping I'll be back on for good here soon!



04.24.11 - First off, HAPPY EASTER! I know everyone's kind of in a slump right now. But if you aren't going to be posting, PLEASE put up an absence notice. It's kind of frustrating when you're waiting for a post and you don't know whether that person is going to be around or not. So if you're busy, it's totally cool! Just be sure to put up a notice for those of us who are still around. OTM voting ends here in six days, so be sure to get your vote up before those are locked.



04.17.11 - Okay, I know I did an update only four days ago! But since then, I (FINALLY) got around to putting the territories into Xisyn! Now that territory is fully open to roleplay in its various sub-boards and will, eventually, be claimable. Aldgar has been dissolved as a pack, so if you had a character in the pack or planned on joining, it is no longer there. That land will remain unclaimable for a while until we as a staff figure out what to do with the remaining unclaimed lands. I know that sometimes this time of year can be stressful with school stuff (I know it is for me!) and we understand if you are not quite as active. Please leave an absence note if you plan on being on low activity for more than a week, just so we know that you haven't bailed on us. Also, continue with advertising! Thank you to all the great new members that are joining as well!



04.13.11 - The OTMs for May are now open for voting. Since April only has 30 days, I put them up a couple days early to make the running time about the same! Also, after this month, OTMs will be put up on the FIRST of the month for the following month! There are still plenty of open threads, so please put your characters in them so we can get some awesome roleplaying going on!



04.01.11 - Happy April Fool's day everyone! Hopefully you all are playing jokes on everyone you know and having a good time. As for me, I wish this six inches of snow - yes snow, was an April Fools joke... Sadly it's not. Anyways, the OTM's have been updated so go check 'em out! A special congratulations goes out to Nile for having won a majority of the spotlights, including Member, Character, and Thread OTM's. If you could also direct your attention to the April 'Spring Clean-up' Activity Check. [link]



03.18.11 - First off, congratulations to Jay for winning Character OTM with Toiro. Well deserved. Secondly, we have April's OTM polls up and running, and although most of us have already voted on the nominees, please direct your attention that way as soon as possible. If you all could take great care in only voting once, that would be fabulous. If you are unsure of your voting status, pm one of the staff members and we can tell you.
The 'Open Threads' information has been updated; though we would like to see some of those threads wrapping up. If you are looking for a place to post with your character, please check out those threads first before starting a new one. Thank you! ^^

03.03.11 - Voting for most of our spotlights has ceased. Congratulations to Member OTM 'Nali (yay me!), Couple OTM Denali and Exodus, Threat OMT Rapture and Thread OTM Ghost of a Chance. Because Character OTM ended in a tie, we are running a second round of votes to determine a winner. Voting ends in five days, so best get on it!
Links: Character OTM Round 2 Voting!

Also, spring is now upon us. The mating season is in full swing, as well as the birthing season. Any pups conceived last mating season are expected to arrive, so if you've got pups on the way or are planning on playing someone's pup, it's time to start getting all the information finalized! Congrats to all the expectant mothers!



02.18.11 - Coding issues resolved and Of the Month Spotlights now open!

First off, I'd like to say that the registration problem Internet Explorer [IE] users have been experiencing is fixed! -claps- So now everybody should be able to make new accounts regardless of which browser is being used. Secondly, we are now running Monthly Spotlights! Voting is open, and you have until March 1st to cast your votes. Happy voting! ^.^

02.04.11 - The open threads on the sidebar have been updated; take a moment to browse through them and see if you'd like to throw a character or two in there. I have been incredibly pleased with the advertising and posting activity lately. It's great to see such initiative going on here! Here's to the beginning of a great month.



02.01.11 - Happy February Anikira! It's a wonderful month (and also the month of my birthday *coughcough* :D). It's the end of winter breeding season, and also the start of yet another fun month of roleplaying. Hope everyone in school is doing well with their classes and that you'll have a great day!



01.17.11 - We are about to come up to Anikira's three year anniversary! January 31, 2008 was when the site first opened, and in three years we have only had a brief period that the board has been closed. The site has never changed boards, and the staff is very similar to the original staff as well. All members of the board that have been here for at least two years will receive a special banner for their signature as a thank you for your wonderful years here with Anikira!



01.01.11 - First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful time and were safe. We are hosting an official activity check that lasts until the 31st of this month. Please be sure to check it out as soon as possible and respond, because there is an obligation to post under certain circmunstances. [link]



12.15.10 - New announcements! Woohoo!

First, check out the new December announcements Xin posted! [link!]

Second, check out our plot feedback thread! [link!]

And thirdly, g'luck with the rest of your finals/end of semester and enjoy your winter/summer holidays!



12.09.10 - If you haven't yet noticed, the cbox is fully functional again. xD

Reminder! We are having an unofficial activity check! Just post your ooc name so we know who's still around. Please and thanks! [link!]



12.06.10 - Have we really had no new updates since October? x.X I know the staff team hasn't really been doing a great job of anything lately. For the record, I do have a very detailed absence notice posted up explaining why I'm not around. Personal issues on top of school stress have shot my free time to hell. -sighs- I can't really account for the rest of the staff team, but I do know that Silv at least has also been extremely busy with school. But, that's not what this announcement is about. ^^;; For those of you who have not yet noticed, the cbox has expired. Please bare with us while we try to get it upgraded again. Only Xinelil has access to the cbox account. In the mean time, you can read more about the expired cbox here.

Happy December everyone! G'luck with school and tests and finals!

Also, we are having an unofficial activity check! Just post your ooc name so we know who's still around. Please and thanks! [link!]



10.10.10 - Hope everyone's gonna have a great week! We have put up some bans on making characters, so be sure to look at those before making a character (on the bottom of the Character Creation table) Also check the announcement thread on the staff board! Also, welcome to all of our new members!



10.01.10 - 'Ello folks! Happy October! The Advertising Contest [click!] Has officially ended! Congrats to Keyara, Lan, and Jayfox respectively! As per first of the month maintence, completed/dead threads have been archived. Also, I would like you all to note that we have at least 10 more males than we do female characters. Female characters and desert breeds are highly encouraged, though at this time no bans have been placed. Thank you.



9.25.10 - 'Ello folks! The Advertising Contest [click!] is still going on! It ends on October 1st, so if you want to win an alpha slot or fully customizable character then get to advertising! There's less than one week left to win it! On a side note, if you haven't noticed the blatantly obvious layout changes yet, Ani's been underging a bit of a revamp. You can tell us what you think in the Feedback Thread [click!]. Thanks!



9.1.10 - Happy First Day of September! It is now fall in Anikira, and the weather is starting to cool off. Be sure to watch the announcement board, because I have a couple changes that are going to be made this month! The advertising contest is going well, hope you all continue to do so after it is complete.



8.29.10 - I know I'm kicking September off a little early, but it's a Sunday and I didn't feel like waiting till the middle of the week. ^^;; We've got a few big announcements for ya, folks. First off, we have a 2 week Activity Check [click!] in place. It will end on September 12th. Secondly, we are hosting an Advertising Contest [click!] to lure in new members! It will last throughout the month of September. I hope you all have a successful back to school transition! Here's to an exciting September!



7.26.10 - We are going to do a trial period with liquid time for Anikira. Since everyone seems to be in favor of it, until August 15, liquid time is allowed. We will make a final decision at that point whether or not to make liquid time a permanent part of the roleplaying here.



6.3.10 - After a lengthy break, the board is finally reopened to the public. There is still some work to be done, but I'm really hoping we can get all this worked through with the board open for roleplaying and new members. Be sure that you try to get posts made with all your accounts, since I will run an activity check around the middle of the month to see which accounts are active and which ones I can delete. Thanks guys!
