Ohh thank you for the information!Arano wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 8:32 pmIt had articles written by members, a fan art spotlight section, horoscopes, any events/special announcements etc.
I believe the 60th issue was the very last one: http://old.gingaboard.com/index9796.htm ... opic=19785 which contained a fraction of what it used to in its hay-day!
It ran for 8 years and was started by retired admin Flann, but was managed and run by Crystal and Musica. 8 years was a very good run

Well, I am certainly interested in a Ginga magazine! But of course, there needs to be more people than just me.Arano wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:53 pmThe magazine ended due to a gradual lack of interest, so I don't think it will come back. But never say never I guess?
Have a nice day!

I just stumbled upon this bc I was browsing around hehe, but I'd love to see this come back, or even have something similar started!

wow these look fantastic!!Arano wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 11:46 pm Below is a breakdown of all the board ranks and what privileges they have, if any. Gold frames indicate board management, Silver frames are special regular member ranks, Gin-blue are regular member ranks and the black one... you don't want.
All ranks coloured by Kasi.
Admin and Moderator Ranks
Admin ranks: Gin, Hakurou and John
Current Administrators: Arano (Root Admin; board owner) Kasi and Crystal.
Administrators manage and make all the final decisions regarding the board and its members.
Moderator Rank: Akame
Current Moderators: Akame
Akame moderates the Fan Board.
Past Moderators: Musica, retired 2019.
Musica moderated the Fan Board and contributed to important Admin decisions. She started on the team by helping Crystal manage the Ginga Guardian online newspaper on the old forum.
Technician Rank: Cross
This is a special rank made for Regnant, who helped considerably with skinning the new forum and has admin level access to all the "backstage" bits and pieces (has no general forum duties). This board wouldn't exist without her help!
RPG Moderator Rank: Kurotora
Current Moderators: Astor and Gingastar.
RPG Moderators manage all aspects of the RPG section.
Special Regular Member Ranks
Ranks that are unique from the regular member ranks, but have no moderator capabilities or general forum duties.
Legend Rank: Tesshin
This rank was a perk purchasable from our 2017 Indiegogo campaign to move the board. It is thanks to the generosity of these members and other backing members (full list in the forum credits) that Ginga Board was able to move from an old broken forum to a new one. This rank is a locked rank and will never be obtainable outside of this campaign.
Translator Rank: Zion
Current holders: Chani, Dragon, fantachan, Kretari and Tsudog
This rank is a special token of thanks to members who have helped keep all our information up to date by bringing Finnish and Japanese translations of Yoshihiro Takahashi's works to the board. This rank is open and obtainable by any member who contributes consistently in this way.

And yes, Kotetsu didn't feature in Digsu's banners so a cute ballsnatcher is subbing in for him just because I like his design and nothing more, admin ruling!

For Kotetsu I was looking for the massive scars he has in GDWO like the rank my bad.Digsu wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 11:49 pmpssst Arano the white hampter with tiny scars and blue neckerchief is KotetsuArano wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 10:05 pmI totally forgot about Bob!

I wouldn't even mind this change. :'D
Though it would be kind of a shame as I got Andy's ever-lovable mug under my profile pic just yesterday...

Re: Ranks
The Riki rank was used for the old board's "newspaper" account, the Ginga Guardian which used him as the logo. We kept it behind in case it came back but it didn't happen.
