35. Writer's Cafe and Artist's Pad Removed.
34. Sim Model Portfolios moved. You can find it in a sub-forum within "Your Sim's Pictures".
33. Updated the
Moderator Hotline with a current list of the staff. You may notice some new job descriptions which we will be hiring for soon!
32. New colors to differentiate staff members. (These colors will look a lot better once we've got our new dark background!)
Crimson = Admins
Dark Orange = Moderators
Yellow = Jr. Moderators
Green = Supervisors
Olive = Counselors
Teal = Members
31. Renamed "News and Updates" to "Main Office". The main office now holds the relocated "Younglings Zone". New members will know where to go as soon as they open the webpage.
30. Reorganizing all official posts so they are clear and easy to read.
29. New and improved
"Youngling's Handbook" with more helpful information for new members.
28. New guidelines/rules on
How to Open/Host a Contest pinned in the Open Contest section. Please read!
27. New
'Action Request' Form threads added to all contest forums. Now, instead of guessing who to PM to move threads for you, simply post in here and the first Mod or Admin to see it will get it done!
26. SCF now has it's own email account (SCFregistration@yahoo.com) that will help facilitate the validation process and hopefully make things go faster. Soon we will switch to 100% email registration which is as simple as registering on the site and will be 100% bot proof!
25. Pending: Condensing the pinned topics in the help desk (how to add a avatar, how to post a picture, and helpful forum codes) into a more helpful FAQ and moving it to the Younglings Zone.

11. All regular members can mass PM 20 other members. This is to aid hosts of contests in reminding contestants or judges to turn in their pictures or comments.
10. All members have unlimited PM storage . However, please practice the habit of deleting old useless PMs because it *may* lagged the server if everyone has too much PMs in their storage box.
9. New Forum rule - No Multiple accounts allowed.
8. Colors have invaded SCF! There are basically three different colors. Pink, blue and maroon. All three colors represent three different teams. So here's a brief rundown on them:
- Pink, blue or purple username --> Member belong to a team
- Darker shade of Pink, blue or maroon username --> Member is a team leader
- Glowing colored username --> Member is a moderator
- Orange username --> regular member
- White username --> Admin
Credits to Will, for suggesting this idea.
7. Teams signups are officially open! To read more about what Teams are all about, please proceed
here.
6.
New forum rule. As long as you're a contestant in a particular contest, you cannot judge in that contest.
5.
A temporary chatroom is now up until I can find a better one. This chatroom can be accessed at the bottom of the forum, on the left-hand side. Note that this chatroom can be accessed by *other* people who uses the same code as I'm using it now. So that's the minus-point about it.
4. Hosts of contests are now made "in-charge" of their own judging quarters and will have limited "modding" ablilties to help them organize things in their own section.
3. New Moderator - Sims Contest Forum welcome a new moderator onboard,
drenee81!
2. Judges' Private Quarters - This forum used to be a locked forum that let the Judges (from the Female Top Model Cycle 2) discuss the results. However, due to more contests surfacing of late, the forum is now divided into many smaller subforums, with each of their own passwords for the Judges of different contests to deliberate the results.
Members that are looking to join contests should go to the
Open Contests forum.
1. Open Contests forum - This new forum is for all contests that
hasn't officially started yet, which means contests that are
still accepting applications. Hence, the other forums such as the Beauty Contest forum, Man-Hunt forum and Misc Contest forum should only house contests that has officially started.
Moderators might want to take note of this and move the topics around to their respective section. This post has been edited by vintagepksweetie on Nov 4 2009, 12:38 AM
