| JOINING here's what you need to join portland in addition to your examples:
a username based on your character's name
a minimum of one icon uploaded to your journal a backdated ic contact post a backdated and screened ooc contact post |
| GETTING STARTED once you've been added, you'll have three days to post something to the friends page. it will go toward meeting one of your monthly activity requirements. you can post whatever you like, as long as it has comments enabled and allows you to interact with everyone else in the community. (tinder and other dating app posts won't count!) you'll also have one week to submit information about your character. for more information, see our answer to DO I NEED AN INFO POST? |
| BEING ACTIVE communities are only as great as their members, and only interacting with one or two people doesn't create an inviting environment for anyone. posting in pbads for new lines, commenting updates, and being receptive to members both new or old will only make portland better.
be present on the friends page. reply to the majority of comments on your posts. keep your friends list up to date. |
| REQUIREMENTS in addition to being around, replying to comments, and keeping your friends list up to date, you'll need to meet the following activity requirements each month:
1 update between the 1st and 14th.
2 comment the activity check during the 14th through 16th. 3 update again between the 15th and last day of the month.
# all updates must be visible on the friends page.
# at least one update needs to be interactive. |
| UPDATING we know that updating twice a month seems like a lot, but there's only one thing you need to know when it comes to updates: there are no effort or length requirements. update with as many lyric posts, playlists, random questions, or narratives as often as you like. |
