Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

I just wanted to know how many other people have gotten a PM advertising Drogan's site? I got one and from what it said:

Hello everyone. Just recently I made a site like this, but the theme is different. It is based on the games of Warcraft. Right now I only have a few member and need more. If anyone could please join my site, I would much appreciate it. Also, can everyone tell other people about my site? I need members!!! Please, join my site.


My site's adress is the following: http://s7.invisionfree.com/World_of_Warcraft_3

If you have any questions about my site, then e-mail me at jitowsm_mjk@hotmail.com or pm me. Thank you!


It sounded like he sent it to everyone. I have given him a level 2 warning (it is completely unacceptable that someone go around PMing people like that Everbane loser) and answered in a rather angry PM back... lol.

Anyways, thats all. Please reply if you have gotten one of these PMs.

Ugh, I hate it when people do that... I haven't gotten one, but its public knowledge that I am also Laoura. He might have avoided sending it to co-admins.

I haven’t gotten one but in a way you kinda did what he wanted you to do, advertised his link in this place. Question: Is there actually a rule against this or are you just doing this because you feel like it?

It is not allowed. *Frowns* Members have the Cool Sites board to post their sites at or their signatures. They don't need to go spamming PMs to every member of the site.

Hey, I did this because its wrong of people to take advantage of Imythess in this way. Laoura has always been very tolerant towards advertisers, except those who have spammed in PMs. I didn't do this 'because I felt like it.' *angry2*

Sure it may be wrong but where is it actually pointed out directly that it's wrong? Point me a quote and the URL of where if came from directly saying that 'Useing the PM system to advertise is not allowed' or something along those lines so that all new members are able to read it and is made before this topic was started

I'm going to have to say that it is just common sense that you do not spam advertisements for your site through PMs, and ESPECIALLY when there is a place to advertise it already. If you had a site thats doing as well as Imythess, do you really think that you want someone advertising another site and potentially take away members? Of course you wouldn't. I have to agree with Athiyk.

I also agree with Athiyk. What he did was almost as bad as everbane. atleast Drogan rps on the site, but since this is the case he would have likely seen the cool sites forum. But I think after two incedents we should include this in the rules.

Yes, that is a very good idea Rith. Especially after the second event. I happen to agree with your thoughs as well.

But really he shouldn't be punished so badly, just because it's 'common sense' not to do it, it's also common sense to recycle, but do people do it 100% of the time?

You bring a good point, but I believe it is best that the admin/mods/gods handle the disscussion. They may decide that two wanrings is a bit much.

Ok if your going to use analogies, I will too. Yes recycling is common sense, but why dont people always do it? Because it doesnt directly affect them at the moment. But think of adaware and popups and all that stuff that gets installed on your computer and you dont want it to. And it asks you to visit websites and promotes all this junk. Do you really like it?

Including this in the rules is a wise idea. :) I'll PM Laoura later or if she reads this first. ^_^
