Title: Hello!
Post by: MarigoldLesley on January 10, 2010, 07:33:15 AM
Hello everyone! I'm Hufsa- very new here :D
I've started reading the Animorph series from the past two months, and now I'm hooked. I'm on book 22 now. Thank you so much, Richard, for uploading all those books. I'd never even heard of these series, but my sister had read a few in school, and insisted I find something about the on the internet. And then I came across this site.
My favorite characters so far would be Marco and Ax. Ax with the cinnamon buns is just hilarious. And I adore Marco! <3
Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and hope to get to know many of you soon!

*running to be the first who catch Hufsa*

wHELLcome, Hufsa!!!! ((Yeah! I won!!))
I'm Vis... I'm Dameg, a RAFian. Come with me, please, I have something to show you. It's here, after this door *Open a heavy door* We call them the RAFprojects. *Lead Hufsa to a long and dark hallway, with many doors, some in the dark, some with light coming from the other side. Arrive near the first door* Here at your left...

- The Ebooks project: [Help wanted!] Animorphs (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0)), Remnants (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,157.0.html) <= finished) and Everworld (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,331.0.html)); we need somebody to scan the volume #10 of Everworld, and the other Everworld/Animorphs ebooks need to be cleaned a little (mistakes, we don't know where the chapters begin and finish, etc.) so if you wanna be a correcter... call me, I head that projects.

Facing it is...

- RAFipedia: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0), an encyclopedia headed up by Estelore, our star (a true star, who make light and burn in space... but she has a body to come on Earth);

Next it's...

- the Audiobooks project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0), a full-cast audio version of Animorphs who need more "actors" and voices, headed by Kit Cloudkicker (Jess), MrGuy, Morfowt, and Wildweathel;

and here...

- the Graphic Novel project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,416.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,416.0.html) and http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2276.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2276.0.html), a Webcomic headed by Gafrash.

You also have...

- the Smiley project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1691.0.html), we make Animated gifs, smileys about Animorphs (Andalites, Hork-Bajirs...);

here and facing it is...

- the Translation project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1907.0.html), a recently started project/mutual support group for translations into other languages; currently only in French (Tocade, Anidragon and myself), Chinese (Morfowt), Indonesian (Nat), Swedish (Mira and Zana), and Esperanto (Wildweathel); we translate only the volumes never edited in our countries/languages, to make the ebooks;

Next door is for the special project:

- http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3738.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3738.0.html): the adventures of the RAFians;

At the end it's for the little projects:

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3810.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3810.0.html);

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3911.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3911.0.html) to make the planets we hear about in Animorphs;

- the paper-RPG project: a role-playing game (on table, with paper, pen and dices...) about the World of Animorphs; I head this project, and it'll be write in French at the beginning, but we need help to find, class and write everything we know about the species, the planets, the powers we see in Animorphs, fix them, see what we keep and what we can't keep (because of the KASU, not clear, exception for the main characters/books, etc.), complete the knowledges about species/planets we know and even create new species/planets...; this project will be on my own website, so if you wanna join, ask me the link ^^;

- the RPG project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4069.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4069.0.html) to make a video game about Animorphs, with RPGmaker;

- the Command-line game project: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3787.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3787.0.html) for another kind of video game about Animorphs;

- the http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3773.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3773.0.html) where we count all the people killed by the Animorphs;

- the RAFkaraoke: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3150.0.html), where we make songs and sing them... It's pretty new... But please sing with us!

and some other projects who come and go. Please check the list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,13.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,13.0.html)

*Standing in front of Hufsa* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html) 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller.

As you're reading the ebooks, I hope you'll come to the ebook project to help us to correct them. Of course, I understand if you have no time for that ^^ I'm already happy to hear about new anifans.

Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Hufsa can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Hufsa is now alone in the hallway*

Number 2 is my lucky number!

Hello there, Hufsa, and welcome to RAF!  This is a great community with a lot of great members, I can't wait to see you around the boards.  I'm Horsefan, but call me Horse, Horsie, or Seal, because I am a seal.  We have a variety of species on the forum.

Now, don't be thinking we're all immature little kids (Well, SOME of us might be *cough*Blue*cough* :P) but I need your sanity.  RAF is a thoroughly insane place.  And...yes.  You'll lose it eventually...one way or another...*evil laugh*

Lol, just kidding.  Well, the evil laugh was kidding but the rest wasn't.  Aaaaaanyway, a piece of advice.  If you have any technical problems on RAF or questions, ask our mods.  Our mods are Richards, Esplin9466 (I think that's his name right now, he changes it alot) Phoenix004, Goom, and SuperClaire.  If their names change, just look for red and blue fonts and names.  Not dark red like Dameg or navy like my font, this red and this blue.

Once again, welcome, I'm sure you'll have a great time here! :)

Welcome to RAF, Hufsa! We're glad to have you! My SN is Kit Cloudkicker, but everyone calls me Jess. :)
Title: Re: Hello!
Post by: Terenia on January 10, 2010, 01:03:11 PM
Welcome! I'm Terenia, but most people around here call me Teach or Jessi, as I am a teacher and Jessi is my real name (not to be confused with Jess (above) or Jesse).

I hope you have a lot of fun! A word of advice, if you are planning on finishing the series unspoiled I wouldn't recommend spending too much time on the Animorphs Board. If you don't care about being spoiled, go for it. Every couple of weeks I post a re-read topic where we discuss a specific book. We're on #41 right now, so pretty soon I'll be starting back up at #1. I hope to see your input!

We've also got a ton of talented artists and writers here, so be sure to check out the Fanfiction section! If roleplaying is your thing, we have a ton of those as well!

There should be a Meet & Greet coming up for new members in RAFChat. Talk to Gaz, she'll have the next date and time. Stop by to meet all of us!

Welcome once again!

Hi Hufsa! Welcome to RAF! Let us know if you have any questions.

Come hang out on RAFchat some time -- it's a great way to meet folks and become integrated into our wonderful and zany little community.

Oh, to be reading Animorphs for the first time...*siiigh*  Watch out for spoilers around here, though, Hufsa! (Can I call you Huffy?  No that's silly...it sounds too much like Duffy, another RAFian :D)

And above all, welcome to RAF!  I'm Tara, RAFcappellian and...some say...eater of cats, but only in times of great hardship.

Not really, I love kitties  ;D  We're all quite mad here, hope you enjoy!

Welcome to RAF!!!

I'm Spartan 281. AKA Spartan, Parker, Park, Brandon, Shaft.


We have tons of stuff to do! Dameg has already shared a bunch, but one section we have is Role Playing. Since you enjoy RPing, we have two different sections:

http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,6.0.html
There is the popular http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2089.0.html where you can just be your character's self and hang out and "talk" to other characters. Though being a bar, sometimes there are scuffles, but big battles are very rare.

And a number of Animorphs based RPs

Then there's http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/board,23.0.html
Here are any other RPs:

I'm currently running a HALO RP, so if you like HALO (I realize not everyone does), read the rules, PM me your guy, and we'll get you started: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3888.285.html

We have a fun http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2223.2370.html RP where you're yourself(ish) and we sometimes have great adventures, right now we're rescuing Moderators that were transported to different universes.

If you enjoy games like Civilization, there's a great story-based RP where you build an entire world and race: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3641.0.html. Definitely read the intro, and post your interest here: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,3900.0.html

There are a bunch of other fun RPs that you could get into since you like RPing.

Aw, you guys are so sweet! I already love this forum!
I'm sorry I haven't been very active...bear with me please....senior year, and I'm busy with school.
Thanks for the welcomes, everyone! I will keep your...erm...advice in mind. :P
And Dameg...thank you...lol. I have seen some mistakes in the books...will try to help you :)
Tara, sure, I don't mind you calling me Huffy :) I was never called that before...until recently, when another friend at an HP forum gave me that nick. So I don't mind :)
As for the craziness...I think I'll fit right in, because I'm pretty crazy myself :P
(Book # 25 right now...)
Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

Don't worry about your activity. That type of thing doesn't matter much. Some of our more revered members are rarely all that active.

Hello, Hufsa!  Cool name, by the way.  I'm DinosaurNothlit, but most call me Dino, DN, or Nothlit.

And don't worry too much about activity.  I have the attention span of a Garbanzo bean, and so I'm always going off and getting obsessed with one thing or another and forgetting all about RAF, and so far nobody has called me out on it.

Title: Re: Hello!
Post by: MarigoldLesley on January 18, 2010, 08:37:39 AM
lol thanks again everyone!
Dameg, I will try to drop by soon :)
Btw, do you guys upload other ebooks, too? Other series, aside from the Animorphs?
While I was in the States, it was easy to access the books I wanted. It isn't so easy here, unless they're very well known.
Book 29 now...
Title: Re: Hello!
Post by: Dameg on January 18, 2010, 12:19:15 PM
We do Animorphs and Everworld. We finished Remnants. For other ebooks... well, the Translation Project is also an Ebook project, and some people try to post the Goosebumps too. I'd like to have some other ebooks like Shadow Zone and Spooksville but it's personal ;)
And I understand what you mean. I usually have to wait the translations, who take time, and sometimes the books aren't translated, so you have to buy them by Internet and make them come from America...
I hope you'll come to the Ebook Project, 'coz the Animorphs ebooks are... well, they need many correction ^^' and there are so many volumes!! So I always hope for new members to come to help ^^
Title: Re: Hello!
Post by: MarigoldLesley on January 24, 2010, 04:54:57 AM
^ Wow...that does sound like a lot of work. I don't have any of the books, but I will try to help as soon as I have some time. I've been so busy these past days...and keep getting busier. I'm completely failing at my forum life lol.
I was wondering about the Baby Sitters club series...those are a lot, too.
And the Everworld series look very interesting...I hope those are done soon :)
Title: Re: Hello!
Post by: Dameg on January 24, 2010, 08:18:42 AM
They're almost done, in fact ^^ Orego (a RAFian who participate actively on the Ebook project) corrected almost all of them. Just few more little corrections and it'll be OK ^^ But of course, the Animorphs ebooks are far to be finished! It gonna be a lot of work, for sure!

Hey Hufsa ^_^ Welcome to RAF. I'm Aluminator. You can call me whatever. Aluminator. Al. Alum. Lumy. Scott. Schwhatever.

You seem cool- look forward to seeing you around.
