If you hummed Adele, hugs for you. If not, hugs for you anyway.
I'm Val, I'm here from an email RP that is migrating to your lovely forum! The same email RP has gotten me interested in trying to create a character to join in on the main RP you guys do here...though I feel a bit at a loss as to where to start.
It's been probably close to 10 years since I've role played on a forum (that's no exaggeration, I'm old in RP years. Good ol' Neopets is literally the last time I role played outside of email. Yikes, that dates me...), and I'm a little nervous that I won't know how! But I like to do things that make me nervous, so I'm game to stretch the old comfort zone and give it a try!
From what I've read in my lurkings thus far, I feel honored to be allowed to join in on your stories.

Also, I have questions.... there are about 1000 little boards (the high school, the garden, the this place and the that, and each of those has 1000 boards (the drama room, the cafeteria...)), how do you know where to go? And do you have to move to a different board as the story moves (confusing?) Or just stay on the board you started on?
Can more than one person join a thread, or is it 1x1? How do you get a partner and get started?
Thanks for your help guys x

Adele would certainly be the most sensible and topical answer. Unfortunately the only thing going through my mind was this.So to answer some of your questions: Basically you can RP wherever you wish. The setting is to your discretion. Many people will start the board where there actual character is starting out or where they are heading. For example, my character is reading a book in the library...so I make a thread in the library. However they can also be in places you plan to transition to or move to further down the line. Like if my character is waiting for lunch but currently in class. I'm planning to have the main setting be in the Cafeteria but I'm currently in a classroom...no problem, I'll be putting it in the Cafeteria anyway. You don't need to move boards if you don't wish. Basically it's up to you! Here's an example of a thread that moved around a lot just for the fun of it: clannadrp.proboards.com/thread/2629/frivolous-festivitiesIn short, it's all up to you. Wherever you feel your thread will fit you are free to put it there. You need not move around just because your characters change locations, but if you'd like to move around you are free to do that as well. More then one person can join a thread. Usually in the title people will put who they intend to have join the thread. If you have a specific person in mind or two specific people in mind you can have the title of your thread followed by there characters. Something like this: "This is my cool thread name[Person A and Person B]." You can also just use the tag [Open] to allow anyone to join. You can get started on the main board after making a character or immediately just start RPing in the "Another World" section if you want to be a bit more imaginative and RP some things outside of this setting. That section is basically a free for all. As for finding a partner...well that just requires talking to people. Oi! Come say hi to our new member all of you! (You can also chat in the C-box in the right or join us on Skype. Personal messages are also cool too. There's also a separate out of character area if you just want to ever want to chat about out of character things)

Ok, first off, why are all Japanese things unbearably cute? (Unless they're deadly, like samurais (samurai...samurais?)...) Second, thanks for the rundown. I feel more able to function now that I'm less confused.

...From the other side. :3c
Hello! My characters are Inoue Kohaku and Densetsu Karu. Welcome to Dango Daikazoku!
...That was Vivo, my fellow administrator. Everything that Vivo said is more or less true; if you have more questions, feel free to ask us or say something in the cbox. We also have a guide for newcomers to the site, so that might help you settle in. Especially read the character creation section as it will help you understand what we look for in our application process.
Hm...! So, I have to ask: have you seen/played Clannad? (If not, that's no problem. We have a lot of members who are not that familiar with the source material.) And, ooh, an email RP... so did you RP partner refer you to us, or did you find us by chance? Haha, I hope you don't mind all the questions.
One more thing: as Vivo said, we have a Skype group for the site. If you want to join, feel free to add me. If you don't want to join or don't have Skype, that's fine too! Joining the group is not a requirement and you can easily get a hold of us via PM or the cbox.
Looking forward to knowing you, Val!

Oh I probably should have mentioned that was me. I was actually planning on continuing it in Another World. Look forward to it all of you ;D

Hi Legend! I have read the newcomers stuff and the rules, and Vivo answered my other questions, so I feel better equipped to get going now! Actually, Vivo is my email RP haha, who so kindly invited me to join. I have not seen it, or any other anime, I'm afraid. But I may have a look at it, to get a feel for it and know a but more what the heck I'm doing.

Hi Val and welcome~ ^_^
Sorry for the late reply! I meant to greet you earlier but was either busy or distracted at the time then forgot to come back to it. Dx

I'm happy to have another new member here, and I look forward to seeing you rp and also possibly rping together~
Hope you have fun here!
