Ok so me Rachy and Taboo all were chatting on MSN, and i brought up the idea of doing separate accounts for each wolf. And as taboo and rachy said it would make the site more organized and look a lot better. as well as make it look like we have more members which would bring in more people. And we all agreed on it but we also want to make sure that everyone here would be ok with it.
Though If you are part of staff that means the people over there on that staff team side table, You MUST have an account that is JUST for Staff stuff and then you will have your other accounts. So that means the account that you signed up with will be your staff account and then you will have to go and make how ever many accounts you need for wolves.

My beef with seperate accounts steams from when I was searching for a new site to join. I looked to see how manymembers there were because I was overflowing withmuse and needed tovent quickly. This site said they had 30ish members, so I joined. It enede upbeing like five members. andthe site was a bust. It's miss leading when you have to make seperate accounts.

Here’s why I think we should have separate accounts:
ORGANIZATION above all :3
- Custom titles - right now your custom title is probably the rank of the first wolf you put on the site, but what happens if you get another rank you would like to show instead?
(Take mine for example. I have Taboo as betaess of Aracnia. Which is fine for now because my other character is a loner, but what happens if I bring in other wolf and it gets another high/important rank? If we have separate accounts, I could show both without there being a problem.)
- Sig/avatar - Well, we all like to put the pictures of our wolves up as our sigs and avatars from time to time, but things start to look a little cluttered when you try to add all your wolves on just the one sig/avvie.
- Member count - Of course, we would look like we have more members than we do and that could be a problem, but I don’t see this being a very large problem because we are a fairly active site and we do have quite a few members. We’re not struggling, that’s for sure. In fact, I think the increased organization and over all cleanliness of the site would actually bring in more members.
- Name colors - your name, same as your custom title, is probably the color belonging to the pack your first character joined… now, how are people going to know what pack your other characters are in (if any), without having to hunt your bio down, if you aren’t able to show the color on your name?
- Population control - A very common problem on all role play sites is the population. People tend to create character that are rarely or never played. With the separate account, people would be less likely to do such because they don’t want to keep logging out and in all the time. This will make people stick to a number they are comfortable with playing and having to login to constantly.
- Staff Management - I don‘t know if the normal members take into account that the staff, Nyx above all, has to keep up with the site information and the side tables. It would be far easier for her and the others if the accounts were separate. It would make the New, Current Bans, and Spotlight so much easier, as well as things like the pack statistics.
The only problem I have with the separate accounts is the staff account… I don’t really see myself logging into the staff account as much as I do my character accounts, giving the appearance that the staff is not on. I’d rather just leave my staff account as my main character, Taboo.
Agree or disagree, I’m not here to judge :3

Well I think it's a good idea though I think there should be a cap on the amount of characters we have because it seems a lot of characters are being made but aren't being used in any threads.
Also I think we should make a chart that shows whose characters belong to whom that visitors and other people will be able to notice see. Like a character roster or something like that.
So Yeah I vote yes to separate accounts.
