The Four Clans Gazette
---Issue 21

Welcome: Souki is our newest member, a rogue. Welcome!
Congrats: Heatherpaw from Thunderclan is now Heatherstripe!

Guess What?
Today is The Four Clans one year anniversary! Exactly one year ago, this forum was created. To celebrate, this is going to be a very special issue of TFCG, dedicated to the users who made this active forum possible, and to the lasting friendships on this forum. Enjoy the User Interviews done by the mods, and other special sections. Thank you for keeping this forum alive and being with us!

IMO
For this IMO, many users PMed me an answer to this question: Who is your best friend or best group of friends on this site? What users have changed your online experience forever because theyre your besties? Who is very special to you and youd do anything for them even though theyre just a user? Here are their answers!

Moonstar: Though everyone on this site is very dear to me, Ebonycloud, Tabbystripe, and Flamepelt are some of my closest friends because they are always there for me no matter what. Even if I may not be their best friends or whatever, I still love them. =D And although some may be a little older or younger than the other, all I see are equals because I appreciate them despite age and I couldnt do without. I know Flamepelt in real life and she is one of my closest friends. Shes hilarious and is always there to cheer you up when youre feeling down, plus shes the most supportive friend anybody could ever ask for (and shes pretty ^^ Not that I base my friends off of their looks, shes just very hard on herself and doesnt think shes good at anything or looks pretty or whatever. So believe it!). I have known Tabbystripe online now for about a year and a half and we have been besties as far back as I can remember, but she is basically your shoulder to cry on because shes so lovable. Ebonycloud is just amazing. She gives the best advice and is just an all around great friend. Oh, and shes probably not aware of it yet, but I think Flight is completely pwnsome! I know that practically everybodys her bff, but I really like her! Shes such an amazing friend, and shes FUNNY! Same with Twiggers! I love her too! And Lilacpool! And Lilypaw! And Night! And Vally! And goes on and on-. Come to think of it, I love everyone. X3 Im lucky to have met them.

Shadowstorm:Shadowstorm: Well, I'd have to say that my besties are Ebonycloud, Twigstorm, Moonstar, Flightstep, Goldheart, Lightwing, Rosestar, Wetstar, and bunches of others. All of the people on the forum have kinda changed me. I mean, I normally don't talk much, but on here, you can't make me stop!
I'd do almost anything for any of my friends. :)
Except drawing requests (actually I do hand out a few every once in a while). -.-;;;

Lilacpool: My true friends:

Flight: My BFF on this site and off. I can't thank her enough for stopping me from going 'to the dark side.' I hope she understands what I mean. AND she was the one to first get me involved with Warriors so that's another 5 million points for her!!
I don't know how I could live without her!!! LOVE YOU FLIGHTTTT!!!
(Aka Frizzy :] )
Btw frizz- our roller coaster looks pretty steady from now on. ;]

Twiggers!!: This kid is ah-may-zing. She is a great roleplay buddy, a caring person, and one of the greatest friends I could ask for. Within the first couple of days on this site, we had already discovered each other, and when I had to leave the site for a while I know that she carried on the spirit of Lilacpool as if I was there roleplaying with her.
LOVE YA TWIGGERSS!!!

Bubbleshine/ Lilypaw: My little medicine cat apprentice!! She has changed so much from when I first talked to her on the forums. She went from being just a cat of RiverClan to being one of my BFFs. She is so much fun to talk to and an amazing writer! LOVE YA BUBBLE/ LILYPAW!!! (You will always be Bubbleshine to me!)

Rustfur: Although she is not on the site anymore, she will live on with me forever. She made a large impact on my daily life. I would be so excited to get home from school so that I could 'roleplay with Rustfur!' I miss her dearly and she will never be forgotten in my book! LOVE YA RUSTFUR!!!

Moonstar: Without Moonstar where would I be?? Where would any of us be? I have MANY a reason to thank Moonstar. She changed my life for the better. Although she does not know it... my life changed dramatically upon joining this site. I will never forget this. Even when I am old and crippled, ( :[ ) I will look back and remember Moonstar for her creativity, her kindness to everyone on the site, her wonderful writing, and her GREAT sense of humor!! LOVE YA MOONSTAR!!

I TRUELY LOVE ALL THESE PEOPLE AND I NEED TO THANK THEM FOR SAVING ME!!! :]

The next IMO: Which Warriors cat do you think you most resemble and why? Send your thoughts to Moonstar, and your answer most likely will appear in the next issue! Please do not post your answer, PM it to me. ^_-

User Interview!

Wolfs Interview
Wolf: Hi, Blizzy!!! Since the forum will be 1 years old in September, Moonstar decided that each mod should interview a member (actually, it was my idea, but she set limits for it. >_<)
First question: What do you like to do in your spare time?

Blizzardclaw: Kill people in Halo....or draw.

Wolf: Cool. Question 2: What's your favorite food?

Blizzardclaw: You ask weird questions.
Potstickers!

Wolf: XD I know.
Awesome. So, any games you particularly enjoy on the forum?

Blizzardclaw: "The Person Below Me" game is very fun!

Wolf: Cool. Final question: Anything you think we need to improve on in the forum?

Blizzardclaw: Hmm..... Not sure, it seems to be doing fine right now.

Wolf: Alright then...
Well, thanks for this very... insightful interview. I'd ask more questions, but for some reason Moonstar limited the amount of questions to four. DX
Thanks again! =)

Tabbys Interview!

Tabbystripe: What's your favorite thing about Warrior Cats: The Four Clans?

Fireheart: Fave thing? The nice people xD.

Tabbystripe: You were originally an apprentice training to be a warrior before you became a medicine cat, which I can relate to because I was a warrior before becoming a medicine cat apprentice. Why did you choose to train as a medicine cat instead?

Fireheart: Well, I like to help people with things. So, I decided to become a medicine cat, and I love it!

Tabbystripe: That's great, you're really valuable to your Clan! Is they're anyone you became good friends with that you didn't know before joining Warrior Cats: The Four Clans?

Fireheart: Yup. Tabbystripe -wink, wink- and Ebonycloud.

Tabbystripe: LOL! :D Awesome, do you think Warrior Cats has changed since it's opening a year ago, and do you think it changed for the better?

Fireheart: Ehh....well, I do think it changed. And not that much.

Fan Mail!

Dear TFCG,
Hey. I enjoy reading the news and all, but I think you need to add more things about Wolfy. =P
Rock on. [/monotone]
From,Wolf

Dear TFCG,
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Just giving a shout-out to the bestedest gazette in the wurld!
From,Lilyspirit

Ask Cinderpelt!

Dear Cinderpelt,
There's this girl that is like a barnacle. She attaches herself to my friends and I and is really mean. We don't like her, but she thinks we do. Whenever I talk to guys, she says "______'s flirting!" right out loud. I get really mad at her, but I have reason to. At the school dances, she follows us around like a puppy, and we scramble to get away from her. She is really annoying and really rude. She is always saying the negatives about you. I don't really know what I'm asking for help with, but... HELP!
-Don't Like Her!

Dear Dont Like Her,
Wow... Seems to me like she is really annoying. Well I have had a problem like that in the past. Its tough to say when or if it will end. It is very apparent that you dont like her and that she gets on your last nerve. All I can really say is try to tough it out. Drops hints that she should look for friendship elsewhere. As for the things she says try to brush it off or tell her that its not cool to do that. If you let her get away with it she will keep doing it. Its like laughing at the class clown because he or she did something funny. If you laugh it encourages them to continue. Try to tell her and drop hints that its not cool to do that. Sorry if I cant be of much help. I hope this has given you some advice in anyway.

Always concerned,
Cinderpelt

The Four Clans History

About a week ago, I shared a snippet of this forums history with Lilacpool and she really enjoyed it. So I decided to thoroughly talk about how this forum got to what it was today. This is actually really interesting, and I suggest reading it.Before this forum even existed, I was working very hard to create an active activeboard forum. When one failed, I tried again. But you could tell that I really wanted one to get off the ground. To emphasize my point, I am going to give you the list of activeboards I created as a desperate attempt to create an active one. None of the shown ones have harmful content. The only one I am not going to show you is one I made for my real-life friends only, which has personal information I wouldnt normally expose. These forums are in no order, as Ive forgotten which ones came first.

Horsie.activeboard.com
Nnf.activeboard.com
Unleashed.activeboard.com

So as you can see, it took MANY tries to get an active forum, which goes to show you, never give up. Also, in case you were wondering. Tabby and I were best friends on Stormfurs site, so she joined the activeboards I would make. Wolf also joined a couple, and maybe some people Im forgetting.None of those forums did very well. It was probably because the themes were not incredibly popular.So exactly a year ago, I attempted at another forum, hoping it would fly. That was The Four Clans. Im pretty sure Stormfur was the only user who joined on the day I made it. I got some of my real life friends to join too, but here are the very first cats to join the different Clans:

ThunderClan- Stormfur
RiverClan- Moonstar
WindClan- Fireheart or Levistorm (now Wolf). Pretty sure it was Fireheart, though. If so, my notes deceive me.
ShadowClan- Blizzardclaw

So congratulations to them for being the first ones!Id also like to add a list of the very ORIGINAL boards, before we made changes. So here they are, in order of top to bottom (Im pretty sure I remember all of them, but if I make a mistake, someone please correct me):

The Rules of the Warriors Forum
---
Choosing Your Position
Apprentice Naming Ceremonies
Warrior Naming Ceremonies
---
The Original Series Book Discussion
The New Prophecy Book Discussion

The Power of Three Book Discussion
---
Warriors Discussion (Im pretty sure this was an original board, but maybe it was added a tiny bit later)
---
ThunderClan
ShadowClan
WindClan
RiverClan
---
[This section is tricky. Please point out any mistakes; its hard to remember since this section has changed a lot]
Fan-Fiction [?]
Games and Activities
Sig Shops and Galleries
Suggestions

The only one Im really not sure about is the Fan-Fiction board. I think that was added slightly later, but its really hard to remember. I KNOW the Art Rock wasnt there, though, and Im pretty sure there were at least four starting Other Stuff boards, so yeah.It was very inactive at first. Stormfur and I tried so hard to get more users. In fact, glance back at this extremely old thread:

http://wc.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=115427&p=3&topicID=13752917

Also, note how I have changed my internet talking style. xD I sound so different back then.Another one of Stormfurs 18 (from the linked thread) was Rain. Thats how Rainpelt joined the forums, through Stormfur. Ill always remember how Stormfur and I reacted when we saw another user online besides us: Rainpaw.
OHMYGOSH! IM HYPERVENLATING! I AM SOOO HAPPY! THANK YOU SO MUCH STOMRFUR! YOU ARE AMAZING!

OHMYGOSH SHE ACTUALLY JOINED!!!! YAYYYY!!!
I got motivated and messaged at least 50 deviantART people sometime in November. I got some more users from that too. And I think the word just spread after that, and thats how we got everybody else.
TFCs history is very interesting to me, and it has a great message. If you really want something, sometimes you just need to keep trying. Eventually, if its really meant to be, itll fly!
Thank you for reading. =D
