Psychology of Writing prides itself on being a friendly and open site for writers, role-players and artists of all kind. All minds deeply involved in, or even simply abutting the edges of, creative endeavors will find a warm and flexible environment with us. One of our most popular aspects is writing and role-playing, with a community dedicated to fantastic dialogues.​

There have been a lot of updates to PoW. Make sure to take a moment to pop over and check everything out.
 
There are only a few more days to submit your haiku to the contest. Make sure to check out this thread for instructions. Good luck to all those who participate!
 
Our October contest is now in full swing! We are hosting a scary story contest, so if you're interested in what goes "bump" in the night, make sure to check this one out! To view contest details, make sure to check out the contest thread.

We also have also added a new section to PoW, 'Other Arts.' This section for those who may not necessarily write or draw, but perhaps sing, play an instrument, that are into photography, video making/editing, and more.

There have been a lot of updates happening on Psychology of Writing these past few weeks. Some of which, one may not even notice, but fear not, I’ll tell you all about them.

We have finally decided on a chat for PoW, which can be found on the bottom of the index page. You can customize not only your font color, but your font style as well. Is this chat going to be permanent? Don’t know. If a better, more advance, chat comes along, the current one may be replaced down the line. We also have a handful of new smilies thanks to our Global Critic, Reina. ^^ We also have a new set of ranks for our Critics and a new banner has also been added to the site; though we’re unsure as to how long the latter will be up as there is rumor of a theme change after Halloween.

Our new section, “Other Arts,” is now completely finished and now contains the appropriate instructs on how to insert audio to your post for those musically inclined. We have also added an award system, so that members may acquire awards for helping the site in one way or another. Celebrating a birthday? You get a special birthday award to wear on your profile for that day. Speaking of profiles, we have added a Skype modification, enabling you to add your Skype name and allow other users to know if you’re using Skype to chat or if you’re currently offline.

We’ve added a lot and there’s still more to come, but have removed one thing from the site. The Advertising section has been removed due to the abuse of it by guests. People weren’t following the rules, so it had to go. Sorry to those who actually followed the rules, but it only takes one person to ruin it for everyone; though, in this case, it was more than just one.

So, I think that about covers all of the changes, but I still have one more thing to announce before I close this up. Psychology of Writing is currently hosting a Scary Story Contest for the Halloween season. All entries will be posted throughout Halloween day and the winning story will be posted at midnight on October 31st; for more information on the contest, Click Here. Also on Halloween, we are planning on hosting a small event. Nothing huge, just a bit of fun, so make sure to stop by on October 31st to join in on the festivities!

Welp, I think that about covers everything that’s been going on over on PoW. Make sure to take a moment and come check us out. We hope to see you there!

Rules have recently been updated so that they are more organized and clearer. Make sure to check them out when you visit the forum!
 
Oh, was that chat box just added? It is well integrated, and seems clearly to have been designed with MyBB in mind. Also, good placement. My only question is if you are able to add a functional collapse icon to its top-right, as the forum sections above the chat box, and the Board Statistics below it, already do.

Of course, it is not a big issue, but I suppose some members may prefer to minimize its visibility as much as possible if they do not want to use it, and there are plenty of people who are not fond of chat boxes so they may appreciate it. For the record, I am not one of those people who dislike chat boxes and think they drain activity, and you may already be aware of that since you probably read my article on chat boxes.
 
Oh wow, it's been a while since I've had the time to pop on here it seems.

The chat box had actually been there a while when you asked about it, Medora. I tried tinkering with adding the collapse option, but every time I tried, it messed up the coding. I may actually be switching to a new chat box or even to a chat room at some point down the line, it's just a matter of finding one with everything I want/need it to have.

And yeah, I read that article. It was really informative and helpful when I was debating as to whether or not I should keep it. I actually recently got rid of it for a day and members were so upset about it. They really like it and enjoy how it makes plotting role-plays easier between them.
 
Happy New Year from Psychology of Writing!​

We hope you have a safe and happy celebration and a wonderful upcoming year.

In celebration of the New Year, we do have some new features for all of our members.
  • Gamer Tags - For the gamers out there, you may now add your Xbox Live, PS3, and Wii ID tags to your profile.
  • Skype ID - This feature was around for a short while, removed, and now it is back. Add your Skype name to your profile and start checking with your fellow PoWers.
  • Blogs - Each member can now access their own blog. With these blogs you can set it to “Private” or “Public”, add tags to your blog, and receive comments on your blog if you so choose.
  • New Theme - Unfortunately the new theme was not ready for the first day of the New Year, but it is coming. We hope to see the new theme in place sometime later this month, so make sure to keep an eye out.
  • Book Club - Psychology of Writing is now equip with a book club that all members may join via their UCP. We will pick a book to read and discuss every so often--depending on the length of the book it may be a longer or shorter amount of time. Once we are nearing the end of one book, we will vote on the next book to read.
  • New Chat Room - We are currently also looking into a new chat room with more features such as sound, private chats, and so on. We hope to have it installed within the next couple of days.
We hope that you enjoy the new features and those that will be implemented in the future. We are open to suggestions and would love to hear your ideas because without those suggestions and ideas, we will not be able to improve for the better.

We hope to see you soon at http://www.psychologyofwriting.org!
