    RP An Overdue Reunion

    A flash of light in the stars of Ayenee heralded the arrival of a starship. A lone ship, the YSS Brilliant, entered the Ayenee star system and headed for the planet, carrying a special guest, the leader of the Star Army of Yamatai, Taisho Ketsurui (Kitsurugi) Yui, there to make a surprise visit...

    Interesting Incident

    I wanted to let you know that Ayenee is dealing with a spamming incident that involves old user accounts being logged in and then used to post cryptocurrency-related links. The accounts were apparently compromised by some sort of password breach elsewhere and then the spammers used those...

    AI Art Generators for Character Pics?

    Has anyone else been getting into artificial intelligence GANs for making pics for characters? I've been making faces on Artbreeder and Waifulabs for a while and backgrounds on Nightcafe, but recently some really cool tools have come out like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion where you can...

    Database of YIM Names?

    I was wondering if there's any interest in trying to compile a list of the names used for roleplay in Yahoo chat. The ideal way to do it would probably be a structure data (think database) on the wiki, which I have a lot of experience doing on the other site I run. These things are just going to...

    Are You Okay?

    Is everyone doing alright IRL? I know a lot of people are having a rough time from the extreme weather. One of my RP buddies had water coming through his ceiling due to busted frozen pipes. I figured this would be a good time to ask: How are you doing, Ayenee people? As for me I'm doing...

    Suggestions?

    Do you guys have any suggestions for me? I know this is a quiet place these days but I'm still interested in improving Ayenee. Some stuff I introduced on Star Army, the other site I run, and could do here are: Xenforo Media Gallery Structured data for the wiki A Suggestions/Ideas Forum where...

    Hey Ayenee roleplayers, It's June now and I was wondering if you guys would like to get together for some sort of summer event - perhaps a beach themed RP open to everyone?

    Memes That Amused Us

    This thread is a dump for memes that made you lol. My favorite meme is a pre-internet one. I love it when someone is caught doing something stupid or "extra" and another person watching this turns to you and says "Get a load of this guy." I know you got some good internet memes saved, so let...

    Email Issues

    Hey Ayenee, I'm getting some bounces back from emails sent by the forum which is telling me that some of the email our server's sending out is not making it. This is likely due to email services like Gmail being very picky about who they accept mail from (especially with IPV6. I am currently...

    Welcome to Xenforo 2!

    This morning, we successfully upgraded our forum installation to the new XenForo 2 software, which is one of the best and newest forum software packages in the world. You'll find most of the stuff is the same as our older Xenforo 1.5 installation but there's been a ton of under-the-hood...

    Forum Consolidation Proposal

    Hey guys, Due to low activity levels, I think that we seem to have too many forums for the amount of actual posts we are getting. Put simply, it makes us look dead. So, I'm proposing a sort of consolidation of the existing forums so that all of the forums left are forums that are active...

    Basic Assumptions about Ayenee

    I think we should create some basic "common facts" about what Ayenee actually is. These will come in handy as we rebuild the realm from archives and fill in the blanks. So, here's what I think would be good basic assumptions about Ayenee: There is an Earth-like planet named Ayenee The Ayenee...

    Regular Recon (2017)

    Somewhere in the Farthest Reaches of Space Appearing in a shimmering burst of light, the Ayame-class Star Army Intelligence ship YSS Listener, Imperial Registry Number YC-31, entered the Ayenee universe for regular recon run. The Listener activated its stealth systems and stayed in deep space...

    HTTPS-Only

    The site has been updated to use HTTPS for all traffic now. This helps protect your privacy and keep your passwords from being snooped on. Every site that has a login should be HTTPS, and Ayenee is no exception! The change is that we supported HTTPS before but you could still get to the site...

    Conventions

    I'll be at Momocon in Atlanta, GA this weekend (maybe I'll even run into Corban there, I think he's local), and next weekend I'm going to ConCarolinas in Charlotte, NC. If anyone wants to meet up let me know. Additionally I always attend Dragon Con in Atlanta on Labor Day weekend. Are you guys...

    Forum Style Cleanup

    I've added a new default style to Ayenee's forum, which I've named "Ayenee is Awesome." Some of our older styles are out of date, maintained, and/or have issues so I want to retire them. Specifically: Flexile Dark Darkness Also available is a XenForo 2.0 style, which is a backported style...

    The Ayenee Wiki is Live

    Ayenee now has a wiki! You can access it here: https://ayenee.org/wiki/ Important: The wiki and the forum have separate login systems, so you'll have to set up an account for it. I've set up a basic structure so far and some main pages. Now I need you, fellow Ayenee people, to info-dump all...

    In-Character Timeline

    I would like to start documenting some of the history of Ayenee, and it got me asking about the IC timeline? How is time measured in Ayenee? What are the calendars used? What year is it now? Does IC time have any relationship to OOC time? Currently I'd have to describe the events of Ayenee...

    Taverns & Places Project

    Varsinax recently said a truism that "Ayenee started in a tavern" and that made be think of all the various taverns that made up a large portion of the landscape of Ayenee's rooms. Other common rooms were forests (often magical), castles and/or people's personal mansions. I was thinking that I...

    Taking Down the Old Forum

    You've probably seen that a ton of sites are being hacked because they're using old of date versions of vBulletin. The previous incarnation of this forum, which is over at newayenee.org, is running a very out-of-date copy of vbulletin and is at risk. In the interest of protecting users' personal...

    Staff and Forum Cleanup

    As a security and housekeeping measure, I will be removing members from the staff/admin/moderator positions if they don't post something in the next 30 days. After that, we may do staff recruiting based on the site's needs. Obviously if we're going to get Ayenee going again, we need active...

    Chat Room?

    If you've used my other site, Star Army, you've problem seen we have a chat system on our forum that supports multiple rooms. On Ayenee, we could use this for making roleplaying rooms. The chat system is almost as robust as the old Yahoo chatrooms were. Is there interest in adding a chat system...

    New Logo?

    I've used the historic Ayenee.org coat of arms as the emblem at the top of the forum for now, but I kind of need something more horizontal. Suggestions?

    Forum Software Successfully Updated

    Hello, everyone! I've successfully migrated the Ayenee.org forums, previously at NewAyenee.org, to their new home at Ayenee.org. We've abandoned an old version of vBulletin 3 for a shiny new XenForo installation. Things went well it the migration overall, although somehow my account (and just my...

    Forum software update

    There's been some suggestion that I take over responsibility for hosting the forum and give it an update, so I thought I'd post my thoughts here: I'm willing to do it and to put some money into it. I've been running Star Army's RP forum for 14 years so I have a lot of experience in hosting a...

    Regular Recon (2016)

    Somewhere in the Farthest Reaches of Space A violent explosion of light momentarily lit up the void as an starship crossed over in the universe of Ayenee. To the people back home, this was just another ship in mothballs, but secretly the old ship, Ayame-class YSS Listener (YC-31) with its...
