Actually, Sutton, the "original" forum is not the original. Before that there was UOTC, or Tao Circle. Forums, like communities, evolve and develop different tastes and prefferences. And having choices has never been a bad thing.
There have been many, and are many sites called "rings" that the many guilds of Catskills use.
The Catskills Roleplayer's Ring is called new because...well it is new. *shrugs and smiles*
As for the "Catskills" part of the title...well..It has Catskills in the title, right up on the main index page to specify which shard we play on.
Feel free to register as whatever character you are playing now, if you are, and check it out.
There is very little out of character content, no rant section, and the whole site is dedicated entirely to events and stories and in character guild histories. It is flame free and carefully moderated.
This is not Highlander, there does not have to be only one. As stated before, some guilds use both sites. Hopefully this is not taken as a competition, division, or as a threat to the other board, that clearly was not the intention. Each board has a right to exist and to publicize.
It is just a different style of board, with a different style of management.
But it is still the same community using both, assuming that we are welcome at both. We didn't have to choose between those boards and Stratics, now did we?
Now to put the topic back on topic...YES! There is a thriving role playing community on Catskills, growing with new players and old returning playes to join those of us that have been there for 10 years. Feel free to check out the above link for some of the guilds of the community, or if forums aren't your thing and you want in game immersion, a good place to start is the player-ran village of Aegis, easily found by running south-east from the Yew moongate in Tram.
Hope you give us a chance, and see you in game!
