It may be hard to believe, but I've been webmaster of the RPG Maker Pavilion for just a tiny bit over five years now. that's a loooooong time.

I don't plan on going away just yet, though. And that's why I've been so busy. Just about five years ago, around this time of year, I started planning my big renovation of the RPG Maker Pavilion, the version of the website you see in front of you right now.

In order to keep going, big changes have to happen. The community is changing, the RPG Maker franchise is changing. We have to adapt. The pavilion as it is right now is a very basic site. I'd describe it as just a collection of lists. That won't do. The community here deserves more, and the community here will get more.

The RPG Maker Pavilion is going to have to be rebuilt from the ground up. I've been planning this for most of the year, and I've finally reached the point that I can't tolerate how this website looks and functions anymore. It's too basic, and it doesnt treat it's own content with the respect it deserves.

I'm going to be needing to bring on more staff to help me with this. If you're interested, PM me telling me what you think needs to change most here, and what you could bring to the site if you were on staff. This will not be forum staff, this will be website staff. you won't be promoted to a staff position for months.

This is the only post I'll be making about the new version of the site until the day it launches.
