You know what you could do, though, is link to them in your board signature. 
I mean, don't go overboard, but you could list them as your most recently opened or updated.
(But seriously, don't go overboard with it! XD)

Yup, Danielle fixed it for me, but it was because of the quotation marks. I had done the update in Word as opposed to Notepad and that was the result. Although, I'm sort of confused too, because I've done it in Word before and that's never been the result.

Full update of apps and forms I received before 9/11. There are some topics that are still being debated and will be added later.
Likewise, I'm still working through the rejection emails... there are quite a few unfortunately.
You should hear from me by tomorrow at the latest.

I'm going to be talking to SS about it to clarify things, but Paris is still Paris, even if it was 5,000 years ago.
You can go ahead and apply for it and I'll get back to you with an answer sometime this weekend.

The best thing to do is if you have any doubts about the validity of "real life" places, explain IN DETAIL about how they differ and maybe provide me with a few links that you think would be helpful. :bounce:

That's EXACTLY what my inarticulate self was trying to say, thanks Rose. :bounce:
Dimmie... the fact that it's hard to come up with an example for what you're getting at sort of implies that it might not be that big of a problem... But I think for now we're just going to stick with no past places, because in theory they are still in existence. Like, OK: with the Moon Kingdom in Sailormoon, it existed in the past, but it's still up there presently in the series, even if it's destroyed/not inhabited.

OK, I'm actually not 100% sure myself, but if I had to guess why past wouldn't be allowed it would be for the following reason:
The word past implies that the present is reflective on what has already happened. You can't apply for a period of time itself, but, at the same time, what's happened in the past usually involves real places because we know what happened. For example, Feudal Japan, even though it's filled with monsters and whatnot in Inuyasha, was still an actual time/place--actually, that's more of a time period if you think about it. Because in the show they're bouncing all over the place... but anyway.
The future is probably OK because we have no idea what it's going to be like, or what's going to happen. It's more like "a new world" because there is no definite answer for what it will be like.
Like I said, I'm not 100%, but I'll have a Senior Staffer clarify. :bounce:

The SS has decided on the following rules for the I/L category:
1. No Alternate Universes
2. Real Places: Tokyo and Tokyo Tower would be NO, but Crystal Tokyo and Megatokyo would be all right as they are significantly different from the real-life place.
3. Past/Future: Locations in the past are not allowed, but locations in the future are.
4. Subdivisions of certain places. For example, if Crystal Tokyo had had a major place in BSSM I could approve both, but do NOT expect me to approve most buildings and rooms.
5. Companies/schools: a few people have applied for companies and schools (especially in Prince of Tennis). By applying for it in the I/L section, you are just applying for the building itself, not the people inside. If you'd like both, you MUST cross-list with Characters. (The Character staffers and I have been cross-listing the Prince of Tennis schools because I/L corresponds to school itself and Characters to the team.)
6. Items groups: If it can be broken down individually, no groups are approvable. This means that even though you see, for example, Usagi's henshin items, you are still not allowed to apply as that topic is being "grandfathered" into the category. (This basically means that like topics are exempt from the rules as the rules are sort of ex post facto)
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please post here. I am trying to work through the applications and will be done with them by Monday at the latest (crazy weekend at college, I'm afraid). It will be a full category update. :bounce:
