We are planning on increasing the number of static slots and having a marquee beneath them (am not bothered about how it looks in the footer :P).

While working on a little affiliating I stumbled upon admins who weren&#039;t advertising. They liked the number of members they had, and didn&#039;t feel they needed anymore.  As a advertising crazed admin, that concept feels insane. I&#039;d love to hear more about people&#039;s reasons behind this.<br />

-Players can choose from on any number of character types including Studio executives, On screen talent, Agents, Critics, Journalists, etc.<br />
<br />
-The overall theme is Hollywood. No over arching &quot;plot&quot; but the individual roleplays can be films.<br />

-The biggest requirement for the site is a box office system. Everything else is pretty open.<br />
