In order to view all the topics posted, you have to be a member first!

Guest

The officers of the forum have decided that any member that has been inactive for so long will be deactivated. We are giving them one month to at least show themselves and post.

We will set some criteria before we deactivate the inactive users.

If you haven't visited for 30 days, we will deactivate your username and you have to ask permission to activate it from the admin/s first, then the officers will discuss whether the member will stay or not.

You all have to comply with this criteria before we allow you to activate your account:

1.) If you are just a viewer of the post out here, it's your risk. We will deactivate the suspicious characters. Talk to the Assistant Librarians for your request of activation.

2.) For the forum officers, you're all cleared, no need for any explanation for the long absence. You will stay with the group and continue enjoying the benefits of being a BW member.

3.) To those who haven't posted anything at all please introduce yourself at the least.

Why are we doing this? There can be a lot of reason but mainly to see those who are still active in the forum. We also want to know you guys, at least a little bit more.

Thank You for your cooperation.

Additional Rules

(formulated and modified by Ms. Moonrose)

1. Post your opinion in a nice way.
Let’s avoid using foul words.

2. Value each and everyone’s opinion.
We must not tolerate people discriminating someone else’s POV, using unnecessary and hurtful words.

3. Avoid spam posting.
Sad to say, we are all guilty on this one. One example of Spam Posting is replying or commenting with smileys only. Another example is a one liner post that has no sense at all.

4. Avoid post bumping.
Post bumping, e.g. you post around 9:45am then you realize you forgot to mention something so you made a new post around 9:50am. Few minutes lang ang pagitan. You bump your own post, ika nga. What you can do is click the “edit” button in the right side of your post and add whatever you wanted to add. An exemption to this is kung matagal na ang nakalipas and you wanted to say something on that thread, either the same topic as before or different kind of topic na. Several people are doing this in different threads. Please avoid this. Don’t make this a habit just because you are aiming a certain number of posts to be able to have an access to the BW’s free enovels or because you are aiming to be on the top post list. Be fair to other members. There are lots of topics in this forum.

5. Post a comment in the proper thread.
Each topic and comments has its own thread.
