Lords of the Past Thread Backup

| LOTP Sporecast | List of members |

The Lords of the Past (or LOTP) are a group of people who like and create prehistoric creatures. We accept members from creators of the fierce carnivorous dinosaurs, to makers of gentle mammoths. We can share our newest prehistoric creations with each other and I will host some group contests, make a Lords of the Past sporecast and we can talk about anything prehistoric.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
To join, post a few of your prehistoric creations and I will judge whether or not they are good enough to join (note: I won’t be too hard though ). Remember: we are looking for real animals, not just a creature with the shortensnout mouth and the raptorclaws feet named ‘REX’.

Requirements:
1. At least one prehistoric creation.
2. An interest in prehistory

If you are accepted, you will be added to the list of members and you will be allowed to enter the contests and if you want, I can add your prehistoric creations to the LOTP sporecast.

We now have a sister group: the Lords of the Unknown. They are similar to us, except they are revolved around Cryptozoology, the study of hidden animals, like the Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch and many others. If you already have an interest or are now interested, I strongly suggest checking them out.

RANKING SYSTEM:

Ranks are used to determine the status of each other while talking on the forums. There are a few ways to rank up:

Method 1:
Making prehistoric creatures gives you points. 1 creatures = 5 points.
Method 2:
Recruiting someone gives you 20 points.(It only counts if I accept the person you recruited.)
Method 3:
Winning a contest gives you 60 points for 1st
Method 4:
A new idea for events, threads and contests gives you 5 points. (Starting the thread yourself gives you another 15 points, but only if it is done right. Not just a one sentence OP briefly describing the topic.)
It should be noted that there is currently no one to keep track of points and there are too many members for me to keep track of them myself, so if you want to use points, you'll need to keep track of them on your own.

If you have another idea for ways to get points than tell me and I will consider it ;D
