Forum: News and Announcements

Well, here we go again! A few weeks shy into 2010 and the staff, believe it or not, is putting things together to build a new VAA based around your feedback. I'm sure you've already noticed the slight changes in the forum-software; we've been steadily upgrading the forum system to that of the...

09/09/08 - The September Forum Changes - Part 1 In an effort to direct the focus to the voice acting and producing aspect of the community, accompanying the recent release of the Social Groups and Social Forums, we have decided to move the following forums to the Social Forums system. -...

I would like to clear up some matters on behalf of the staff, mostly regarding the changes. We currently don't have a test area for additions, meaning we're forced to use the VAA as a testing pool. We could totally choose to shut down the board for members until further notice and give you no...

Just wanted to let you know of a new feature here: Reputation. If you particularly like someone's post, you can click the "Karma" button (if using the Greenfox skin) or the icon that looks like a little balance (if using one of the other styles) and add to their reputation rating. You can also take...

Alright, kids... You may have noticed that we have social groups now. Now, this is a feature that has good potential, so I'm going to keep it on. HOWEVER, there's also much potential for abuse with social groups. So, I'm going to put down a few guidelines for the creation of new groups. Good...

Alright, boys and girls. At the time of writing this, it is currently 5:48AM PST! So, as many of you noticed, the forum was offline from around 10:30PM PST until.. well, just before I posted this message - whatever time that may be. This project was a huge test of my patience, but with any...

Dear members of the VAA: Tomorrow night, at 10PM PST, the VAA Forum will be undergoing maintenance in the audition section. During that time, the board will be offline. Because we will be moving around a lot of topics, as well as cleaning quite a few things up, we cannot give you a timeframe in...

Greetings to you, my lovely members of the V~A~A. I have a special request of you all. I would like you to email me with questions and feedback regarding the VAA, the community, voice acting in general, industry related things. I could put this in the Feedback forum, but the reason why I'm...

So, we've had the Production Manager for a few months now, and in that time, it's evolved into a pretty darned useful tool to cast and organize an audio production. However, there have been a few problems. Firstly, some producers already have their own systems in place to organize their own...

After a long process involving a lot of call backs, we have two new staff writers Kei and Edwyn! I hope you will all congratulate them, I look forwards to seeing what they can do. Once I get them settled in then I will re-open staff writers. I had hoped given the number of applicants and the...

I'm in the datacenter now. It seems that some of the cooling fans on the server have bitten it. We should be able to limp through the night, and I'll be able to replace everything by tomorrow.

Well, you've probably noticed the new layout by now, and that's actually only one of the things that's happened with the site overnight. We upgraded to latest version of vBulletin, so that should smooth out any little browser bugs that people were having. Well, along with the boring, I wanted to...

You've probably seen them about now but I wanted to make sure everyone had confirmed but I announced the staff writers joining the team, they are: kate lightofhope18 Mipsacri, ViviCrevase Give them a warm welcome everyone, I'm sure we'll be seeing reviews from them soon!

Due to the vBulletin upgrade script not working as I expected, we lost a few minutes of data there. Everything should work, but a few posts will be gone.

The VAA is now sponsoring special Chat Events! These are special Chats that focus around one main them. These are different from casual iparties and AIM chats as they are being organised by staff members or by community members with staff support. Please bear in mind some of the chats will be...

Hi, there. Recently, I've been noticing a lot of signature images which stretch out the board . While there already is a vertical limit for signatures Click here for more info], there is nothing we can do to limit the horizontal signatures, except explain to others that they need to adjust the...

I'm doing a bunch of upgrades and housekeeping on the server, so if things are running slow or die entirely, you'll know why.

As part of our continued efforts to improve site content we've been doing lots of interviews. If you haven't seen my sig then you might missed: Interviews on the VAA: Klaymen // Chris Cason //Maria Vu// Paul Weir We've got a good mix of pros and fans there! Klaymen is a highly active VA,...

Horray! we've got it up. The staff reviews are hosted as part of the forum until we get the new site up, then we plan on feauting them within the new VAA site. We'll be selecting the projects to be reviewed from work posted on the forums. Please make sure you state clearly if you don't want your...

Well it was a particularly hard decision; I was looking for a lot of things in order to make up the team. First of all I want to say thank you to everyone who applied, if you didn’t get in don’t feel put off. We’ll still welcome submissions from you and no doubt as the new site grows; we’ll look...
