It appears that many CAA folk have been posting assorted tiny bits of info about their sites and/or pictures into the middle and/or top of assorted pages.  Although I intend no discrimination or offense, this is technically RealCTY (with an emphasis on the last three letters).  I bring this up only because there is a prevalent of ordering sites based on size.  Lancaster -> Carlisle -> Siena/Saratoga -> LMU -> JHU -> Hawai'i -> Easton -> Bristol.

Hey all!  The new forum for the online CTY community will be at [http://www.postctydepression.com/ Post-CTY Depression].  It's more active, and has its own domain name.  So, if anybody needs a forum, go there.  Hopefully, it'll be more solidly established after next session.

Check the [[Essays]] page to post what you think.
 
 
Placeholders are fine.  Stubs are not.  If you want to link to a page that hasn't been created yet, that's fine, but don't create the page and just write, "This page does not exist" on it.  Try not to link to pages if you have no intention of making them.  Linking to unmade Page Series pages is fine.

===External Essays===
  
School has started for pretty much all of the RealCTY community. Therefore, since everyone has less time on their hands, I would like to request that nobody make any large-scale changes to the site. Please continue editing, but try to keep new categories and the such to a minimum.  Also, when making new pages, make sure first that it would not be better off in the Hall of Fame/Shame or Lexicon.  If it doesn't seem to fit into a specific category (i.e., a non-site category), it probably belongs somewhere else.  Stubs should be put in the Lexicon under the correct site and in alphabetical order, instead of being made into new pages.

If you haven't noticed, I take great pleasure in changing the header of this page.  So, instead of changing at midnight each day, I'm got a "Quote of the Day" feature added.  If you have any headers you would like to have possibly appear, put it on the Talk page.  Make sure it starts with "From RealCTY," unless the point is that it doesn't.
 
 
 
===Security===
 
 
 
Editing, creating pages, etc. has been limited to logged-in users.  This makes it easier to warn and track users who have vandalized pages, have made formatting errors, etc.  Sorry for any inconveniences caused by this, but you ought to make accounts anyway.  Yaaaay for accounts!

From RealCTY, where a shrug never follows a shrotum.

Welcome

This is your CTY website. It's yours. A quick intro:

  • Use the RealCTY:Community Portal to see what's new on the site.
  • Find and advertise reunions, and plan with friends for next session.
  • Play in the Sandbox.
  • 72633455064916235913983 (This was the original content of Prune me, move me, change me, share me. It does not appear to hold meaning.)
  • Read this open letter to the CTY community.
  • Maybe if we write Center for Talented Youth on the Main Page, Google will notice us in a search of said words!

Before you start editing, read this page first. Then read this page.

Please do not vandalize the wiki—many people have worked hard on the success of this site. Deformattings, mass deletions, targeted obscenity, and spamming will result in bannage.

If you like this site, please advertise it to CTYers you know, or to potential CTYers (that you potentially know!). The more, the merrier!
