NEW RULE! We haven't done this in a while. This rule concerns the use of article space, by which I mean, which types of articles should and should not have an encyclopedic style. The following types and sections of articles are hereby designated as fully-open articles, which may include personal anecdotes and do not need to be edited for style:
|
|
ANOTHER NEW RULE! A new sub-article type is being created: the hall article. These articles will be titled Hall:Sitename. For instance, articles about the Bubble Stoners, First Dietz, the Cucumber Cult, and so on: these will go into the subarticles of the main Hall article; an example would be Hall:LAN, where Lancastrian halls may detail their legacies. Traditionalist student groups or other groups that exist for multiple years can still be kept to separate articles. Thanks for your cooperation! |
|
NEW RULE THREE! No creating articles about yourself or a group of yours - however, feel free to continue writing about your hall's endeavors or whatnot in the Hall subpages or the Memories pages. Similarly, try to avoid writing yourself into the Hall of Fame or Shame. |

Welcome to RealCTY! Enjoy your exploration. Please edit carefully, accurately, with correct formatting and grammar and all that, and don't forget to make an account if you haven't already done so. Thanks! |
|
And as if I didn't put enough junk here already, I love CTY, I love the Passionfruit, and I love all of you. |
 |
The CTY Lancaster page has been fully written and revised. Please feel free to revel in its glory. |

The current state of Post-CTY Depression is: mostly harmless. Enjoy! In other news, PCTYD recently surpassed 1,000 members. Awesomeness! |
