Our Picks

This update has come a little later than we initially planned. Originally it was scheduled for Christmas as the End of Year Update for 2018, but we had various things not go our way, and we had to push it back with the Winter Updates Release. Whilst it is a meteorological spring time here in the Northern Hemisphere, it is still astronomical winter until March 20th. There are quite a few things to cover in this update, so for more information please click on this.

When you were younger; did you collect Pokémon Cards?

Chances are if you were born in the late 80s/early 90s you probably did, I know I certainly did and I was pretty efficient at doing so, owning at least 6,000 or 7,000 Pokémon Cards by the time it went out of style, but I handled many, many more despite the fact that I only ever purchased 2 booster packs at the very beginning. I am going to start this topic by sharing some of my memories of Pokémon Cards and I really hope that you also share your memories too; please leave a comment and tell me what your fondest or darkest memories of the whole thing was for you.

Do you still have your Pokémon Cards? Did you used to collect them? Please leave a comment below and share your experiences! 😄

Hello fellow Dreamers,

It's that time of the year again, and this update has been focused on fixing as many bugs as possible, rather than adding new features or changing things. Some of you may already be aware of some of these changes, as I softly announcement them via my statuses, and this acts a sort of "This is what we did this season." This is not as big as the previous "2018: Spring Updates", but there have been a number of changes.

As some of you might remember, EcchiDreams had a number of updates around the end of April and the beginning of May. However, due to my ill health, I was unable to make an announcement on the number of changes that had happened. Firstly, I want to thank absolutely everyone who came out in support of me during my run of bad health and encouraged me to get better, these messages warmed my heart and I am happy to say I am much better today. Although there are some long term (and potentially lifelong) secondary things that were picked up on during my hospital visit, these are not life threatening, and are absolutely manageable; as the saying goes - "I'll live." This is why this announcement is a little delayed compared to previous ones; but that just means I have a few more things to talk about. This is a fairly large announcement, but quite a lot of it is stuffed with pictures, so thanks in advance for reading.

This year has barely begun and already we're working hard to improve the service for everyone here at EcchiDreams. Firstly we all hope you had a wonderful Christmas (Or holidays) and a Happy New Year. This update was focused mainly in the back end, which would affect the stuff you see, although there isn't that many feature changes... That's coming in the Spring Update. 

I also want to address the new influx of Dreamers that have found themselves making an online home here at EcchiDreams; Welcome to EcchiDreams! Thanks to you all, and some of our veteran members alike; we achieved 50 online Dreamers in the space of 24 hours; and for a small site like ours with next to no advertising budget, this is a big deal. We hope EcchiDreams continues to grow, and that you stick around. EcchiDreams has come a long way, and we hope that it continues attracting like minded roleplayers who want to RP and have fun.

This announcement covers:

~ Server Side Updates
~ EcchiStore and EcchiCredits (¢)
~ EcchiChat

Psychotic loli versus the world. Normally you'd hate this sort of character, but something about her is kind of endearing. Maybe it's the fact that she's almost cartoonishly evil. Maybe it's because she's adorable and knows just how to use that to her advantage. Maybe it's because seeing that crazy grin still makes you want to pat her on the head. Whatever the reason, we love her and want to see her dominate the world.

This year is coming to a close, and there have been some pretty major updates on EcchiDreams that have been aimed at making things easier and giving roleplayers more control over their roleplays. This update has been focused on overhauling the guide section and bringing it up to date, and doing the same for the homepage. This announcement will cover all of that, but at the end of the announcement we have something that's pretty serious that we need to put out there; I don't think it's going to be well received, but it is what it is. 

This announcement will cover:

~ New Guides Section
~ Refreshed Homepage for both Guests and Logged in Dreamers
~ Dropping Twitter Sign In and the effective closing of our Twitter Account
~ Club Permissions Finalised
~ Depictions of Minors in Nude or Sexual Situations (A rather serious topic)

Anime_Freak has written a review on the Anime: Symphogear.

This is a magical girl anime with tons of over-the-top action scenes, strangely entertaining characters, and catchy J-Pop soundtrack. The show is currently wrapping up it's fourth season and a fifth season is already in the works, so it's clear that this series is going strong. Sure it's not perfect, there's quite a few moments that leave you groaning and rolling your eyes, but the show is just a blast to watch overall. All you need to do is kick back, turn your brain off, and enjoy the spectacle.

Quite a small announcement on the recent changes this autumn. As I softly announced in my status; this announcement will be focused on some areas such as:

~ Revision to Club Information: specifically in relation to Owners, Administrators, Moderators and Members of Clubs.
~ A reveal of a new reaction.
~ Information New Help and Support section (Already live here: https://ecchidreams.com/help/)
~ Information on a staff shuffle and a new member of staff.
~ Plans for our Facebook Fanpage.

We have some more information on the clubs thus far and we're very keen to share these ideas with you, as well as keep you up-to-date on what's going on around the forums, as well as the future direction of the Roleplay suite, which was updated only a year ago. This is a' follow on' from the Summer Update news article we posted a few weeks ago. Thanks to the feedback we got on the article itself, in EcchiTexts and the Chatbar, and though internal discussions between Neptune and I, we have both come to the conclusion that the clubs will indeed be kind of a multi-use feature on our community. Please click here to read more.

We've just completed an update, so our site now uses Invision Power Suite 4.2, which has added a lot of new features and improved already existing features such as the like system. I've also updated quite a number of EcchiDreams Specific Modifications (with some big ones still to come) as well as the applications and plugins we use to provide our service. 

Over the next few weeks I hope to have the bugs ironed out, but if you do find any please, let me know! Even if you're not sure, I can let you know and it doesn't bother me in the slightest, because it allows me to help you out. You can contact me via the contact form, EcchiTexts, or if I'm online, over the chatbar. There is no bug tracker anymore, that was referenced in the Halloween Update (2016) because it was a feature only enabled during the Beta of the big update, but the same bounties apply.

To highlight some of the changes made to EcchiDreams:

~ Clubs (Coming Soon)
~ Complete Your Profile!
~ Device Management
~ Gallery Improvements
~ Leaderboard Enhancements
~ Richer Embeds
~ "Our Picks"
~ Reactions
