Welcome. I have created this topic due to the fact that I have seen very many locked topics by Newborn Wolves or Pups that say something like,
Welcome.
Join Form
Wolf Name:
Username:
Please join.
Those seem to be constantly around Pack Centeral, so I contected Cana & got her permission, and now the topic is here. This is what most pack topics look like. Using this standard "format" for your pack will help decrease the chance that your pack topic is locked. If you would like to quote a portion of your pack on this page, send me a PM. Anyway, without further ado-
This is where you should put your pack name in large, fancy text. For ways to put Alphabets and some you can copy & paste letter for letter, go here

These are a few examples-

Here is where you should state a description. It should include what members will do in your pack, why it was created, what the name means, the point of joining, etc. Make sure it will draw members in, making them want to join. Like this-
Shunkuhua Cimarron Pack wrote:Welcome to the Shunkuhua Cimarron Pack!! In this pack, we do multiplayer games once a week, we have an extremely active topic, and a very good community of members willing to help each other out. Please consider joining a group below, and have a good time at our topic.
Next part is hard-Rules. With rules, you must think up anything someone may do, write how long you must stay in the pack after joining, if you get some kind of "strike" if you break them, what happens if you get 3 strikes, etc. Do not make your rules harsh, or people won't want to join your pack. In the center rule, you may want to enclose a rule like, The password is ... so people will have to enter whatever is there, guarunteeing they read your rules. No examples here.
Next Part is fun-Pack Key! This includes symbols that repersent things, like, sorry, I won't be able to log in for a while, and symbols that repersent your ranks (ranks are next), symbols repersenting how active you are, etc. Here is another from the Shunkuhua Cimarron Pack.

Next are forms and ally/friend lists.
A join form comes first. If your pack isn't big on multiplayer games, don't include info about what your wolf is like. It should include activity readings, so you know how active your pack will be. Make sure to push Code (it's at the top) so yuour members can fill out your form easily. Something like these-

Why do you want to join?
Did someone refer you to this pack?
Did someone refer you to this group?
Now, an ally/rival form where other packs can "befriend" your pack. Some packs have allys & rivals, some packs just have allys.

Now you can have a friend form, for members that aren't totally members, a little less active than other members. This is optional. Sorry, no examples.
That's the end. Remember-
