I've been thinking about the current adoption system lately, and came up with a new idea. I want to know what everyone thinks before I go about implementing it. c:
In the current system, there are two options, adopt a character or disown one. However, some people might not want others to play the characters they've created even if they don't have the time for all of them anymore. So I came up with a third option: turning a character into an NPC. This would allow a player to keep the character under their account, but they would no longer be able to play that character directly. In order to show up in a thread, an NPC would have to take on a background role. The character would continue aging and eventually die, but there would be no need to keep them active.
I'm thinking that once a character becomes an NPC they won't be able to become a playable character again, but if people are opposed to this then I don't mind some discussion. Also, characters confiscated through activity checks (the Age Up at the beginning every moon) will still be placed up for adoption. In order for a character to become an NPC, it has to be the choice of their player.
That's all I've really come up with so far, but if anyone has other ideas I'd like to hear them =D

That sounds good to me actually :')
Although maybe after a certain amount of time an 'adoption status' cat would then be moved to 'NPC' so as to not clutter the adoptable cats?

Oh, that's a good idea too... Or maybe it could be based on how many adoptable cats there are, and once it exceeds a certain amount the oldest ones are turned into NPCs? I was also considering deleting adoptable cats that had been there for a long time, but making them NPCs might be a bit better :0

I think that's a good idea. ^^ This way the cat doesn't completely disappear and leave a hole in the continuity of the site. I also like the idea of there being a set number of adoptable cats rather than leaving them there forever.

Yeah ^^ I've been aging the adoptable cats too, so they'd eventually die, but having them as NPCs could also allow us to tie them into existing plots without needing anyone to play them. I'll wait and see if anyone else has things to add, but I'll probably implement it sometime tomorrow if there's no one against it c:
