If so I wanted to point out that I left a message on the Hapes board. I noticed that the last post to be made there was in April.

Lup is an interesting guy. He'll be here for a while and then vanish before returning later on and repeating the cycle. Currently he is vanished. So we have no clue when, or even if, he is coming back.

Is there someone else in charge of Hapes at the moment?

I don't think so. It, to the best of my knowledge, has pretty much always been a one man operation, especially recently.

Who would I talk to about starting a Hapes storyline involving my character?

I don't know that. I suggest that you just sit tight and wait for a staff member to come and look at this, they generally know more about whats going on.

Thank you. I would also like a little bit of background into what was going on when it went inactive if that's possible.

Hapes is in limbo at the moment. There are rumblings going on with a few groups about its future, they're just waiting for Lup to get his bum back here so he can approve/comment/deny them.

If you just want to be a Hapan, go ahead. If it involves the government, you could try going ahead, but I'd wait.

edit: I do not have any info on the last IC happenings of Hapes.

If Lup RPs anywhere it'll be here.

He gets wrapped up with RL stuff like bar hopping and forgets about us.

A few months ago Lup had a plan to revitalize THC and start taking planets, etc...

I'm of the opinion that the group be disbanded, mind, on account of its being largely dead for a long time now.
