Firstly, welcome to the OFFICIAL CRISS ANGEL FORUM!  I'll be your host this evening, you can just call me Your Loyal Highness ;)    

Kidding.  Very much just kidding.

We here on the board would like to make this community as friendly as possible for all members, no matter what your age is.  We've tried our best to keep things family friendly, but unfortunately, things will slip by us at times.  Don't hesitate to private message either one of us if you have any issues with someone or something on the board.  We're here to help!

Who is this "we"?  Your slightly insane moderators, Dru and Sam!  Sam and I have been fans of Sir Christopher for many years and happily take care of this little piece of cyber home we call our community.  But alas, we are only lowly moderators!  The real people that own this board would be Stefanie Lynn Evans and Jennifer Peterson.  At times, one or the other will post under the username lilmindfreak if there's something super important that needs to be up.

If you'd like to find out information on Criss that's not on his site or find oodles of photos, please be sure to check out [link=mindfreakconnection.com newwindow]mindfreakconnection.com[/link], the wonderful and incredible fansite run by former moderator Jen.  It's the home of the unofficially official Loyal chat room (chats are scheduled every Thursday at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific time) and the brain killing riddle.  Only start the riddle if you hate your brain and wish to punish it.  Trust me.

Curious to know who the people behind the illusionist are?  Check out Loyalism 101 ([link=newbie.candy-colored.org newwindow]newbie.candy-colored.org[/link]), it gives you a smidge of information on some of the more well known crew members such as Criss' brothers, make-up artist, and Mindfreak producers!

As for the board itself, we've tried to keep everything as easy to navigate as possible.  Sections are as follows:

[b]>> Announcements:[/b] the board administrator (lilmindfreak) will post any big announcements from Criss or the staff here, such as public filming events or signings.
[b]>> General Discussion:[/b] where all of your talk about Criss and the show belong.  Anything that DIRECTLY relates to either goes here.  Example: discussion about the latest Mindfreak episode, interviews Criss has done, anything about the crew, etc.
[b]>> Polls:[/b] wondering what people think?  Post your poll here!  It can be about Criss or whatever else you can think of, just please keep the board rules in mind when posting!
[b]>> Artwork:[/b] created something pretty you want to show off?  You can post your drawings, computer graphics, creative stories, poems, anything artistic!
[b]>> Criss Angel Board Updates:[/b] this section isn't used very often, so you don't really need to worry about it ;)    
[b]>> Off Topic:[/b] your place for everything that DOESN'T revolve around Criss!  We'd also like everyone to post any fansite updates here instead of General Discussion.  Fansite updates don't directly deal with Criss himself, that's why :)    
[b]>> Loyal Introduction:[/b] want to say hi to everyone?  Post here!  You can also post photos of yourself (within board guidelines, of course) in the stickied topic if you want everyone to know what you look like!
[b]>> Photos:[/b] looking for a certain photo of Criss?  You can ask here, or just browse through whatever photos other members have posted ^_^
