BottomsValley(website)

Bottoms Valley is a website created on the 'Free Forum Service', Yuku Forums and was a dedicated Rejuve Universe Fan Site.

The website ceased function in December of 2011 after Yuku management pulled the free forum on claims of illegal or pedofilic content. This then got replaced by the NowaKid server on which this wiki is hosted.

History
Initially created as a fansite by member maxpower0013 in 2005 as a place for him and fans of Lurking Dragon's Melody Stories to gather, roleplay and post their fanfictions and stories. Over the period of the next three years a number of members signed up but as a result of poor advertising and lack of attention from the signed up members all but one or two forum members remained active for that initial three year stint.

This changed after the creation of RedDragon's Jade Growing Up Again graphic novel. Posted on pal and redestributed over AnimeOtk and a number of other spanking related websites, die hard fan Persona advertised the BottomsValley website every place he saw the Comics being posted and over a few months drew to the forum members Roguebfl (and old time member) Darkriver, Toyloli, Trickster and Yuki and Kazunari; all of above were hard core roleplayers and writers.

Before too long the website was seeing more members and more activity as the new members were making an effort to advertise the website.

Rebuild
With the lack of any administration, a stripped down and primitive looking board, not that many active members and no advertising it was not surprising that the website had fallen into disarray, but with the re-injection of members in the wake of the Jade Growing Up Again comic the board was fact coming to life and came to the attention of the Yuku Management.

Not happy with the presence of a board with no administration or moderation a vote was held to elect new leadership of the forum, and while not a unanimous vote forum members Toyloli and Darkriver were made Administrator and Moderator respectively.

Once this was decided a mass rebuild was performed on the forum.

The original MaxPowers creation had been dedicated to the Lurking Dragon environment, with his first post on the board being: "The main goal of this board is to have fun and further the stories of Lurking Dragon while creating a few stories of our own, but in order to do this without going completely overboard, there are a few simple ground rules."

In the redevelop the forum was re-structured, opening it up to other styles of play, creating more space for members to present their own works and structuring the board to give roleplayers more freedom. This combined with a new forum skin and some decent advertising of the forum resulted in a massive boom of activity of the website which so far has not noticeably weakened.
