Hey all. This is your commander in chief, Admin, favorite person ever, speaking.
I know the forums have been a bit quiet lately, and I would like to get some ideas, feedback, whatever y'all can think of to put some momentum behind us.
This is also an Activity Check, which basically means, I would like to know who's alive.
So, basically. I would like your ideas and opinions on what WE as a community, and myself as mod can do to get this forum kicking again. And also, to let me know you guys are not dead!
~Laylei

We need things to happen.
Basically, we need someone reliable who enjoys being a GM. We have people who are willing to post, but nobody is willing to actually take the time to sit down and come up with a storyline and keep with it. So most of the posts we have are characters sitting around doing nothing, and that gets boring, so people stop posting.
I've seen this happen in several RPs also. The RP will start off strong, with people fighting monsters or something. Then as soon as the gas is eased off, and it's time for puzzle solving or figuring out the next move, half the players disappear. The other half then lose interest while waiting for the first half to post, and by the time the creator forces things to start up again, everyone has forgotten the RP and moved on.
I feel like one thing that would help us as a community would be to have almost a semi-scheduled RP time of some sort. A sort of "Fuck continuity, fuck logic, RP is happening" period that happens every week at a set time. If people want to RP, they know that people will be around.
Our primary problem is that we're a small community, so just one person disappearing causes jarring problems to several RPs. We need to find a way to keep people's attention so they aren't flitting off to do something else every five minutes.
