Hey guys! It's been a little while. I've been in and out for a long time and most recently out for the longest in a long while and I should hopefully be back to stay. I'm sorry I've had so much and so little time to devote to you guys, who are like my family to me. I've known some of you for close to 6 years or more now and even those who have been slightly less, I appreciate you all just as much. Vdex, RS, you guys have been a big family and pool of friends that I am incredibly grateful for.
Now onto business, I want to get back to amping up activity around here, not just from myself but hopefully from everyone involved in a variety of the RP threads, in posts all around the board, and work on inviting/advertising/recruiting to help make out community bigger and better and meet all sorts of new people who might share our enthusiasm for roleplay, Pokemon, and more.
So for this, I think we need to restructure a few things, I saw talks in the chatbox awhile back about creating a new background/theme for the site; I think it's a good idea. For those of you who remember, this current theme only exists because Spesh gave us a great theme, then had a small hiatus and I was trying to make a routine maintenance addition to the code and wound of messing up his title box formatting, thus rendering his theme basically pointless, and in a quick decision we all granted me emergency powers to find a new theme. This was the result lol but hopefully it isn't permanent. I move that we make a thread to discuss this and find someone willing, able, and trusted to take on the responsibility of editing the site theme or potentially themes.
I also think we need to restructure our power pyramid. I think some users have been more active than others, not just currently but all through the past, and deserve more power than they currently have, and I believe that others have just left us, whether permanently or not, we can always hope they will return to us eventually but until that time it makes little sense to give them a rank and title and basically have an empty placeholder where they used to be.
As for roleplays:
- I'll be jumping back in on JJX's and my Sinnoh thread immediately, since it still seems to be going. Hopefully, with two mods again, activity can find a boost there and the pace can pick up though I appreciate all Jaime has done in my absence to keep the thread going.
- For Young Justice: Allegiance, it was always slow going and I was eager to continue but I want to find out whether the greater community is still interested in the thread, which it's possible people are not. We'll see.
Otherwise, thanks you guys, I love you all so much, and I can't wait to get back to normal on RS! Yay!
