Member Meeting! Let's get down to buisiness

I'd like to call this assembly, mainly because running a forum alone is pretty exhausting, and because the opinion of members is very important to me. I'd like to get everyone's two cents so lets address the issues shall we =D

1. Should we increase the number of characters per member?

In the case that finding players is very difficult, and often things get stuck because there's characters missing, I have thought about increasing the number of characters per person. Since I know there's lot of positions that need to be filled, and some active experienced players would enjoy playing a wider range of characters.

2. What should we do for more traffic and players?

Getting noticed and having new players join up is one of the hardest things, and aside from my fervent whoring of the forum on countless places, we still only have a few active members. (We have a lot a people who join and never post) So any ideas on bringing in more rp'ers is more than incredibly welcome.

3. Should we tie up loose ends with certain threads, and begin new ones with the active members or wait?

In the case of certain characters being inactive for an extended period, should we auto the characters in order to finish the threads so we can move on, or wait to see if they return?

4. The staff is going to be restructured, and I would like to assign some new moderators, who says "I"?

5. Anyone who is interested in being a plot villain, one of the Magus, contact me to be filled in (the plot is very ambiguous on the plot thread because I wanted to keep some mystery for the others XP)

As far as moderation goes, I'll say "I."

Im used to playin multiple characters so I'll probably take on other people to speed things up. Though I'm still debating if I want a villian and a cannon, or just two more cannons. If the amount of people ne controls changes, then mt decision will be made easier lol

I'm friends with a lot of Bleach rpers, I'm sure I can find someone.

As for the threads, Its really not my say. I mean its up to Hime and those guys ^^;

*Nods nods* Mhm, well we got one new mod ^^ (And yes get your buddies in here confound it!) As for issue #3 I meant in general, since it happens every now and then and will likely happen in the future, just want to know your take on what steps we should follow ^^

I'm still not sure how to answer that ^^; I mean I'd say fresh start, but that probably isn't fair to everyone

You have a point, we have to see what is fair to the others involved, guess in the end is a matter of what the people who get caught in those threads decide.

Hurray, bagged myself another Mod! =D, and I know what you mean Hime, but keep harassing them anyway, they'll give in and join sooner or later lol. I found the directly inviting people has actually been one of the most effective ways to get "good" rp'ers.

I think that setting a time limit for when someone abandons a thread is viable. After being inactive for a really long time we can send them a warning, and give them an extra three days or something in order to reply, if they don't then one of the staff auto's the character to finish the thread and then have that character out back up for grabs (if the original player doesn't contact us with a reason for their absence). What do you guys think? Seem fair?

Well the limit of the activity check approaches and a lot of people are still missing, looks like a lot of position will be re-opening...

I want to let everyone know I'm still hard at work with gaining affiliates, and trying to keep us in the top listings. I though it might also be a good idea to give you all access to our mini button and banner, this way you can set it up on your sites, or if you find affiliates ^^

Those are awesome

Thanks Soi, hopefully they are also effective XD

Alright, now as we all know, some members who were already in threads are no longer with us, despite having the ultimatum for the activity check plus 2 days on top of that to report, they never did, so their accounts have been deleted. Those threads will be finished in the best way possible so we can move on. The Hopistal thread, and Lack of normalcy thread (though the second might be a bit harder to wrap up thanks to Imitsu.)

Plus, the fake Haishiro's IP has been banned.

As for the thread he was in, we could always have Fulman's attack kill him, as I joked to Sado before. You know how he likes to make cheesy lines, so he could say one at his death. I think the Lisa thread is more of the problem, unless we do what you were planning before, Momo.

As Inoue said, its very unfortunate but we need to cut our losses and start fresh

Well I would like to announce two decisions:

1. I've decided the the official slot number for each member will now be 4 characters.
2. Orihime and Soifon are our two new moderators ^^
3. The loose end threads will be continued asap.
4. For the time being I will be taking over Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri in one of my slots.

4? oh man...I'll definitely have to take up more characters

Indeed you shall! *cackles*

By the way I'd like to discuss yet another matter with my new squeaky right out of the box goodness Staff.

I am feeling a little unsure about deleting the profiles of members who no longer exist, I was wondering if I should save them all into an archive section, so new members wanting that character have a "guideline" (they still have to make a new profile, but have a clear idea on how to do it) Or whether I should delete them all together.

I'd say leave em up as reference

I realize im not even part of the forum yet, nor was I in the past soo xD, but I would like to have a say >.>

I like the idea of mod. take over, if someone is inactive for too long, a mod temporarily takes over that character and then they go out on a long mission, coming back when someone applies for that position and the new person can pick up there, this way we wont have to deal with any mysterious disappearances (and you won't have to listen to me accuse Aizen of stealing the souls of our good RPers).

As to everything else, I am an idiot so, I got no input on that ^^

Indeed, that is the method we will be implementing since it seems to be the best way to keep things from becoming stuck, as they often do in forums >>

and too many threads getting stuck is what causes death of threads!!

I'm sure I can find someone.
