Lately their has been very little activity around here. Could anybody lend a hand and tell me why?

I know, it's summer time, you want to go out to the pool, have a little fun. I can understand, that is something I'm going to have to do to. It's essential, but whoever said this role playing is fun.

I know a few who have lost motivation to come around and post, like Flacll, who've I talked to on that issue just as a fellow role playing who was interested and not at the supposed status of superior.

About a week before I left for Las Vegas the place was poppin with post after post. It was vairely active, with the chance of seeing about 6 people on at once around 8 o'clock pacific time. Now, the highest you'll see is 3...

Why is this?

I don't know, and that's why I'm asking. Not out of fear, but out of concern for the role playing and the pod.

We've seen a few lows, but I haven't seen lows in posting like this. The only people I've seen posting frequently is Dash.

Not even I, the quote unquote "active man" have posted much today and since I've been back from Las Vegas. I'll try to start new threads, but I alone can hype up the place..

I'm still advertising to some of my net buddies, which I got a nod from the moderators a long time ago, so I don't hope I'm going to be attacked for that one. Dash, maybe you should do the same, if you interested in the place beginning to get back to it's steady moving speed.

Like I said though, net buddies--don't go to forums putting down advertisments, because I once got in trouble for that.

I don't want to get in trouble for those, so I'll say sorry ahead of time, but I felt I was obligated as a loving member to say something about the slowness of the place in the last week or so.

See Ya and hope that I'll see alot of you soon on the boards.

Be active, now I'm out.

Peace

One Love

Unfortuanatly every person I recruit for the RP leaves after a couple of weeks. Or never actually posts. I've had like 6 people register and everything. One even went through the trouble of posting a character Bio. But where the hell did he go? Only God knows!

I still do try to recruit, but I'm running out of people!

It is hard. I have Work, Family, and school (sort of anyway. It's just one course I'm doing through the mail.) They are all time consuming. I'm lucky that we have the Net at work, or I might not even make it here some days.

Well I'm sorry for seemingly not taking notice to the fact that you work, but I'm still not excluding the fact that the place needs to get back to the same pace it once was at.

Like Graysith said once to me, their are times that we go down and some that we have high. I think we need to create a balance between or maybe even a high. Downs are never good...

I agree Lumbia. I have been trying to post as much as possible. Even outside of RP.

I wan't trying to snap at you. I was just pointing out my reasons for not poting as much as I should.

There IS no "must" about this. The primary reason these boards exist is for people to have fun, not to feel obligated to write. Life in general always must come first; it's absolutely ridiculous to expect otherwise.

We have ups, and we have downs. But the good thing is that we are still here, after three years. That's not bad. So look at what we do have, and don't be negative.

I never feel obligated, I just want the boards to be more active. So I feel bad when I'm not helping out.
