In a sense. Maybe, if you were here you'd know why.

I hate all of you.
Take that as you will.
As for ... whatever that was- Do you honestly think that this is the first board we've had and have absolutely no experience with the likeness of such? I'd slap you if I thought I wouldnt get whatever disease AJ has. Dont take it so personally, I'm grouchy.

Well, this message might be a bit late. Soon after I signed up I had to call it quits for the night. Anyway, I really worry about drops in activity on the board that much. From what I understand this place has been open for role playing since what? February? It's been up for two months and you're already freaking out? Calm down man, don't sweat it. I've been in the business of forums for about eight years going now. You should actually expect activity to drop once in a while. All boards experience those kinds of moments, even Gaia (and yes, dare I say it, I've been to Gaia). Anywho, threats (whether they be empty or not) and trying to strong arm people (which is, in my opinion, a feeble tactic in-and-of-itself) definately will not help the situation. Everyone has times where they're just a little too busy, or having stalls in their creativity, or just temporarily lose interest to post. That should be a given, actually. Also, a new board (especially one such as this) almost always has high activity at first. Let's just call it a "novelty effect". Well after a while, the "novelty effect" will wear off and activity will go down regardless. But then, it usually goes back up after a short while. Trust me, I know the flow of activity that often manifests itself in forum-based role playing. So, in short, be patient man. There's no need to go all ape-shit on people about it. I'm not trying to contradict you or question your methods. I'm simply saying that these things happen every once in a while and you really shouldn't be worrying so much. I'll be producing posts-a-plenty myself since a couple of the other boards I usually go to are kinda' in a slump right now. First of all: If you just signed up last night, then this doesn't really concern you. We're talking about people who just sign up and don't participate. What the hell does the site only being up for two months have to do with that? Second of all: Nobody is 'freaking out' or going 'ape-shit on people.' Where the fuck do you get off telling anyone to 'calm down' or 'be patient' anyway?! This is how we work things out here. If someone sees a problem we talk to each other to figure out why it's happening and how to fix it. One person's concern is everyone's concern. And there are no 'givens.' If someone has a question whether it's stupid or not, it gets answered without making them feel stupid, and without a know-it-all attitude. Oh, and one more thing. Here's some advice (since you're new): Don't get on Eric's shit-list.

.... Geez what a welcome he got. Anyway. I do agree with the two ladies. Please let the Administration just take care of it man. It's also a lot easier for all of us. So I'm sorry if I'm attacking you in any way shape or form, but since I read your cast profile, don't come here thinking since you never lost a match like you know what to do. We've all had our share of forums and it's just all of us have personal lives now because we've all grown up. The Administration is there for a reason man. Let us do our job, and you do yours ok? One other thing. I want to see how good you really are if you've been to a bunch of forums before by your skill level of roleplay. Let's see what you got and we get to know you better before you make suggestions on how we run our forum...Since your from that chat, you're comments should be going in that other thread like Eric had. I'm sorry about being an ass to you right now and of this comment, but if you've been around boards so much, then you should know where to post and where not too. This isn't where you should post since you just signed up from that RPGChat..that other thread is there for that ok? Once again I'm sorry for being a dick to you if I was. One more thing...let's get to know people first before -any- of us snap and remark like we normally do. We're here to make friends not enemies.

I wasn't referring to you, it's just for future reference. Relax.
Oh yeah if anyone messes with anyone that's a good friend of mine...someone is getting 'stunnered' and I'll stunner them as much times as I need too to get the point across.

So let me get this straight. You come in, you comment on something you know nothing about, and then you throw your 'roleplay experience' out there for all to see. I've run over 10 sites, all with more or less the same cast. Anything I said was legitimate in -our- forum, for -our- people. I've seen so many of you come and go, it's ridiculous. Now your comments about that not withstanding, I just wanted to make sure you get something crystal clear; my quote about being unbreakable/unstoppable/indestructable didn't come without something to back it. If that was at all directed towards me, I've got no problem embarrassing you in whatever style you see fit to lose in. You're just another face in the crowd that will end up on that long list of names I've taken down. If that wasn't directed towards me, then no harm, no foul. You just might want to come up with something a bit more original. There's only one Eric here.
