Now I am not insult the forum in any way i just want to suggest a few changes.

1) You need to find out who actually comes on this forum anymore and essentially delete every one else off the forum. Or you could do a little less harsher and delete anyone under 10 posts or who hasn't posted or said anything in say half a year or so?

2) Clean out all of the old forums and put them some where else (like labled old forums stuff broswe here if your bored) Essentially anything that isn't a sticky or has not been replied to in a month.

3) Reform the Teams, Homuculus vs State Alchemists and make it into something everyone will enjoy. Make it a mini RPG if you have too!

4) Umm get more active people lol

Okay take my hints or dont im just here to help

No, sorry if im being a bit touchy but im not in the mood and this SERIOUSLY just pisses me off even more.

1. you have only what? 55 posts yes? and you yourself are rarely active

2. We have a trash can system, and every once in a while we clear things out ty vm.

3. The teams are in the gutters and rp is nothing but a thing of the past, hardly ANYONE roleplays anymore except the normal crew.. I have no clue what you mean by Mini RPG, but I GARUNTEE it won't work becasue people only want to spam and do ONE LINERS on this forum anymore, half the time you can't even call it a one-liner because its so irrelevant.

4. ............is just that easy huh? Get more active people? huh? you don't think we haven't WORKED OUR ASSES OFF trying to make this forum better? you shoulda seen our reforms FOR THE ROLE PLAY AREA. Bud, and it didn't do jack **** because no one rps to begin with.

As for the Teams, you might want to take a look at them because they are WAY inactive, and going nowhere fast.

Active members are hard to come by, even if you get someone who visits they dont post and if they do its spam or just a little something here or there

There a thing of the past, you try reqruiting them, this is last years anime and people have NO reason to just start joining and when they do they don't stay long

We also tried reforming the State team and it didn't do jack **** either

5. Admins don't come on but once in a blue moon so me and Krazy can ONLY do so much here, but oh you with your 55 posts and what? less than 2 months being here? just walk on up and tell us to TAKE YOUR HINTS?? YOU DON'T KNOW ...ugh, You really posted this at the wrong time cause I'm not in the mood. Wether you meant to insult anyone or not you did, and it just pushed me over the edge because We do our job the best we can and I swear to god you couldn't do any better with this dying forum.

So before you start "Giving hints" to people you don't even know, to a forum you are FAIRLY NEW TO, I'd suggest you learn your place and try to figure out this places past because that really just ticked me off.

Ah, tell me this eh, do you know the track record for this forum? Do you know the track record for the anime? ...Do you know anything?

1)We know this, members have been deleted, seeing as the global moderators don't have access to the Admin CP we really can't do much about any new inactives or spam accounts.
2) Comparatively this forum is cleared out as oppossed to say...July...even August.
3) Team reformation was actually in process this summer however it ran into a virtual brick wall somewhere along the way. The RPG war (this mini Rpg you speak of) only caused hostility and higher tensions DIVIDING ALL roleplay. As oppossed to seeking each other out members formed cliques and stuck to one cluster.
4) This one has to be the most blanket, generic and absolutely ignorant statements that every once in awhile some...one..has the audacity to point out. Yes. Thank you Captain Obvious.

May wish to do your research before throwing suggestions around. I don't have a problem that you are a newbie ect. I understand you meant it kindly, with the best of intentions. To be frank however, 'giving hints' isn't the most productive solution. It insults our intelligence and the competance of our administrators and moderators, who are doing (albiet that we are short handed) the very best they can with the given rescourses. Perhaps take it up with the Administrators themselves if/when they choose to deign us with their pressence. I'll admit, I tend to be a hostile person, I tend to drive people away, I'll be the first to admit that I probably have .001% of the blame for 'scaring' members away. Honestly however..these kinds of posts are the most repetative, and useless sort. Also understand that you'll be gone in ...a month ..maybe two...I've tried to remain active since October 21. However, (as previously stated) I will be on once a week maybe. Unless there is some absolute loyalty here amongst the members for a dead anime, though ongoing manga, I'm doubting we'll be seeing any of these changes.

Please excuse any insult this, or previous, statement(s) that I, or my colleagues, have afflicted upon you. This doesn't help. What would help is you becoming an active member or trying to fulfill your above 'hints'. Thank you .

Yeah i think Blood Metal and Mustang has pointed out all of the obvious things. It's just that people won't come on here when there are plenty of new anime to hoop and holla about. As Mustang (i think) has said this is last years anime. The new thing i geuss is Bleach and Naruto. There are rarely any people who visit anymore the Rp is dead. Two things either happen in rp's

1:Someone comes out of nowhere with a short "what's up havn't seen you in a while" line

or

2: After 1 or so months the Rp itself gets about 2 replies in a month.


I've been here for about 7 months now and i've seen the up's and downs of the forum. And this is an all time low.

Jeez well soryy I was jsut trying to help by pinting out some stuff. Yes I'd like to become an active member and waht posting once or twice a day ain't good enought? And it's barely been a month since I've been on.

Sorry If I ticked you all off.

1) 1 month Ive been here applied for the state alchemist side (which sorry i din't know what it was) and tried to make a character to fit your rpg storylines. Well i was just trying to say stuff to the admins about the forums.

2) Well sorry I didn't see the bloody trash can and I am sorry if the people do not have times to work on their own forums. And if they cant work on them get some people who can.

3) Well I don't know I was jsut trying to suggest something.

4) It was a joke lighten up.

And yes I know it's a dead anime but Rp's can last forever just based on the start of one. For example you guys started with the topic of FMA and ran on with it creating your own little universe to expand it. Going on that your stories can go forever. Eventually when they become repetitive just start a new ending for FMA.

One last thing. I did see the histroy of this site. I read the review it got from some guy from invisionfree forums. It it a much better site than anything I've seen. The only thing that comes close in terms of numbers and replies is Itsalvie for Mercs.


Again Sorry

Once or twice a day? At your stage I was posting 17 times a day..the review isn't the history eh. I was trying to give you a brief rundown as oppossed to verbally abusing you like I could and generally do. We don't have enough ACTIVE memebers and RPers to continue on forever. The trashcan isn't something that's generally posted but it is a system we use.

Oh well. I'm not feeling up to this. Would just like to say, curb the emotions to everyone..yes look who's talking blood the overreacting pyscho, but honestly if you want things to get done present it calmly. That goes as a general statement. I'm not naming any specifics.

............

1) One month, even more support towars my point, eh? Once again its wonderful you are concerned about the forums but I still don't think you are in a high enough position, or here long enough to have any say.

2) Well this just proves my point, you dont know the history of this forum or anything that has recently happend..The only people who rarely have time to work here is the admins themselvs, Me, Krazy, BM, and DG are here more than most people and we are basically the only ones taking care of it

3) you didn't know, thus you should have waited and found out. This is my whole point, you walk right in without knowing ANYTHING and you just start spewing advice to people who know a hell of a lot more about this forum than you do.

What you seem to not understand about the roleplays is, its not that easy to just start a new backplot and post up new roleplays. ESPECIALLY when you have no one who will roleplay IN them, sure in theory you could keep it all going for a rather long time..if you had people, that is. In which we DONT because people are all into Naruto now.

As for a review of this forum, I don't think its enough because apparantly some of these questions or pieces of advice could have been avoided if you did.

But really, in reality its not that easy keeping a roleplay alive no matter how thrilling you make it, no people = no roleplay. AND even if you do have a nice crowd, eventually they either all leave and get bored, or just lose intrest in roleplay itself and just chat all the time. I have seen this happen, trust me.

Look I am a military person. Im used to action. Fine sure mabye I jumped the gun a little too early. Okay well fine mabye if we all lead by example and start doing more around here mabye other might too.I mean don't just let everyone be a backseath commander. Join in in the action. I'd love too but as I may have pointed out no admins are on to accept my character lol

And you know what, I'm not you so blah!

Yeah, your not me. And you DID jump the gun, and leading by example doesnt always cut it. If it did the world wouldn't exactly be the same. What do you mean by a Backseat commander? What more do you want us to do? What action IS there?

Oh, and I can accept your character ty vm, I am a Globel mod and I use to be specifically a RP Mod, so as you put it, "blah"

BTW if you mean join in on the action as in roleplay, I am a very active roleplayer here compared to most, Do you see the thread "Her Return" ? hmm? it has over 12 pages and I started it =D [granted Krazy promoted it xD]

So, the more you tell me what to do, the more I'm going to just give you a really hard time. OK?

I was saying in general.

BTW You say its not that active of a forum look below 8 people on in a matter of 20 minutes. thats not bad considering.

And don't take everything so personal

8 people and less than 2 posts is bad, sure people visit but they hardly post, and only some can be counted as good posts, the rest really aren't. All in all, its proof the forum is in a major decline and the chances of pulling it back up are slim.

Maybe I am taking it personal, but you just seem to really think you know everything about this forum and how to fix it, and considering how new you are that just rubs me the wrong way. I have one question; Have you ever been a Moderator or Admin? I'm sure you'll answer yes to this, but if so for what forum that has been oh so successful and how did you manage to do that, I'm more than SURE it was easier said than done.

okay i wasnt trying to tell everyone what to do i was trying to help by giving sugestions. Yes I have been an admin or moderator. My first site was sucessfull unitl the unit died it had close to 200 people and then some idiot decided to f*** with the forums banning me permenently (he was a power hungry a-hole) my second site has about 50 active members on it. my third site which I am working on now has four global admins and 4 people who i have told it about so far due to me own reason. So yes and no my site isnt as sucessfull as this one. That is why i want to help fix this one up!

>>
<<
>> Well, ok.. I'm sorry for attacking you xD I just don't like it when some people try to come in from nowhere and tell the mods how to do their job..really, x_X

But since you like military and apparantly something that had to do with galaxy stuff I can invite you to my forum xD >> its basically a futuristic thing a lot like cowboy bebop cept a little different~ ( it has a Systems Police group much like a military, >> so far no one has joined it so all its applications are open xD )

The stuf beneath my name was just tradation for my unit. Plus what else am i supposed to say "Hi I am a n00b"

So instead of fighting here want to work on fixing up the forum sir?

>> fix it how? we are only really lacking members..and since im not admin my power is limited.. xD

ok so while you have time use your mod status to move all the old topics to one area. Then when an admin comes along ask permission to create an old topic area. Or umm okay i ran out of ideas. anyone else not involved have any ideas?

...there is an old topic forum, and we just cleaned this forum out not too long ago, there is no need to do such things..

okay wel li was on a roll with ideas then my mind went balnk gotta sign off now but mabye tommorow ill try and come up with some sutff and psot it here

*Rolls eyes, Everybody's a critic* The site is dying, but I'm sure if you've been on during its PRIME *Cough* Like a few months ago *cough* You'd see that it was VERY active. However, VERY active CAN be a bad thing as we've seen from SOME members on this forum. Spam was rampant, fights and arguments ensued and immaturity rates were HIGH.

But hey, if you think you can do a better job, be my guest and ask the admins to be a global mod. As for the RP board, Sure its inactive, but I try not to make it DEAD.

Also, Not all RP's are dead. In fact in the Homunculus team section, Faith, myself and Dread are having a great time in the War Practice RP XD. If only you were there, Myth! If only you were there!
Tho it may not be your thing since its run by 3 girls and circles around the heretics/homunculi. XD.

XP, you should join tho. Its quite intriguing.

=D ok~

( i have a humonculus account )

I'm switching over to the humonculis team...the State Alchs have to omany people...too many dissagreeable people. Humonculis have the majority of individualists and artists- back on topic.

I would help you Tyler. But I'm going to be a snob and say "you didn't ask properly...or rather at all"

=P We homunculus would love ur company. Also, some good RPers are always a plus! XDD. I still wanna know how the other War Practice looks! I'm curious!!! X___x.

xD kk~ its dead and locked so i could move it to the finished rp area so you can read it XD we may have to start over..

Ooh! Lemme read it Myth! XD I'm curious about the creativity of the State Alchemist. In return... I guess I'll move war practice homunculi to their too? D= But its not done yet! We'll get to the best part muahahaha >>;;.

I actually think that this forum is great. xGhostx and the other Mods have done a great Job with orginazation and updates! This forum is actually my favorite!! hehe. But yes I do admit, That this forum has died down. But I think its because FMA has been pushed aside to make way for the new anime that has sprung up. Like Naruto, Bleach, Trinity Blood, ect...It really isnt the MODS fault. So I say give em some slack!

>> Yay XGhostX!! You can join in the action now!! Its really juicy and DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA!! lol see yeah there!!

=OOO sounds gooood.. but who should I drag into it?

>>
<< hardest decision to ever make, well I'll have to read to choose..but I am leaning towards draging vincent into it xD >> idk yet..

ugh zomg where did the state ROLE PLAY GO?????? XD i cant find it anywhere..I think it was deleted or put in the trash can -looking for trashcan pw-

::edit::

Found it in the trashcan, its really not taht good lmao.. and excuse some of my really really stupid posts after the main part fizzled, they were pointless and weren't all that good XD (basically after spam I would post every oncee in a while, most of those are crap..) its now in the finished rp area.

its being a bitch, sorry. it wont show up so heres the link

in war

Even thoug i missed a bunch one thing did striek me as odd. How mature peopel all. Whats the median age on this site 15, 16. Most of us (i think don't blame me if i am worng) are still kids (at least we say we are) come on enjoy your selves (no acting like a baby thought and so far i've seen none of that )

we weeded out most of the immature people, actually, or at least they all left on their own. I dont think anythings wrong with being mature, its better than you bitching about how immature we are.

I'm glad, its an improvement really. And who said you can't enjoy yourself and be mature at the same time? Most of the people me and BM's age seem like they have no brain at all, I don't see how people can live like that >>. Online people, anyway.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmnnn brains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
