Uh, hi. Hello there. This is John with a discussion thread on where we need to go next.
Because I am noticing that nobody has really been RPing lately, myself included. I know that some of us are really really busy, or banned from our computers. But five days without a single post in an RP topic screams stagnancy and boredom, and I wanna ~spice things up~ or something. I mean, really, where has the SC gone, besides to work? Surely we can do something to excite our lives.
Also, we need to either clean up this site or get a new one, because this site is supposed to be SC versus TNG, and TNG is gone. >.> Which effectively makes this SC.
May I suggest an invisionfree site? We could do more with the design aspect, and we could have a more organized RP. Proboards is looking kind of painful on the eyes as of late. I want something retro but still, we do need to reinvent ourselves a bit, because right now we look like the armpit of RPing society ^_^

And blah, blah, blah, blah, we've chatted already John.

I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOO sick of moving sites! And by the time everyone is informed of the move, we are moving. Michael just joined up again, as he just got back from a trip with no computer, and Nami might rejoin but she was insulted because we were left behind at the last site for months.
(I haven't been told every time the site changes. People just disappear and 2 months later I get a PM going "Oh, yeah. We moved, FYI." Which is VERY insulting by the way.)

I think we should move...
I was badgerring(Sp..) the other admins/mods (or 2/3 of them) to move the site, but they didn't think it was necessary.. >.>

I don't think we should move persay, I don't see why we can't keep this site around for le random-ness RPing, and we weren't even supposed to move to this site in the first place. Dimitri just made it for God knows what reason, and all of the sudden everybody migrated. Which was stupid, because none of us actually owned this site, and now we have to annoy the shit out of him everytime something needs to be changed.
And I agree four hundred percent that somebody should've told Sam/Nami/Michael that we moved sites. I totally thought somebody did, and they just didn't come with for some reason x.x and now I feel really, really bad, because if I had known, I would've told them DDD: Because I <3 Nami.
But I dunno, John has a few points. None of us are really doing much around here, and we're not really getting new members or anything, and it's kind of getting stagnant. I would hate for that to happen to the SC, because I love RPing with you guys, and I love RPing SC!Kat, because she's my favourite incarnation of her, and I just...I dunno. Can't hurt to try it, right?

Whats the point of switching sites every time that people stop RPing? What is the idea behind it? I don't understand. If people weren't RPing before, how will it be different on a new site?

Yeah, the last few times we've moved, it's been stupid. I mean, it's a new URL and a new layout, but we DO the exact same thing, and therefore making it a waste of space. Nothing about the RP changes, and that's why it very quickly becomes another waste of a website. What John is proposing right now is an entire RP overhaul. We don't just change sites, we change how the RP goes, we get a coherent plot etc, etc.

Yeah...
You know, people complain about in-game drama, but really, ALL of our plots center around the drama of, like, 4 people, and everyone else just sort of moves around it.
And I think it would be cool if there were other groups besides just the Shadow Clan, so the Shadow Clan would actually get to, like, you know, FIGHT other people instead of themselves.
What Katja said is true. The second site was a total misunderstanding, and this site wasn't even supposed to be "home base," but we all left the second site for this one for some strange reason.... I just wanna revive it, and maybe try to change the way we do some things so it isn't so dull.
One of the best and worst things about us is that we don't have a set direction, we just sort of make things up as we go. In the classic days it worked, but now I think it's just starting to get confusing...@>@

I don't really care as long as we don't become one of those stuffy RPs that Nami's friends belong to. The ones that are all bossy and make you write in a certain format and limit you to what the person who came up with the story told you to say.
Maybe its just work and staying up until one every night to read Grapes of Wrath for English thats making me in a bad mood. I don't want us to all fade away, which means we need new things to do/ new people/ new plots. But if we change sites can we at least promise to keep that one for a decent amount of time? Please. Because if you think about it, every time we switch sites we do get new people, but there are others that get lost in the site switches and never return.
I can understand changing now because of technical issues and such, but after can we stay in one place please?

Making another fucking SC site would be the most retarded fucking thing. Ever.
I'm sorry. We've moved how many times....4?!?! FUCK THAT!
Mike and I are back online now. We have internet everyday of the week at any fucking hour. We'll be online.
Besides, so what if the title of this thing is SC vs TNG. Honestly. So. Fucking. What. Who cares what is on it and what has happened. SO WHAT?! There will always be personal conflicts. There will always be power struggles. It doesn't fucking matter what site we are on. Sam's right. What the hell is the point of moving to another site cause ppl aren't RPing here? They won't RP over there either.
Shit comes up. Mike and I had no internet at our home for who knows how long. We have it now. Katey's grounded and other people just have lives. I work. Corie works. Kyle works. Honestly people. If you wanna get more people on here, FUCKING RECRUIT! It's not that hard! It's not like it's a big deal in the first place. Not everyone can be on at the same time like we used to be able to. We get on when we can. Making a new site wouldn't change anything. It would just put another site to waste.
Me and my best friend are keeping ETS alive. Sam, Nami and whoever are keeping ETS2 alive. What point is there to move? We'd have to keep yet another site alive.
There just needs to be well thought out plotlines and when there are some...PEOPLE NEED TO FUCKING FOLLOW THEM! It's retarded how good plotlines are thrown away because no one else goes with them. We just got to come up with some plot that we all can follow and actually do it!

*Agrees*
The reason that I don't want to get 10 people on here, is because this site is TNG and SC.. what if they wanted to join TNG?... no TNG members come on here anymore, thus they won't RP..
I vote for us to either:
(A) Go back to ETS2
Or
(B) Go back to ETS 1

Um
What John proposed wasn't JUST a site change. It was an entire OVERHAUL of our system we have going on here.
We used to be able to RP like we've attempted to now, but it obviously isn't working. People aren't on at all hours of the day, people can't reply, our system is fucked up. Our plot-lines aren't working because people don't know what's going on, OR it just revolves around one or two people, making it impossible for some characters to get a foot in the door.
It's NOT just a URL change, it's an OVERHAUL. I suppose we could do it with this site, if Dimitri would give me the password to the account, but I mean really...
And anyways, if you wanted to attract more people, in my experience in lurking around RPG-Directory/other advertising sites like that, people prefer invisionfree. Dunno why, but statisics/polls/threads on it show that for some reason, MOST people hate proboards. Don't ask me why, it's just some...thing.
And since we don't even have a comprehensive plot right about now, people are even less likely to join. Because they have NO idea what this site is about.
Either way, if we want something to happen, it's going to require a lot of work.
