^^^^^^ Up there
Also... If we were to create a new site, we'd all be mods >.>
-_-;; If I weren't prematurely involved, I would NEVER join this site, because it looks like a total mess, and nobody posts. Sorry, nobody's fault, but that's the simple fact. I'd like to change that in some way.
And oooh TNG rehaul >.> *interested*

<.< TNG<3 *pimps fanfiction on the side*BUT YES I totally, and completely agree with John. We agree on scary amounts of things sometimes =O No GOOD RPer in their right mind would join here, because, unlike us, they have no reason too. I mean, we might be able to get some n00bs that don't know what they're getting into, but that usually ends up with a Mary-Sue or five, like the one on TNG that was related to Harry Potter, and had her parents killed by Voldemort at the same time as him, and went to Hogwarts, but Hogwarts was taken over by Magneto, and I was like "holy shit, go die" >.> Yeah, we'll get them.

LMAO. >.> Was her name Angela Sparklemoon?
And was one of her flaws "porcupine allergies"?
<.< Just to make this post relevant, these are my three goals for reinventing (whatever site we may go to/stay on) the Shadow Clan.
1.) Give us a real plot. Please. Like, an over-plot, and something that PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE involves other people ;-; I am sick of "no, you can't enter this fight because IT WILL RUIN THE ENTIRE PLOT." >.> Darling, fighting IS the damn plot, and if I can't fight, I won't be in it. I want to make things interesting, and I want people to want to come here every day, or few days, or whenever they can. And I want there to be days where people post, instead of days where I'm surprised to see another person on at the same time as me.
2.) Give us more organization. I'd like to create a place where we can summarize/document the events that happen in the RP every week or so. Not a detailed "he said she said BLAH BLAH BLAH" thing, just "This happened. This person died in the conflict. This person wants to go here. This group is going to blow up a building. etc. etc. etc." Also, I'm NEVER going to put a limit on spelling, at least not anything heavy, and I'm never going to make anyone write four million paragraphs per post. However, two word posts look really crappy.
3.) Make us look spiffy and more approachable. Create a better layout, and a more professional-looking places. I want people to say, "I want to join that site."

um
I LIKE TEN THOUSAND PARAGRAPH POSTS DDDD: AND SPELLING
*rocks back and forth* standards, standards, must have standards.
Mary sue response: NO, but it might as well have been. I mean my GOD, it was the WORST character I have ever seen ever created EVER
AND BRENT LOPEZ IS GOD BRENT LOPEZ IS GOD
DDDDDDDDDD:
*brain explodes*
1) I concur 2) I concur some more, and I'd totally be willing to write out summaries and stuff, like at the end of every week or so, depending on how you set it up (like TFS, with threading like that, or otherwise) 3) I CONCUR SOME MORE D:<

xpgtng.proboards98.com>.> It's alllllll in there somewhere I'd love to discuss it at length, because TNG is basically my crack, like SC was, except TNG lasted longer, and had NYC, and everybody loves NYC and X-men and God I love X-Men ANYWAYS, Harry Potter is in less than an hour, AND I MUST TAKE MY LEAVE~!

-_- You all know that you can fucking talk to me for background and shit to give me fucking ideas. And as for plots....HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES HAS MIKE MADE SOME THAT EVERY FUCKING ONE COULD FOLLOW BUT NONE OF YOU LIL WHOREFACES DO?!
And Mike says that Katey is against moving to another site.
All you gotta do is talk to moi about changing the backgrounds and shit. Moving this place is still very retarded. I know Katey hates InvisionFree. I fucking hate IF. Mike doesn't know coding if it fell in his lap and all of us as mods would just end in severe power struggles.
You've got to think of the negative things as well as the fun stoof we'd all like. Despite how fun it would be for all of us to be mods, we can't. And despite how much we try, not all of us will get along with everyone. It's pointless. ( AKA...Katey and I banning each other for no aparent reason. ) A new site wouldn't bring in members the same as if we stayed here. We just need to get up some good plots as well as get people to recruit. I'll start recruiting now that I have internet back. I know places to go. We just need to get people interested. I know we can do that.

You don't get it, at all. The format is changing too. We aren't thinking on the same wavelength. At all. Well, that's not entirely true, but a new site would be different.
And the backgrounds and the coding and crap is fine. There are some things invisionfree offers that this doesn't, but we're an okay proboards site. I'm talking about the introductions, the applications, the rules, the way our boards are set up, the sub-boards, the plotting threads that we don't have... Everything Dimitri did or didn't create. And I DON'T see what the problem is with invisionfree. Though I can see where proboards has its limits.
And if you and Katey are going to have ban-wars, than the admin will take away your ability to ban people, and you guys can just approve applications and crap. I want us to be able to work bigger. You aren't thinking big enough. I'm not making us all mods because that's cool. I'm making us all mods because we are going to become a force. And if you can't handle banning powers, than it will be dealed to the people that can. Because as far as I know, everyone else here can.
... I didn't expect people to jump to a move. That's why I'm trying to sell my case. I'm trying to say that we can't get near as many people where we are now. I'm saying we want to upgrade. We need an upgrade, and we deserve one, and if you guys don't want to work for it because you are all le tired or whatever, than I'll do all the work. I don't care.
And if you all say "fuck that" and stay on this site, than I'll just stay in this miserable pit and await our end, pretending to be all happy and crap, again, I don't care. We won't survive here; history is proof. Every time we moved, our posts spiked up, and if we got more people, advertised mercilessly, added a larger board, and rode the wave of influx, we could become huge.

The problem is is that we don't have Katey around to help me and she is the only one I will allow to help me with the coding and changing stuff. If you want to help, do something helpful instead of bitching. Do something. I will be doing something because I have internet now.
If you don't have any fucking faith in me or anyone else, then just leave. Honestly, it's so stupid how you think you've gotta do all this shit on your own. It takes everyone to do it. I'm sorry if I've been so mother fucking broke to not afford internet. I'm sorry that I have to work my ass off so I still have a place to live. I'm sorry I'm an adult. Some people aren't as lucky as you to be able to get online all the time.
Now, just give me a few days to a week to fix shit. Mike can talk to Katey and we can come to some decisions on what to do. I will relay those messages so we can do something. Don't expect giant changes immediately. I'm gonna redo backgrounds and work on minor things tonight and Sunday. I'll work a bit tomorrow, but I work from 10 to 3:30. I do want more people around, but I cannot change rules. I can't change the format of anything. And damn eet...if I have to talk to Katey personally to make this shit work, I will. I'll relay messages and things that she suggests.
What you and everyone else can do is give me some ideas. I mean...an actual list. I don't want a fucking paragraphs. I want a list. I will give this list to Katey via phone. You can put it on here or send it to me via PMs. I can't do much, but I'll see what Katey will let me do. Sadly, I know her password cause I don't think she changed it since I first got onto it and hacked it.
I'm not taking full responcibility for changing everything. I don't want it. But it is hard to do anything with the admins gone. You, me and Katey can get shit rolling. We'll catch Corie and Kyle when we can. I don't want to leave them out. They've got as much of a voice as any of us. Just...stop bitching and help out. God. Bitching gets you nowhere.
Also...>< PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANOTHER SITE!!!!!!!!! This is the one thing I am begging of you. All of you. Making another site would just drag us somewhere else and leave another site behind. We can get TNG ppls over here. Hell...we can recruit new TNG peoples. Katja, Katey, Mike and I were TNG ppl. I think you were, too, John. We just gotta work shit out and come up with a good plot line.
For a plot line...I think we need a full time set villan along with ppl that can add in a few bad guys to help out. We can't have just one person do it all. It'll never work. John, if you wanna work on that, then you'd be like...the biggest help ever. I bet Mike would like to aid you on that, too. He somehow likes making plotlines and they're always really good. x.x We just never really get them up and running smoothly.
I don't wanna sound mean or angry. I'm annoyed by all of this happening now. I just haven't had the chance to get on and RP. I am truely sorry for all that. I'm hoping to change it cause I really miss RPing everyday. v.v I miss the SC so much. I hope we can come up with some ideas and actually stick to them this time. Please...we just need a bit of time before we can do anything.

Oh, fuck you Shadow >.< We were interested for, like, 5 minutes, okay? That wasn't a "good villain." If your character relies on a thinly-veiled lie, then of course it sucks.
I'm trying to spin a villain side. I'll talk to Mike nextest. I'm just trying to expand our thought a little. I think we should at least try to rehaul the way our boards are set up. Add some stuff and move some stuff. We can keep the old boards, but some of the threads can be moved around. I'm going to try to come up with a map of it or something. Because, we don't have a place to put up plot suggestions and crap, and our general board is like our OOC board, and... It's a nightmare for anybody with even the slightest case of OCD.
I do like this red/gray format though because it reminds me of another site I like >.>
