Recently we have lost members of our family for various reasons. We have had tons of drama infecting our thread and beggars/trolls preying on the generosity of our members.

With this said, I wish to call all members and ask them to please share what they feel about the recent happenings, what problems they feel the thread has, and most importantly ideas on how to go about making our thread what it once was.

I thank everyone in advance for their participation and for caring about the future of the thread.

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you. A disease of the mind; it can control you. It's too close for comfort. I feel like a monster...



Well, I'll assume my leadership role, and step forward first.

The Recent Happenings:
I feel that the trial aspect was done fairly, whether the final verdict was true or not. Chic Sk8r may very well have had those items like she said, but she was unable to provide proof, so we had to go on what we had, and what's done is done.

I put fourth a lot of effort to help her clear her name, but she did not take any of the opportunities that I gave her, so I don't feel bad for her.

Thread Problems:
Emo-ing out. Being emo is for the Lifestyle Discussion thread. I feel like this is the biggest issue that's annoying people right now.

Of course the family will always be there to support individual members, but some of the things that people say are ridiculous. I'm not giving an example, or name-dropping, but we all know what I'm talking about, no?

Fixing It:
Don't whine to us about trivial matters.

I will personally link you to the Lifestyle Discussion forum if you want, but please don't. If you're deeply upset over a break-up or the death of your great uncle (and you better not be lol-ing two posts later stare ), we're here for you.

We don't enjoy hearing mindless whining.


I'd like to thank Sino for creating this thread. <3



...Put on your break lights. We're in the city of wonder. Watch out! You might just go under. Better think twice. Your train of thought will be altered. Your mind is in DISTURBIA. Am I scaring you tonight?

@December: you're welcome. Really it needed to be done.

Now I guess I get to put in my two cents.

With the whole Chic issue I believe that the trial and verdict was handled beautifully. In fact I like the fact that we have trials in the first place that gives member's a chance to understand what's going on and also allows the defendant a chance to defend themselves.

My main problem with the thread is that we do get a lot of beggars just looking for handouts and pestering the patrons. We seemed to have lost everything the thread was about and stood for.

I believe to fix these problems, we could either Moderate the thread a lot more or we can move the chat to the guild (which would solve the problem of the guild being slow). As for bringing the thread back to it's former glory, I believe that communication is key. If you have a problem either bring it up to the person privately or speak with a mod privately so that the matter can be settled.

For now that's all I got. I do look forwards to hearing what you all have to say.
