Inactivity, new members, etc.

[Leila (Shoe)]

Dearest fellow admins and members,

Do I have to have this talk again? Really?

I'm tired of this. Sick and tired of being the only one pulling the weight. I want y'all to get off your butts and start taking action against whatever is holding you back from helping to get us more active and more members and to revamp the site.

Okay, if any one of you say, 'ong but shoe-la isnt doing anything.'

uhm. really now?
let's see. i've had maybe a billion ideas, im motivating you, and i supervise at all times.

AND I CANT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU.


really, im sick and tired of this. i never rp on here anymore. i post one message in the cbox a day. really. i dont know what i would do without y'all... but im starting to think about what would happen.


<333shoe-la.

Well sorry that we've lost interest for the most part. I think that we should make a whole new site and start over, actually, cause this one has ended already. You could make it and do whatever the heck you want with it, put all your ideas to use, and then you could ask us to join. I would~

But anyways, if you really want to make this active again, I think you shouldn't just get on once a day for about a minute...That doesn't help much at all...

[Leila (Shoe)]

Okay. Yeah. Your right. It doesn't help.

But then again; why should I even care when no one else does?


I have an announcement. That I've been holding in for too long. Much too long.

MINA AND I ARE STARTING A SITE.





&&the thing is, that a lot of you guys dont do well with MY rules. and yeah. thats it. im also a toughie.

[Boot]

I can deal with your rules.

...I think...What ARE your rules, again? xDD

[jazzy619]

I understand that it's frusterating but you can't believe you're the only one doing anything. I've been coming on, making posts where it's possible on all my characters. When people stop answering me, it's pointless to make another post.

Also, I don't think dumping this site is necessary. School's almost over. Right now is most likely one of the most busy times for all middle school and highschool students. I know it is for me. Once summer gets here, maybe we could try to get back on daily? I don't know about anyone else but I do make daily visits to BOTFF. I don't want it to die. And it hasn't yet. What we need is to figure out who's willing to put in a little effort to get the site running again. We need to get a new plot and we need new threads.

I'm willing to help all I can. I am not staff, however, so I can't make the big decisions. You guys have got to do that.

Sorry if I sound pushy. I'm not annoyed with anyone, that's just how I know I come off as sometimes when I type.

Let's try to do this. Giving up on this site to begin another isn't going to do much. I mean, what's going to be on the new site to attract people that can't be put here? You'll end up with the same problem without followers. Considering you've got followers here, you really don't have to move to another site.

School's already over for everyone, I thought..

And it would be better to make a new site, because we wouldn't have all the old, dead threads hanging around and bugging us. And we could make new characters, new everything. It'd help make things more interesting.

[jazzy619]

OK, that actually does sound good. If everyone here would go...and I've got two websites with active members. I would be happy to affiliate. But, again, we would really need everyone here to move..

And you guys are done with school?? I'm not. I've still got 2 weeks. And I know Carls is still in school, too. I don't know about anyone else.

[Boot]

I'm not out of school, cause my homeschool lasts till I get everything done and that's not gonna end up happening for a looong time. xD But my old school is, and Lacey and Rice and Shoe (I think) and...I'm not sure who else...But yah. xD

I think everyone would join...Everyone who actually gets on, anyways...Such as Rice, you, me, Shoe, Lacey, and Alice. Possibly Alexa and Carls, if they get on sometime soon.

[Leila (Shoe)]

I'm not saying you in paticular Abby---In fact, you're the only one making posts anymore. It's just there's no where for you to post anymore, lol. sorry if you felt i was calling you out.

okay. so yeah. and no. im just... once mina and i are finished with the new site, im completely done with BOTFF. the reason why this isnt working and why it will for our site:
people are holdings us back and not willing to work. my sister and i are willing to work. lacey, who i hope i can also get on that site, is willing to work.

but ive gotta say something..


I know some of you, like Boot has told me once before, are a bit scared of me.

Well guess what. I'm scary. Deal. And I know that some of you have learned to deal with me.
Or... Wait, I wouldn't be here if none of you learned to deal with me. nevermind.
I love you guys. Seriously. Dont be afraid of me.

I'm an eleven year old girl, even if I act like I could be your older sister whose always ontop of you about whatever the hell. most of you are older than me. ive learned from you. youve learned from me.


so anyways, i just felt the need to say that mini-speech because i felt like i really inspired one of you in paticular, and that same person has inspired me so much i might explode.

[Leila (Shoe)]

And uhm. No. Shoe isn't out of school yet.

BUT HEY! Mr.D [my best friend/my TA] says im now a middle schooler.

[Boot]

I just guessed, cause you haven't really talked much for a while...That's why I said (I think). xD

[Lacey]

I like the idea of a new site. Shoe-la, I'd be glad to join your site and help you with anything you need on it.

Shoe's said everything, I agree with her about everything to do with BOTFF and making a new site and such. I can't say anything else that she really hasn't covered. I'm going to repeat something, however, just to drive it into your skull:

None of us, not even admins, can do anything if we have nothing to work with.

As for excuses, I hate them. I hate them with the very fiber of my being. To me, they just... they're worthless words that you use to get away or do something. Don't give me that crap, I won't take it. This is why I won't be on a lot: I'm busy, I have a life, deal with it if I'm not on.

And BOOT, Shoe's rules are on the other inactivity thread. I agree with all of them.

[Boot]

What other inactivity thread?

[jazzy619]

OK. I do agree with the new site idea. I honestly didn't at first but now I see why it would be beneficial. And I will be glad to help out. Like Lacey said, I will post daily but I can't keep a thread going by myself. I've got to have someone who will give me something to work with. I'm not saying it was you guys. It was myself as well, typing in things that weren't necessarily easy to follow up on.

Boot, remember the first thread we had about inactiveness? The one that was supposed to get people to start posting again? I think it was called something like "no one ever posts anymore". That's where her rules are.

And thanks, Shoe, I know you weren't just talking about me. I just want to make it clear that I'm one of the people trying to keep the site alive. If you make another site I'd love the link.

People that are afraid of Shoe, don't be. She's a middle schooler (now ) that knows how to keep order, be authoritive, and speak her mind. I'm 15 and I can't always do that. Those are good traits to have in a personality. She can get stuff done.

Sorry, I'm done rambling.

[Boot]

Have fun with your new site, guys. ^.^

Sorry for posting as a guest, I'm too lazy to login. xD
