Uh, about the deadness of this board. I've been sort of poking around here for the past few days, and it is...well, incredibly boring. Nobody posts, our veterans are all gone....Don't kill me for suggesting this, but maybe we should consider moving to a bigger board, with a lot of established members, new people, and most importantly of all, no GODDAMNED popups.
*dodges wave of brownies and vomit*
*vomit?*
*what?*
Seriously. Having our own board sort of worked at the beginning, but now all of the veterans have left, and I think we could all agree this place is slow, and dying. Moving to a board where people post everyday, with responsible mods(no offense to you new ones. Just you old ones. ), would really pick things up. I know it wouldn't just be our community any more, but that novelty of that's kind of worn out a bit, don't you think? It's starting to feel like a few isolated people, instead of a real forum.
I really don't want this board to die...doesn't anybody remember how it was back at pojo, where you actually got replies to your fics, and usually within a day or so? Replies from all the cool veterans, and stuff? That was the fun part of having a fanfiction board...this kind of situation we have here is such a far cry from what it used to be, and what it should be.
I actually don't have any suggestions on where we could go, but I really think we should relocate to a bigger board. Coming to a board where no one really posts is just depressing, you know?
If you guys all agree, does anybody have any suggestions on where we should go?
I dunno...maybe Kurai's thing, if there's a lot of people. Or Pojo, if it doesn't totally suck.

I would sacrifice my newfound "adminity" if I thought Pojo would bring back the fandom-specific fic boards. What this board needs is newbies, so we either move, or bring them in through word of mouth. Literally tell a friend-- I have told several.
blah..
Okay, Ive tried with the whole pojo thing. Ive tried. Supposedly theres a topic in the mod forum. And at one point (which actually was a while ago when i first asked..) They were debating on getting a new mod for the place. Either me, or Kurai, or a few other choices that none of you would recognize.
The place is still dead. =/
Hm, i think ill ask puni again.. XD

tmth 17: puuunnniii
Punichu: ?
tmth 17: did the topic wabout the fic forum ever go anywhere?
Punichu: Nope.
tmth 17: will it?
tmth 17: because if nothings gonna change, it should be gotten rid of or somethin. -___-
Punichu: Doubt it.
Punichu: You could e-mail Pojo yourself about it.
tmth 17: whats his email?
Punichu: Pojo
Punichu: Pojo@pojo.com still works...
[/convo_with_punichu]
Well. Lets all mass email Pojo about the problems at pojo's fic place. =p
(and tell him there should be me as mod. cause that'd be cool ;p)
But you guys, theres no way he's gonna make specific forums for fics. Unless we give him money. But the fic forum ain't THAT bad, we can change it if theres a group effort. =p
Re: blah..
I dunno...I've been there a bit for the past few days. There's a bunch of people who multiple post on one topic for fics, and everything is just really disorganised. I don't like how it's all the fanfiction in one forum.
I tried over at kurai's place...the board is lively enough, but the fic section is dead as anything.
I was hoping there was some other place out there...I'll try searching around.
