This site is such a freakin' drain...it doesn't give much assurance that it's not gonna die like it did last year. -sighs-

When the original Guild died, this one had to be put in place...well it's not that simple...the original Guild died yes, but then no one knew about anything for a month or two and then a temp board was made and then this was made and everyone's work was lost. And hell, people lost friends because the old site died so suddenly and no one was prepared to handle it.

It still hurts to think about it... >__>

Of course when I have posts set up to go the Guild prefers to go offline for hours and hours.

And then I had to rush off to a hockey game but today is dedicated to RPing, site permitting. -grumble- >__<'

Fucking insane that we have to put up with this...

I know.. I'm just hoping it's resolved soon. Mahz is doing his best to fix it.

Patience, that's all I'm going to say. I know it's well worth it.

I hope so. I am getting so SICK of this being more down than up. One minute I have a post ready, the next I don't and if RPs dies, it's the site's fault as well as Mahz's.

Seems like the site has gotten a lot more stable. I trust you're busy with holiday stuff, though, so don't worry about getting a post out too soon. Of course, the sooner the better, but I'll be understanding if it's after New Year's.

I wanna get something up soon. I'm tired of drama and inactivity around here so I hope the stability helps get things back to normal. I know people are jumping to other sites or just getting fed up but hopefully things get resolved soon, I know school will be picking up for some so it's better to get stable now and hunker down, than try to do it when shit hits the fan i think.

Maybe I was rambling...sorry~

I am playing Fantasy Life so it def keeps me in the mood for a good ol' fantasy story though.

Well for sure. I think the issue is getting resolved though - personally I've been seeing a lot better uptime during the day and even evenings, though less so in evenings, understandably.

*crosses fingers* I know Mahz is doing his best, so I'm more than willing to bunker down and wait.

Good to hear as well! I've got another story where my partner is AFK for a Christmas vacation so, believe me, I'm doing my best to keep in the right headspace to pick back up as soon as they return.

Slight more uptime, as you put it, though I've been MIA for a few days so I wouldn't know if things have been "improving" or anything. I don't know if Mahz is doing anything, no one does though. I mean he's not keeping anyone updated, if anything some communication is all I'd welcome, a solution can wait for a week with downtime for all I care but just knowing about anything would be better than silence.

I figure, a lot of people are popping in and out during this time of the year. ^^; With any luck, we'll all have a better sense of stability and can post without having to worry about the site being down or people leaving without giving word.

Mhm.. Well. One of my partners has already come out and asked point blank if I can be convinced to move to another roleplay site. I told him yes, with one condition: if the site hasn't improved enough for his taste by January 7th (enough time for Mahz, and most of the players, to get back from holiday stuff, so we can see if the improvement was simply due to a decrease in traffic because of holiday stuff), then I'll move.

Now, even if that happens, I'm staying here until every single one of my roleplays is finished (either completed, ideally, or abandoned) or every single one of my partners has switched to a different method of communication (different site, messenger application, email, etc). So, no worries; I'm not going anywhere. Might be splitting my attention some, but as I say in my 1x1 seeking thread, roleplays are for finishing.

On that note, however, if you'd like to discuss moving to a different forum or changing to email, that's fine by me; he's wanting us to move to Iwaku (popular enough choice) so if you're favorable towards it, I'll happily extend you the same offer.

I guess my reason for not just jumping ship immediately is I've been here just long enough to have a good handful of roleplays together (five active, one about to begin), and so I'm not as gung-ho about moving along. That or I'm just a sucker for an underdog story haha. Either way. If you're willing to bunker down and wait things out here, I'll be in that trench with you; if you want to move elsewhere, we'll move together.

Finally right?

I'll see if I can muster up a reply, with the Guild acting up and us stopping and starting, my motivation for this has been waning.

Well, I mean, I sincerely hope you're able, but I wouldn't hold it against you if you do have to drop it. Sure, I'd be disappointed but things happen, right?.. I know the stopping and starting has been partially my fault, even if neither of us are to blame for the stability issues of the site.. So, yeah. If you're able to pick back up, awesome, if not.. well.. That's just life.
