                  Last time I purged, I accidentally got rid of some sentimental stuff. I'd rather you do the purging this time Magni, but I know you've been busy IRL.

The question is, is there anyone around to be sentimental for it?
Ay, basura. That other guild... well the captain finally reared her head and proceeded to act like the worst possible person.

@Welian: I'm not against a Barton branch of the RPR; it just seemed to be leaning toward focusing on that to the exclusion of the guild. Perhaps I was reading into things too much, though, as excitement over a new venture can easily be mistaken as disinterest of previous ventures.

@Magni:
We had an inactive member purge once upon a time, as our member count in now way reflected our activity (not that our current member cout does, either, of course). So, a thread/topic purge sounds like a good idea.
I don't think it's as much trying something completely new as trying strategies until they work; no startegy is a guarantee, so circumstances differing at the different times a strategy was tried could have a significant impact. Of course, this is all speculation.

I could take a crack at it if you're too busy, though I'd have to be crew again to do so.

@Skreemer: That's why moving them into a crew-only subforum may be for the best, just in case we ever want to see them again ("recycle bin" VS permanent deletion).

Of course Snowman.
And as my final update on things over that other guild, I just verbally ripped their captain and her bitter as ******** cheerleader douche a new one, called her out on stealing our ideas, her unwillingness to cooperate and her refusal to prove that she hadnt got any form of contact from my new captain and deleted our thread of willing recruits that showed she was in the minority.
Rant over.

                  Huh.

                  I mean, I honestly thought that "move to a new guild, keep the brand" idea was a good idea for them. I didn't realize there was so much damn drama in there. It's interesting to see Arrinae in there. I met her in Barton Town, in Mud's RP advertisement thread. Not a friend, but not someone I hate either, though I do think she's overly opinionated. She once admitted to not liking "ugly" villains in her roleplay.

                  Anyways, Skreemer, if you're looking to make a new guild, I wish you luck and I'd be happy to work on guild graphics for ya.

                  Yoder: I think RPR will be alright in the long run. I believe I'll make an activity check thread - send another anouncement and ask people to post in there, then I think we should be able to safely remove members who haven't posted since, say, 2013.

1. I am not going to tackle a member purge, but I am tempted to say "All RPs that are older than 2015 for their last post are at risk. If nobody posts in them or crew is not notified to archive any older RPs, they will be deleted. I don't mind archiving them, but if nobody cares, then why bother?

2. I'm open to ideas, and not just from you and wellie. I always tried to run this place democratically. Doing what the populace felt was best for the populace.

3. The only reason you aren't crew is you didn't want to be. I know you. I trust you. I believe in you.

Oh, that statement makes me think of Bleach: Elites. The old guard left the guild, but did not vacate the positions of power. Then they would come back and raise cain to any changes we tried to enact to improve the guild. That more than anything else spelled the doom of the guild. Good on yah for standing up to her. Hell . . . if I was like that here, I'd expect somebody to smack me down a few pegs.

Ugly. wow. that makes me just sit slack-jawed at her idiocy. And superficial mannerisms. Just wow. As for the activity thread, sure. Why not? There are a few names I would hold exempt- like 5 or less. A few oldbies. Other than that, sure. If you want to tackle that, I'm more than willing to endorse that plan.

BTW, why oh why do you have a horde of (list) and (/list) on your posting style? I never see them do anything, and yet you have so very many to weed through when I quote you! eek

                  Because they indent my content in a pleasing manner, like so, and I've stuck just enough in there that I can slip in a 100x100 icon on the left and it works perfectly as a simple post format for different characters.

Alright, before the purge begins, can I just grab my stuff for my failed Gundam RP and that one about mad scientists?
And... The Department... we get this place moving again, I'll keep it here, since me and Yoder already had some great story arcs planned out and after that first playthrough, I've identified the strengths and weaknesses of it, so we can restart with clearer vision.

Nothing has be begun yet, Skreemer . . . so consider it just a head's up at this point.

Of course captain. I got the Gundam one sent over to one of my new collaborators at a whole new world.
Captain there said we'd be pleased as punch to ally. Our reputation here still carries a lot of weight with older roleplayers and we're very happy to have members popping back and forth.

@Skreemer: That sounds like quite the sticky situation. I'm glad the RPR has been drama-free for the most part.
I'm glad to hear that the RPR has a good reputation.

@Welian: Yeah, an activity check wouldn't be a bad idea either, though I think the topic purge takes priority over a member purge.

@Magni: @1: That sounds like a decent criterion.
