Alright, so I see that everyone here is making posts about how inactive the members are getting, how the staff feel like they can't do anything if the members don't contribute, or even how every member received is a noob of some shape or form. Well here's the end of it here.
Starting from this point on, there will be a strict reformation process where we, as a community, put in our best effort to reinforce the site's activity. Now, I know that some people may have already lost hope, but truth be told: If you didn't care, or you truly lost hope, you wouldn't continue to log on. Correct?
If you would like to participate in this process to increase the site's activity and hopefully bring the site back to it's former justice, then really all you have to do is log in and continue to be the great members that we know you can be. In the chat box, members will be disallowed from bad mouthing new members. Sure, new members come on everyday and they ask how do you do this, how do you do that, do you want to brawl. It's great stressful and aggravating, that's understandable. But instead of directing them to a thread, it's better that you give them a walk-through of the site.
Take this as a example. You just brought a game from the store, but have no idea what you're about to play. You've been suggested by friends, or advertisements everywhere, but never seen how the game works or anything. So you get home, and you turn the game on, and everything loads up. But then you're starting at the screen, and wondering what do I do next? So you go to one of your friends who persuaded you to buy the game. Which would you rather prefer: Them telling you to go read the booklet that's inside the game's case, or them walk you through it and show you what you have to do, until you can do it on your own? I think the answer choice is quite obvious.
Back to reformation. In order to properly reform anything, you need support. Who is the support for Bakugan World Championship's Reformation? The members. Each and everyone of you count. We need as much support as we can get because honestly, a site is nothing without its members. Remember, that was a line that people tried to use against the former admin of the site, and now every member is basically going against that logic. Sure Bakugan may not be as popular as it was two years ago, but that shouldn't stop you from liking it just as much as you did before.
Bakugan doesn't have a new series... So what? That is the purpose behind roleplaying sites. You create your own story. What is stopping us from making the next series ourselves? But just in form of thread. If anyone here truly still love the site, they will try their hardest to stay active. I remember the people's problem before was a bad main admin, but now that that's gone, what's wrong now? Site activity? Honestly, we have less than 1/4 of the members we've once had. We've cut down to about 3 active members a day, and probably 1 or 2 staff. That is not acceptable in my books. I will not stand for this, and if the site does happen to die completely... I will at least know that I tried. I thank all who took the time to read this thread.
