New Year: Less Staff

[Andrew]

Hey guys,

I'm just informing everyone that there has been a cut back in the number of staff. There are far too much inactive staff members. The site also currently has enough staff to manage everyone. We're working on getting the site active again. When we get a few more members and set up a few things such as Daycare, we will be looking for a few more staff members.

Anyway, the following members have been restored to just normal members. Sorry guys, but your activity level speaks for itself. All of these staff members have been absent for at least three months without any notice. Here's the list:

Ash Ketchum
rdorrjr
Lance
Ryousuke
Solent
Joss

If the members listed here return they may reclaim their positions but for now, its too messy to have so many staff if they're not even going to be here.

At the end of next month, the following staff members may be demoted. Once again, sorry guys. We really do need active staff though. I will restore any positions if the member returns and promises to stay active or at least give an excuse why they won't be and an expected date of return. Here's the list of pending staff members:

Black Unicorn
Alice/Lorelei
Morrigan

I don't want to demote any of you, considering how much you've all done for the site. I'm adding another month to see if you'll return. Hopefully you will.

Thanks guys,
Andrew.

you sent them PM`s or emails right? asking them to return or give us notice if they plan to return.

[Andrew]

Yeah, of course.

It's a shame to see them go as they did contribute nicely to the place when they were active but that's the problem. People fall out of activity and they can't keep up with their commitments. It's part of the reason why I decline any moderator positions on any forums. I just don't want to let anyone down.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I really wish they came back. There were some good times on here. That's the sad thing. They were doing so much - Alice had a lot planned and helped set up the Pokémon in each area, Morrigan had some nice graphics made and helped design the forum's skin, Solent made the current logo at the top of the page, etc. I suppose everyone has other stuff to do with their lives aswell. I don't mind taking up any positions this year because I'm on a break year which is easy. Next year will probably be fine too. After that, I have important exams so I might have to leave. I suppose that's just the way things go. At least you came back. I wish the others would do the same.

Thats to bad. I am back now sorry for being gone for so long. Once I figure out how to make a role play I am making on on another proboards but first I must figure out how to make the currency and everything else which is why I was going to ask solent for help.

Hey guys,

I'm just letting you know that more staff have been restored to their member status due to lack of activity. These former-staff members are Black Unicorn and Alice/Lorelei. Both, have been very helpful in developing the site in the past. They've done a lot of work and I'm sorry to see them go. However, their activity level shows why they are losing their positions. They've given no excuse to being absent for so long and we haven't heard from them. There is no point in having staff if they going to be online. Again, I've PM'd them, telling them this and if they decide to return, we'll be more than happy to welcome them back.

Here's the list of the current staff members at the moment:

Administrators
Prof. Oak
Andrew

Global Moderators
phoenixchild

Moderators
-none-

Graphic Moderators
Morrigan

Trainee Moderators
Caroline Steele
Trent Saguaro

Thanks again,
Andrew.
