And the whole point of being a mod IS to be there for the users, that's the whole point about being a mod; work first RP later, that's the sacrifice for earning a title.
I'm not exactly sure if you noticed or not, but myself, Velum, Leon, Sephiroth, and Sage/Relena are
not moderators, per se. We are merely the people that the admin of the site has devoted
her trust into for going over profiles and helping people with their RP skills. We
are here for the users.
Now, myself, I know Sephiroth and Leon in person. Sephiroth and Leon actually both have REAL LIFE JOBS. Being an Instructor is only something that they can do when they have, oh, I don't know, free time? Leon's computer has also been acting up, A LOT and she's been trying to get that looked at or be getting a new laptop all together.
Velum is my boyfriend (and yes, I know I don't normally publicize that, however...), he has also got real life issues to be dealing with. There are some health complications that he's been having to deal with, and yes, I know that probably isn't my place to be saying that. (so... I'm very sorry, Vel D8).
I don't know Sage that well, however, I do know that she's got school, and yes, school and school studies have most of us bogged down.
NOW, me, personally,
I have health issues as well. I was diagnosed with cancer May of 2007, and YES I'm still undergoing treatment every now and then, and even though I am home schooled, I also have real life issues as well. I work at a zoo most of the day, so when I get home, I'm tired, smelly, fatigued and all that other great stuff.
So you know what? Us hearing about profiles not being looked at and accepted or posted to every couple of hours, every couple of days or what have you is really, really irritating. I'll also have you know that I am probably
one of the most mellow users on this site, however, I must point out the fact that even though you say 'yes, let's get back on topic' you are
still bringing up things that I and others want to have
void.
Again, I have to reiterate,
my knowledge of FF9 is nonexistent. I'll leave your profiles to Sephiroth. PLEASE, just be patient.
This isn't a rant about my profile in specific, I'm saying that in order for the RPB to expand, then more users will have to join. I know EXACTLY how to get atleast 15 members to join before the end of the weekend. I can't garuntee they will be the best RPers but their profiles should speak that, but I don't want to bring up the hype just to see them disapointed.
Obviously, with the 'we are currently undergoing changes' comment, I don't understand whats going on, so I will ask if I should 'hold' on this member gain for now then for your sakes?
*sighs* I would also like to point out the fact that this thread
is not about what we can do to gain more members than that of what we have. Though having more members here that were actually active would be really nice, this thread
is not about that.
NOW PLEASE, BACK ON TOPIC.
