Just everyone can read this I was trying to come up with ideas to keep activity up. Firstly I thought maybe we could stop doing patrols for now unless members want to make them themselves? Because sometimes being put on a patrol is in a way forcing you to post and maybe you don't want to post with that character because you don't have muse for them or you don't have time to join another thread and inactivity in patrol threads just holds the whole thing up and gets pretty annoying because it's going nowhere and nobody can post. Sorry for the lack of grammar in that sentence. Ok so that's one idea.
So then if we do that maybe we could just stick to mostly two people being a thread so that if one person can't post or has a few days of inactivity they don't hold it up for everyone else which can get frustrating.
That's all I have for now, opinions and other ideas would be helpful and we can see what we can do to keep Anarchy active (: I mean I should be able to post once most nights but I have about an hour of study each night plus all the homework that my teachers give me which is a lot, so on average I get 3-4 bits of homework each night for the next day so it might be a little challenging but I will try my best!

Not doing patrols would be good. Could we just close the Shard-Dream-Ember-Mint patrol? The only real reason it's still open is that you guys wanted Ember-Shard to fight, and well, that hasn't happened, and it would take some off of everyone's plate if we just closed that and then you guys can organize a thread for them to fight in when things are active again.
As far as Tempestclan goes, I moved Lost in the Summer Sky to Dead Role play, and Watch your Back will soon have Wolfy in it to help wrap it up. I think we should just plan for it to end after that interaction, Hail can speak to Void and that can be all organized when things are active as well.
As for Not Enough, with patrols do you want to just put that on hold? Or close it up? Nothing important was going to happen except for Clear showing up I thought, and like that, we can do that in a new two person thread when you have time in the future.

we need advertising, actually. new members are really the only thing that can keep a site going.
and devotion from old members of course, but if you guys wanna cancel patrols that's fine.

Unfortunately no, I only know her first name, and she hasn't been on deviantART. She does this though, disappears and then comes back. I am almost positive she will be back, but I have seen her disappear for years before on other sites. :P It's really just a waiting thing with Aero.
Advertising doesn't do much good when the site isn't active, though. :/ I've been advertising, but the site is inactive, so there isn't a lot of point. Dx

we're not ~inactive~ we're just slow. I wish I had photoshop more than anything so that I could make a new skin to draw in members, but I can't. if any of you have some way of sending me photoshop then DO ITT. anarchy would be forever in your debt.
also unfortunately waiting on someone while the site is on the brink of inactivity like this isn't really.... ideal. so. well, yeah. I can give her a little while longer but if I think things are being held up because of her absence I'm gonna have to do something about it. \:

Yay for no patrols. I feel forced into those myself. Dawn, I'm sorry, but I'll be doing the wrapping up with Hail and Ashen on Thursday I believe. As for Clear, you'll still post with Dusk and I in Trenton right? We've kept that post going.
i don't wanna delete the characters I have just because some people cannot post right away with their characters, but I'll do everything I can to make sure I've posted some where with them.
And Minty, can you possibly spare a thread with Toxicwinter and Shadedpaw in ZC with me please? I'd be most thankful.

That's fine Wolfy, I've got all the patience in the world. (x As I said with Clear, I'll bring her in when the thread is winding down I suppose. I'm extremely busy, with fair and my cow and my horses and school and just everything, just like everybody else. I have time to check in mostly, but never enough it seems to write a very decent post. :/

Dawn, how can you even say it's not worth advertising because the site's inactive? o-o
anyways, i love you all for staying active. even though i really can't be right now, it's comforting that i come on and wolfy, dusk, and dawn are all still talking on the cbox and posting. <3
oh and keeping the messages updated in the cbox helps draw members, actually. it makes us look lazy instead of everyone is really super busy. xD

I didn't say that, Lily. I merely pointed out that I have been advertising, and it hasn't done a whole lot of good, and then guessed at why; since that and chatting has been really the only thing I've had time for recently, and everyone else is very busy too, making the site look rather inactive. That was just my opinion, I was sharing it like everyone else was, so please don't get annoyed with me. Obviously I'm wrong, so I won't mention it again. I wasn't trying to start a fight. c:

Oooh. Oh dear... Well, it's late, but I'll throw my two cents in here. I leik the cancelling the patrol things. As for the inactivity/activity thing; it looks as if new members are joining; just not... being... active, I suppose. I've been watching the 'newest member' thingy and whatnot and the member count appears to be growing. (perhaps its just me) As for the school-inactivity thing; I think, although many of you if not all of you, have already started school, it's not going to be as disaterous as we all think or as it may appear to be. I'm sure activity will pick back up, just in time. Perhaps we all need to get into the swing of things? I'unno. That's just what happens on my old Warriors site I joined before, everyone's active as can be in the summer, and then the site gets reeeeally slow for the first month or two of school, and then it's back to semi-activity, regular posting, at least.
Okay, worthless dabbling done. c:

well, yeah. it's a cycle. during school things slow down in the roleplay world and there's nothing we can do about that.
and yeah, you're right. new members ARE joining, they just aren't doing anything more than making an account. I'm not sure how to fix that besides pming them and being friendly.
