You will notice a couple of additions to the staff roster. Kei has been promoted to Co-Admin, Pain Killer has been promoted to moderator.
To those who are unaware, this is due to my own slack of activity. Over recent months I've found myself less and less inclined to be here, and I don't want the board to suffer because of it. As such, I am reinstating the Co-Admins as the top chain of the site.
I don't want anyone to start questioning what the sites future is, whether I'm here or not, this place shall keep going. It has to, it's as simple as that. Too much time and effort has been invested for all the work to go under, and this is why I've chosen to step back and seriously consider my future here. If I can't continue as the sites admin as I should, I will eventually appoint a new admin, but for now I shall continue to lurk where needed, do what I can.
I'm sorry guys, I really am. I'm supposed to be the head guy here, and I've done bugger all for ages.
Hopefully this will end soon and I can get back to action, but we'll see.
~Liam.

Well, I guess this wouldn’t exactly be the best time to do this then, but since I don’t enjoy lingering around here anymore I guess this is just as inevitable as well. I will resign my task as moderator, I think it would be better if it was given to Kvist if you’re looking for someone in the same time zone as me, or otherwise to people like Valencia or Odin if you’re looking for active moderators. Anyway, changes that are being made here are in my opinion not sufficient to solve the problem in any way, hence why I’m leaving the board probably. Haven’t actively been rping anyway and nothing that spikes my curiosity seems to go on either. In my opinion Manuel has a good point when he says he wants to refresh the entire staff. In all honesty, more than halve the staff is simply inactive and the only reason they want to keep their status is in my opinion purely based on having that little title and perhaps some times mod around. I guess more active players should carry these tasks but again, that’s not mine to decide. As I’ve said in the VIP, I agree with Leaf, but apparently that issue is not important for people to either respond to it or take action. Maybe with an oldie as Manuel put into the position he has desired for some time now, things can turn for the better, but it wouldn’t feel right to be an inactive guy during the hard times and come back happily when things turn better again. I do hope this site continues to exist, as Liam here put it. Though relying on it to continue purely because it has cost a lot of time and energy to build it the way it is will not be enough to keep it alive, members do. So hopefully we have more members that aren’t as cowardly as me and leave. I had some difficulty with ‘going with the flow’ with all gun things but it doesn’t seem we can get rid of these things easily so yeah… I’ll follow Leaf in this one. Kvist or any other person that has been allowed control over Kokaku, if it is in your best interest to use him as a shield and let him die, go right ahead. If the thread ever continues that is. Shuya has won the lottery and left for good, hooray. Oh and my third character isn’t even worth mentioning, the inactivity of fellow rpers had immediately rendered him useless anyway. So, have fun rping everyone and those who have me on msn can always contact me there for a chat and those who don’t have my msn are probably not interested in such a chat anyway

It seems that the time to start passing down the torches has come. I'm in the same boat as Liam, in that I don't really know what my future here is. I guess I feel like I've lost my flair for RPing. But with any luck it will return to me and all will be well... I don't know.
I guess this is why you just don't see older people on these sites. They just eventually grow out of it and pass it on to the younger, more enthusiastic generation. And while my interests grow further into other feilds such as film and finally authoring a book, I find myself with less and less of my creative juices flowing into the site where they rightly should.
But as I've already said, we'll see where this goes, because frankly, I don't want to let this place go. I have too many good memories from here, and I like knowing that I'm helping to bring the same experience to others.

I'm cranky that I didn't see your message about this earlier Sjoerdje. You can expect me to pester you on MSN. After reading all three of the posts above mine, I felt it left this in a very depressing tone. Our head Admin, Veteran Moderator, and even a Co-Admin are all becomming rather nonexistant, and I can see how this might discourage some of you members who may be reading these. Fear not! Its true we are losing some great members, but with any gap it leaves room to fill in. This RPB WILL go on, as even if I'm the only one here I'll keep RPing! That's right bitches, so for those of you lurking around the OOC and reading other peoples threads over and over again, start making posts! It's time to murder this inactivity. And remember folks:
