Okay, before you read any further, don't think I'm about to suggest we give up, because I'm not.
However, the forum is at a stand-still; there aren't enough characters or members to roleplay the plot. And until we can roleplay the plot, no one is going to want to join, along with a few other reasons like the fact our forum doesn't really have a skin...(I'm pretty sure none of us know how to make skins, so I'm not blaming anybody)
What I'm proposing is that we look at the forum a little differently.
Instead of trying to get more members in order to roleplay the plot, let's change the plot so it's fitting to the amount of people we already have.
In order to do that, we would probably have to make the amount of clans smaller. I love IceClan and was looking forward to playing Cottonfrost and seeing everyone else RP their IC characters, but maybe we should just stick to the original four? Or we could even go with two made-up clans and convert all of our characters into them. I dunno.
The plot could probably stay the same- in fact, I think the less clans the better for it.
So, what do you guys think? It's a compromise, but I think it would get the forum running a lot faster. And...honestly, if I didn't know how cool you guys were and I were looking for a warriors forum, this one would be the last one on my list. We don't have any great graphics designers or anything that sets us apart from the others- on the outside, the forum's just blah. But on the inside is what counts- the roleplaying, and no one on the outside can see that our roleplay /is/ good. That's why we should keep it a small group of people; we'll roleplay together and slowly build up the forum- and new people may come eventually.

woops, forgot to make a suggestions board, haha""
I have nothing to say, really. I think we're all expecting things a little too soon. Though the forum's been alive for awhile, it hasn't really been active. What we need are people to ACTUALLY make more characters.
I'll brb with ideas and stuff IN THE MEANTIME, MOVING AND STICKY-ING AND MAKING IT IMPORTANT because though I don't agree, I admit, you raise very good points.

Hmmm.... Its hard to say just what we need to do. I agree with Tam that we're all waaay too hopeful and greedy, but I also agree with Claire that we need to get more things going if we want to proceed with anything... This is so so so difficult!!! aha, I'll turn on my iPod and see if I can get some inspiration... *ish back* Well, after thinking about it a bit, I think that yes, reducing the amount of Clan's would help, but it would take too much time to decide. ThunderClan would end up being an out I think, seeing as its leaderless, but there are still a bunch of members in it. And the rest of the Clan's are growing, too, so that just makes this idea... kill my brain cells xD It would be too too hard to decide who would be leaders and the other high positions, because we've already got really of all them claimed. It wouldn't be fair to deprive everyone of what they've already been promised. So, sorry Claire, but I'm out on that idea. I'd also like keeping IceClan, and besides, its gotten a fair bit of cats joined in. SO I'm out on that one too. What about we... just make temp charries to start the plot? We're doing that on my site while we wait and try to attract more members, and it's been a lot of fun. I could try to make a couple of skins; I'm getting pretty good with color schemes and such. Anybody else have ideas?  --Kiyana |

WAIT A SECOND ICECLAN IS MY CLAN ;_; I FEEL SO BETRAYED no no no I kid, I kid XD
What I REALLY think is that we need a skin, badly. Why? People are superficial. Even I am. When I'm doing research, I spend more time reading websites that have a more professional, brighter, generally prettier layout, than one that is plain white. The plain white page could be just as credible, but because it's boring... I don't even want to look at it. XD;;; I'm working on a layout plan right now, and Kiyana can be my RIGHT HAND GURL, my layout-making partner ;D ;D I'll post my ideas later on tonight. IT'S GONNA BE SOOOOO SICK OK I like HTML durhurhur
And in terms of compromising the plot... well, maybe instead of doing that, we could create a second "major plot", a much shorter sub-plot, if you will, to play around with until we get more members. A sort of prelude to the doom to come I'M FEELING POETIC LEAVE ME ALONE
Anyways, yeah : ) That's my input. For some reason I didn't post this djkghsdjkghskjgha

Yayyyy, skins! Okay that sounded disgusting when I read it back to myself... >.>
aaaaaannnyyywaaayyssssss, a sub-plot could do wonders for the forum. Roleplaying attracts members, and roleplaying doesn't happen without plots! So yesyesyesyes mini sub plotttish thingy-ma-bobber whadda ya call it.
Hows THAT for poetic, Tam!! xDDDDD

Yeah, my idea is a lazy one.  It was meant to be like that, but I guess you guys are willing to take action. (Unlike me, although I'll be forced to help now Pffff ) And It would be unfair to take away Tam's clan.  *Switches into forum revival mode* Skins and external coolness will help the forum big time. Also, I think certain clans need more boards and stuff, and that maybe we should have clan border boards, and maybe make rules about switching to different boards, cause that whole thing confuzzles me. Anything I can do? I have no idea. And as said onetrillondyeight times before, TC needs a leader. Who doesn't have a high position yet? I think everyone who doesn't should submit one and all the staff can come together in secret and choose one...*shifty eyes*  |

OH SWEET NESS OKAY LETS GO FOR IT! CHICHI TFCOWNER DRACO SUWA AND PEACHPELT MAKE A THUNDERCLAN LEADER IF YOU WANT ONE!!!!!
