Leadership

[Froststar]

So who are the leaders of the Clans now? I need to know. We need at least one person in charge of each Clan who is going to come on at least once a week. If we can't do that, then we need to seek help outside of this site.

[Swiftstar]

Shadowclan leader here.

[Ivystar]

I think Dog is WC leader.

[Froststar]

Is Mossy still TC leader?

[Ivystar]

I think so. I also think Spotty is RC leader, but her, Mossy's, and Dog's activity has been limited the past couple weeks.

Well it's the end of the school year. I've been swamped with tests and assignments so I imagine the leaders are as well. There's not exactly a lot of cats in need of leadership at the moment. If it becomes a problem during the summer, THEN I would be worried.

[Froststar]

It's just that it WAS a problem last summer, which makes me think it will be this summer too. I'll be on more this summer because I'll be working my internship in front of a computer all day, so my breaks will pretty much be filled with this and email...and the occasional spider solitaire.

Well, I think we should at least be advertising to get more members. And offering leadership positions is the best way to ensure that, methinks. Or promising something activity at least. Which we don't have. Right now. Obviously.

[Fuzzymind]

Hmm. Typically I RP during the summer more, and the other boards I'm on are the same. I guess it depends who's actually writing. If anything, we should be targeting younger new members to come rather than older busier members. The Warrior Cats focus in general is going to be hard to sell since they're a dime a dozen and the series is having a diminishing fanbase.

Meanwhile I know the board Icey admins that's called Islands of Life has like 150~80 guests visit everyday even though no one posts there anymore due to low activity and membership because it's an original and interesting realm. It's weird but that's what's hip and new now in RP land.

[Froststar]

Bleh. Me does not like the hip and the new. Well, occasionally, but not plastic hips, no.

So, we should advertise more is what you're telling me. Or find some other ploy that makes people want to join. Like games or something.


Well, here's a question: how did you find TLG and what attracted you to make a charrie here?

[Fuzzymind]

Yup. Advertising makes the world go 'round!

I don't think I found W:TLG like most people. My cousin (Rainstar) found it and told me the plot and all of the cool people around here. She said she was in line to become a Leader of a mostly empty clan and wanted me to help fill a position with her. So I lurked awhile and decided to hop in. We were pretty into Warrior Cats at the time too. Rainstar stumbled upon the site by accident. She was googling pictures of Warrior Cats randomly, and the site banner came up. She thought it looked cool so she went to the source site and ended up joining out of curiosity.

[Froststar]

I never knew that. Interesting.

That's how I found Tratto's Blessing (my first RPG). A friend of mine told me how cool it was, and I joined. Then my sister joined. When that site started to die, we had been reading the Warriors series, and she and I created this site in summer of '05. It started out just being our friends (my friends Lionstar, Pookystar, Guststar, Shadowfeather; her friends Icepaw, Ivystar, and Pinestripe), and then it just grew. We had about 80 extremely active members for at least a year. Things were good for a long time. Then they just died, and since then, the site dies and comes alive again like a vicious sun. It's been sad. Hopefully we can gain some interest again.
