I like that you put me first. <3
Most of us don't really RP any more though. We should put the website out there more in the public eye. We don't advertise.

The change starts with you, bruh. Honestly, repeatedly bein' negative about it makes it worse. We're actually seeming to be on quite the upswing, although you wouldn't know it if all we talk about is how bad things are?
Anyways, if you got concrete plans, more power to you, and I'll get on it immediately. But 'till then, why you gotta be acting like we're some kind of dying ship?
In execuspeak.
Don't you worry about the blank, you let me worry about the blank.

A kick in the ass as motivation to RP would help.

Heh, I'm just saying it how I see it. I can put us up on some websites I've found and stuff if you like, there are a few RPG directories that get a fair amount of traffic and there is nothing like the Wastes on any of the ones I've perused.

I've moved the offtopic posts from Zilart to the proper thread for forum restoration discussions. Please keep discussions of forum activity here and not in the writing & art threads.

Fine MBP, be like that.
Anyway, we have enough members to keep it going if we all actually contribute.
