So... About that Turnover... - Alexander Trafford - 08-11-2007
Krillin, as much as you say it's already been said, it really doesn't matter at all. Jackie is right. A Date for Turnover was set a long time ago, alot of people left, then the date passed and we realized no one knew when it would happen, or if it would happen at all. To quote Jon Stewart, This whole turnover thing is one giant "exploding clusterfuck", combine that with the site change (while alot of members weren't around, waiting for turnover), and you have a dying site- with absolutely no sign of recovery.

You must be Tapion...You can't be anyone else
.And I'm gonna say it, the announcement was supposed to be a joke, kinda. We were only a little serious, and the date was a joke too. We weren't actually trying for April 1st.
The site is in bad shape right now, but it takes EVERYONE (that means members too) to make a site work. So everyone needs to stop qqing and get into the IC forums and RPing.
Honestly, part of me thinks we should just take away the OOC accounts, it's being abused.
And yes, I know I need to RP too, I'm well aware of it, but at least I'm not sitting around complaining about this and that. Turnover or not, people should RP, it's what you're HERE for.

Don't take away OOC accounts. >_< The people that don't roleplay anymore were avid roleplayers for years at a time, and have become a part of the family. The people that just decided to wait to Turnover were being lame; some of us (like me) weren't feeling RPing at all anymore, and were hoping to get a 'fresh start' with the come of the Turnover.

Its pretty funny how you sound exactly like all the doom-sayers back in the day. It was mostly Koola and Kami at the time, but they were saying the same thing.
Know what happened? I'll letcha know, since I don't think you were around for that. We ended up a bigger, stronger RPG.
And, to quote George Eliot, "history repeats itself."
The point is you guys just do what you're here to do and we'll take care of the rest.

To be honest, I belived for a long time that the Turnover was a huge joke, given that the starting date given was exactly on April Fools and that the whole idea behind the Turnover went against everything Staff used to stand for (such as fiercily opposing custom characters). Only later I was convinced that Staff was actually planning a Turnover.
I completely agree that members must participate in keeping the RPG active. And up until the announced Turnover, the Chubbs community has been preety much active and vibrant. But since then, things have been deteriorating DESPITE several Staff mentions that the Turnover might not actually happen. That is why I suggested an announcement in the first place, to make it clear to all members that it`s still questionable if the Turnover will actually happen.
And I know I`m not a very active person. But I did roleplay in Red Ribbon Advance and I have signed up for the League.
Don`t get me wrong. I`m merely a worried member who is pointing out the issue and making a suggestion to solve it. Wether Staff does make a public announcement explaining the situation is completely up to Staff. However, I would request that Staff considers it. Even in a worst case scenario, a public announcement explaining that the Turnover is not a sure thing won`t hurt anyone. But in the best case scenario, it will make it clear to all members that the Turnover might not happen. So instead of moving things already from the house, they would start returning things back into it beacuse they`re not even sure the moving truck will come. And lastly, a public announcement doesn`t take much work. Just a few well written sentences and a few clicks. And given that Staff is filled with excellent roleplayers, I`m sure words don`t represent a problem to them.

I'd love to be more active, but I can't when I'm involved in a staff run tournament that hasn't started after more than four days when it was supposed to. I come on every day hoping someone has taken the reins and started it, but every day, I'm disappointed.

The irony, Aussie man, is just sickening.

The fact that this thread is still going is many levels of fail and lose.
*Also, I checked your Armory, and your arena score as well as greens leads me to believe that you don't know what you're talking about. l2p

Turnover: Probably gonna happen eventually but not in the immediate future.
As for the future of the RPG itself, like Rad said, this has happened before and we'll continue to grow after this slump.

I think that the tranferrring of forums has also contributed to inactivity. Not a lot, but ever so slightly.

I would say that the forum changes just picked off those people who were barely hanging on.

God, this whole topic cracks me up. I wanted to quote this accurately but I'm gunna have to ball park it, "Some times the smartest people are the biggest dumb asses." There are so many brilliant people on this site that I respect and like and somehow, a staff of like 5-10 people are unable to manifest a turnover that's been over half a year in the making... it just blows my mind.
I will say, however, that I respect staff's choice to do the training manually. It's just a bandaid fix for now, I know... but at least it recognizes some level of respect for the gaming aspect of this RPG.

You make it sound like they punch into the clock at 8 and go home at five with nothing done. These are still highschoolers and college kids doing silly dbz shit in their free time.
Also I think I will rejoin. I mean, I knew the turnover was a while in the making it was nothing like that that stopped me, but I might just have my muse back.
