Ahem...
Isn't the answer here obvious? There is one simple solution that solves almost all of these problems. Like most things in life, you can just throw money at it.
Simply put, turn chubbs into a business. Why is World of Warcraft so flippin awesome? Because it cost money upfront and every month to play. Duh.
How awesome would CA be if it was based on quality not quantity? Because you could easily afford a staff to judge the roleplays. Chubbs staff would be alot different if chubbs put food on their table.
Not just that, but you could do random events. Imagine if staff popped in your thread and caused a random event to take place in your thread. Something unique to your story because the staff member had no problem reading you story afterall thats what hes paid for.
Im serious here, people pay for quality and I think theres alot of potential for an inovative and interactive quality game here if you turn chubbs from a hobbie to a business.
Require membership fees (what you charge is up to you, but at $30, which is the most you could get away with, you could make $3000 a month with just 100 players.
Enrollment fees- Seriously, make enrollment special and you can charge for it. Lets say you hire an anime artist and everytime I make a character i get unique artwork of my character off my description.
Send out a physical welcome aboard package to all new members, cost a few bucks, buts its personal, builds a relationship and we're charging them now so who cares.
Create a logo- brand recognigtion which helps for merchandise (clothing, retail ext) add a shop page for ecommerce purchasing and dont think this is selling out. Ive been a chubbs fan for years and would have killed for a chubbs shirt!
And most importantly actually market chubbs! If you start charging you can take that money and advertise chubbs. Seriouly guys, im not kidding. We are in the entertainment industry... how much do movies make? How much do music albums make? How much money does the gaming industry make? Wait, isnt chubbs a game? Name a game you love and ill show you the money it cost to get that game to you.
Well we all love chubbs, how much would you pay, whats it worth to? Now, how much better would the game quality be if people wete paid to improve the experience for you the player?
I have so much more on this subject and I feel that chubbs has achieved all the success it can as a hobby and until it makes the jump to a game/service/business it just cant grow.
