I'm pretty sure the smaller avi sites tend to do that which creates staff Cliques.

Hehe, yeah one of my friends was on staff and she was too ADD to actually get more then a few items pixeled. Thats the sort of thing I would never hire. I love the girl to bits too but damn xD she was so loopy. I just personally hate having money issues between my friends and I. Money always makes things ten times worse and realistically thinking about it only one of my friends I am okay with sharing money with because we both keep each other in check and can manage.

u.u For the most part, I think Tris has a different story. Because its older users that can not live with out having a life they tend to have things that get in the way, such as being employed. And there are no back up plans for when this happens to a staffer, like we don't really have a training program in place for pixelist in case one drops out, nor do we have writers and coders who are on the up and up. Where as Ernya probably has a slue of people through their monthly contest where if they are good enough they can possibly approach as a new pixelist.

I have to be honest, I was on manahaven when something like this happened. Rather then trying to fix the battle system or fix the glitches on the threads, find more artist to make items and sprites the owner just kinda said yeah, this site has already eaten up a lot of my money so Imma just stop it. It didn't make it past Beta. It really bummed me out. I mean Zomg wasn't coded in a day and I am sure if the owner spent time with the glitches and his development team it could have worked.

xD Random side note but I was a Gambino/Edward girl <3
