Oh look I'm back now! So Trisphites I have a question to ask all of you. When you read the title I'd assume you thought I was leaving, so what were you thinking in that short second?

I wonder who's leaving now and why. Wonder what kind of drama is going to start now..

I'm slightly anti-social so.. I probably would have posted a "It's your choice but you'll be missed!" (even though I don't really know you) because everyone wants to feel that they'll be missed, even if they won't be.

No. It's people's choices to leave or stay. If you wanted to leave then it's not my right to beg or force you to stay. In most cases, you'd just take a small or long hiatus and eventually return. Everyone does. Hell, I play a text-based MMORPG and have taken 3-4 years off of it then returned. I still take a month or two off here and there, but always return cause I enjoy it too much. Likewise for LoL, WoW, and various other games.

Sometimes people let their emotions go a little too wild on the one thing on a site that they hate most and they shouldn't. They need to think of all the good they had previous and possibly after that one wrong thing the site did. Such as, I've not been too thrilled or happy about the donation items these past few months, however, I know others have been. Just because I don't like it, I shouldn't take it out on the site. They'll eventually come out with an item that is preferred by me and others may not even like it either!

I've seen people leave because they don't like the items. They don't like the staff. They don't get their way. They've grown a bit bored with the site. It's not very active. Too busy with life. There's hundreds out there!

If that problem was with me, eventually, probably. I tend to keep to myself when I'm pissed off but give me a day or two by myself and I'll eventually return and try to work it out with you. Usually.

Private messaging, probably. Try to work it out but if I see that they're dead set on keeping the argument, I'll just walk away and let them continue steaming on it. I try to live my life without grudges. It's a very sad, depressing and lonely way to live your life if you're always holding a grudge and never forgiving.

Make a sticky or announcement post requesting users to give their opinions. Be sure to make it clear that it cannot be something that requires advanced coding, but ideas that may be able to be made in the -now-. Such as an event idea.

Unfortunately, I've been busy with my own website. Developing storylines, history and creation myths. But I'll probably give my thumbs up to the ideas others suggest that I'm in agreeance towards!
