[Coda]

Ads:

If we do run ads I'd prefer to go with something really well-targeted. Despite working for AdSense I'm not certain that AdSense would be ideal -- but I'm also not sure I'd want, say, Project Wonderful either. (Though I'd prefer Project Wonderful over most alternatives!) Personally I was leaning towards selling ad slots to users (maybe even for runes) and backfilling to something else like Project Wonderful when there's not enough inventory to avoid showing the same ad too many times. (I'm going to have to ask Toho to write the code for this, though, since it'd be contractually iffy for me to work on it myself.)

Roleplaying:

RP is a big deal on Trisphee and always has been. We can't run RP events like the first Taskal War anymore because those simply aren't manageable at scale, but I want to know -- what would make RP better for you guys, as users?

Reinventing Trisphee:

I don't think we can get away with this. We just got a big influx of users who came here because their old site tried to reinvent itself. We're better off improving what we have and adding new things.

Meta-discussion:

I've not taken anything in this thread as flaming. I see passionate users wanting the best for the site, and I'm thankful for that.

We've actually been working on stuff in the background even before anyone said anything. :P So it's not like we weren't trying and the thread kicked us into action. The thread just made us say something publicly.
