I'm sure I've posted about why we discontinued the old story elsewhere, but it was quite a while ago from what I remember. It had a lot of significant, really unworkable, issues that eventually led to us just abandoning it. At the core was that it was originally conceived (long before I came around) as a roleplay between staff members with no sense of cohesion or standard of writing ability holding it up.

Having inherited a disaster of cliches and plotholes, I spent several years trying to beat something resembling a metaplot out of this pile of shallow self-inserts, wish-fulfillment archetypes, and meme characters, but my efforts at making them into multi-dimensional individuals worth reading about were largely met with disappointment. I can only presume nostalgia and personal affinity to the former staff members who inserted themselves into the site plot was to blame.

On the subject on taking on new writers, though, a problem almost as large as the one I just mentioned back then was that, despite having a fairly large team of "writers", I would inevitably end up having to completely rewrite their scene submissions, which was really just a waste of everyone involved's time. So, any new writers need to be able to produce a level of quality where that won't be necessary.

Also, Glitch, you already know my opinion on Turkleton. :|
