Something needs to be done...

[Benry]

alright guys i know i'm not an admin or a mod but as an old member of this site i think i have the right to talk about this situation. Ronnie and Kbell have not shown themselves for too long and they are the only admins. The situation is critical, more than it ever was before. The only project running is that of Dane and the site is slowly dieing. However I dont want that too happen and i'm sure all of the other members agree. Now i dont know if defectron has the password to the gantz account and i really hope he does. Please post here and suggest ideas. In the worst case scenario (if ronnie and kbell dont come back) we could open up a new forum, i think defectron has created a backup forum, there we could choose new mods and with some advertising we could probably gain more members... i reallly dont want this to happen but i also dont want leave this place and its members.

Well those were my two cents, tell me what u think.

I'll become the new Ronnie.

[Benry]

xeno i'm serious here.

[Defectron]

Unnfortunately , no I don't have the password for it.

Back during the whole april fools incident I actually did try to make a back door into the account by putting in a fake email that I had control over. Ronnie had previously done this as well as a failsafe in case a rogue element like myself got into the mix before the joke went down but he hadn't counted on me having the same idea which was why the joke failed in the end.

However after that was said and done Kbell and Tjad had wised up a bit from that incident and changed both the password and the email address. At the time the person in charge was Kbell, so most likely it was one of his email addresses. I don't believe kbell ever trusted any of the other admins enough to give them access tot he gantz account after that. Neither Tjad nor myself had access tot he password during that period.. I believe he's the only one who has access to it at the moment though I suppose I could be wrong. For all I know he did give someone else access to it after my time as admin was over. But all we can really do about that is speculate.

Kbell hasnt been on the forums for awhile, my suggestion is we try to contact him through AIM or something. This is his AIM name Joker of Plague

I also might still have his email address in my mailbox, I'll have to check.

Well this just plain sucks, I only just joined less than half a year ago, and I was so loving all the different stories here, but if Kbell and Ronnie aren't going to do what they promised to do as admins of this site, I still want to play this RP, and with you guys as well. If we move to a new site, I'm there for you to do whatever you need.

[Defectron]

I did make a back up board in case we needed to move, but moving stuff over there would be a pain in the ass. Unless you just want to do a completely clean slate. Well I'll let you guys decide what you want to do.

[XenoD]

I can't contact anyone using MSN, since I don't have it. I say we give them till the 10th of May, if they're not back by then I say we just move on. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but this is just unacceptable. Unless Ronnie is injured or having family problems, I just don't see any good reason he could have for not showing up.

I don't know what sort of advice I can give (there was this topic that talked about how you can revive a dead forum, but it's directed mainly at admins, so... yeah...), but I do like Def's suggestion. Get in touch with Ronnie or KB, ask them what's taking so long, we're waiting on the updates and starting to get a little impatient. I think that should be done first if anything, so that if they do return they don't come to some giant empty forum that's been completely abandoned.

I don't blame them though for not updating, really, since this is the end of the school year which happens to be one of the bitchiest times of the year for students (which if memory serves both of them are school students). Hence, my only real suggestion (which admittedly I'm slowly starting to wear thin of) is the possibility of just waiting it out. May 10th appears to be a reasonable time, since most schools are about to end at that time.

Sure, it is annoying that neither have updated in over two weeks without saying anything since their last arrival, but sometimes stuff happens, and not much can be done about that. There are other RPs that can be looked at if need be, and just simple gaming isn't bad... I do it all the time with Touhou. Hella hard, but hella fun.

'Sides, I kind of doubt that either KB nor Ronnie would just suddenly leave us to dry up and die. Could just be me being optimistic, but I've got a feeling they'll return... probably by the end of the school year, at the latest provided they don't go on vacation without internet access or have a crappy summer school. >.>

Er, yeah... summarizing that I think we should contact them and wait a bit (Putting Def's and Xeno's ideas together), but beyond that... whatever you guys decide to do. Being that I have also been responsible for not updating without any apparent good reason in the past, I don't feel I should have too much of a say on what should be done.
Not sure about Ronnie, but I can try and get in touch with KB's YIM, provided he uses it frequently. I have Windows Live, which while it's mainly for MSN, I can also bug people on YIM if need be... I've got like 5 people on YIM that I talk to through Windows Live.

[Defectron]

You guys won't find the name I posted there on msn because that's Kbells AIM name.

[Defectron]

Just to let you all know I'm going to be gone may 7-10, so if you want o find me for help witht he move, I won't be back until sometime on the 10th.

[Hikawa]

Well sorry to jump into things but if you guys are dying. I have a site you can check out. gantzplayers.proboards.com/index.cgi could use some good discussion like the kind you have here. Just a thought. Don't shoot me for jumping at the chance to make my site better with good Gantz peaple.

[Defectron]

oh well so much for doing something about this....
