First off, I love the idea of this guild, it's been done in the past and I want it to
be a thing for a long time to come.

However, this recent incident was... not handled well. I know that now you know
that what happened was wrong ( sorry, but the post was spam, as good as your
intentions were ) and the fallout after the post was made was handled even
less eloquently.

I'm going to stay so I'm not posting here as a 'threat of leaving' or anything like
that, but please remember that this looks bad not only on you, but on everyone
who's joined too. Please keep in mind that you've got our reputations in hand
too.

I understand as well. Things were not handled well at all and instead of hiding it from everyone as could easily be done, I wanted everyone to see that yes we are human we make mistakes. I'm sure only a few people were aware of what was happening when it happened and I could have easily had it all deleted and shoved to the side and never mentioned, but I decided to say hey look at this I messed up and I admit it.

I am trying to be better about things and I will try to represent everyone here with the best of intentions. I like the things each and everyone has presented here on the guild. Your master reference post is amazing. The shops that posted here are amazing. Hopefully in the future I can be amazing as well.

I can't say much more then I'm sorry. I tried to apologize, and if you could see my pm inbox, boy I think I have about 5+ series of pm's between people with just apology as the title.

But that was a month back now, I'm hoping that now tempers have had time to cool we can try to start again. I will never be able to un-do the damage I've done. But I hope to move forward and try to redeem myself for my less then noble actions, no matter if my intent was sincere, it will not excuse my actions. So now I will begin the process of building the guild from the inside. I hope to be able to make this guild a place people want to be and will hopefully check up on frequently for activity.

So let me pose a question that hopefully we can brainstorm to find some answers to:
How do we help the guild grow and expand it's reputation as a positive influence on the B/C? Also, What are some things we add to the guild which would make people more active or would be helpful?

For me personally I've been thinking of putting up guides, tutorials and references in the sub-forum for the growing artists in the B/C. I also been thinking about Breedable Broadcast Events and what that would mean or what it would be?
What kind of event could we offer which would interest people? Do we have pets to hand out? Should we make some, or do we offer straight up gold from the guild bank or items donated to the mule for events? Maybe both?
I know I wouldn't mind making a few custom pet images for an event.

What do you guys think?

If you would have said something around the same week I posted this I would
have been able to help, but this thread has been dead for quite some time. I
had honestly debated on not replying at all.

If you're asking my opinion from a more 'professional' stand point? If you haven't
already done it I would say that a written apology sent to the " same 3 or 4
people who felt wronged" would be in order, followed by a small close down
for a bit of an event to be planed and a good deal of re-branding and a thought
out promotional idea.

As good of an idea as this both was and is, it feels sort of slap dashed up with
little thought put into how to keep it running and alive.

It's an understandable position to take. Thank you for your honesty. I left gaia for a time to try and allow people to calm down, including myself. Since it would only inflame things further with my presence. I didn't see this post until I returned.

Perhaps things would be easier for everyone if I resigned myself from the Breedable Broadcast. If nothing else then you can say it wasn't the feelings of the whole, since it wasn't and the person who made the offenses has since been removed from all activity with the guild. Problem solved, I'm sure everyone would be better off. I meant only to help but do so in a foolish manner and should be justly punished.

Dashed together seems harsh to me, but I know so little. I've been talking with Jess about ideas for event s to gain interest. She does an amazing job at organizing such things. I'm sure you all will be just fine.

Leaving the Guild wouldn't help any, honestly if this is something you like, I
encourage you to stay, even after everything that's happened.

If there's one thing that people often times respect it's when you try to make up
for what happened in the past. Don't run from it, show people that you've learned
from it and that you're growing in a positive way.

I say dashed together because that's how it seems to me, but I've been on
Gaia for ages. I've ran BC shops for ages, and currently still do. I'm likely just
more on the experienced side. There's no better way to learn than by doing so
don't take criticism and critique without a grain of sugar in this case.

It's not something to run from, it's a tool to use to better yourself.
