For the past few months, the guild has been inactive. I want you to know it disappoints me. It makes me sad. It makes me feel like a failure. So many people say this guild is such a wonderful place, but they don't know the gist of it. My birthday is coming up in 2 months, and all I really want is an active guild. If you all could give me that wish, I'd be happier.
I just want to know.. what would make you happier and more active here? I want nothing but opinions and suggestions, but don't say anything about the rules because I'm not changing them. I'm not going to add to them or take away. I just want to know. Is it the lack of parties? You'll have a Anniversary Bash in July. Is the the lack of members? There are over 1,000. Is it the lack of discussion? There are over 25 threads full of discussion. Is it the lack of RPs? There will be an official RP coming out later this year. What is it? What do you want here?
Please tell me what you want, and maybe I'll do it. I'm not going to ban any members or make anyone mods though. There is already going to be 4 new crew members picked soon. So don't bug me about that. Don't bug me about mods or rules.
I hope that I'll get over 10 responses, because there are a lot of members here.

I'd like an ice cream every time i come on here wink
how about some games / compititions / intresting threads , then again maybe people just haven't been on line oo a hall of fame
a picture thread devoted to just pictures of members it's a pitty they don'thave a lay out a bit like msn groups that's be cool
i know i have only been on here for a few days
but it is a really plesant guild
i dunno if its possible but maybe if its allowed you could activate an msn groups that links to this guild and then maybe that would be easier for people to post pics and stuff i dunno i'm rambeling seemed good in my head! but you do have a lovely guild!

neutral I'd like to be off punishment... That's the only reason I'm not more active...
I don't know... You just need to start threatenin' people with guns... That'll get 'em back. ^.^
Worked with my guilds. O.o...

Well to be honest it might just be the time of year... like, completely non-Gaia-related... I have an rp SL, and it has been slow as hell for the past month or two with the end of the school year (for both college and high school) and all that...
I dunno what to tell you about how to make it more active... there are new members showing up all the time... I've noticed more people take the polls than actually post in the topics... if everyone posted as much as they took the polls, we'd probably be much more active...

The only reason I am not so active is because I usually don't know what to say in a thread, and I don't want to just put some sort of stupid spam message so that is why I stay relitively quiet. Maybe some less angsty threads would be good though, like name a positive thing that happened to you today or...things more upbeat like that(There are some, but not a whole lot so that is why I brought it up I guess). Hope that helps.

I agree with the person that said it's most likely the time of year. People are getting out of school, getting jobs and preparing to return to school again in the fall.
I know I have been extremely inactive lately *though I've kept up with the bday thread* but my life has been busier lately and I just don't have as much time as I used to. I don't really think much if anything needs changed around here to get people back. Lives just get hectic sometimes and it's hard to keep up with everything. Something gets left on the back burner, it's inevitable.
I wouldn't fret too much. I'm sure people will be back around again soon. Give them a shade more time before potentially "throwing in the towel."

Hmm...I think we should make a thread for all members who would like to stay in the guild to post? It can stay on for like a week or 2, and everyone else is either inactive or quit gaia or something, so we can cut tham out...
How bout like...contests? Not always for like, gold, you know, "Win the love of Mistress Yukiko [sorry XD]" or "Win art by Yuki, Saka and Matus!" or just like, you know something funky like that...
Do we still have the japanese game? The one with the thingeh where you put a Jap word and the next word has to begin with the last letter of the prev.?
And the person on top game? Say something nice about the person above you...
AND corrupted wish game. Someone wishes for something and you have to corrupt it...it should have a theme though. Like we could change the theme everyweek...->
Week one- Harry Potter
"I wish for a new broom"
"Granted, but it doesn't fly. I wish for..etc"
and then week 2 we could change it to something else...->
Week two- Bleach
"I wish Ichigo was gay"
"Granted, but now Chizuru is a guy and Ichigo falls madly in love with her...him. I wish...etc."
Funky?

people to talk to would make me stay. i am always here and in your questions and sugestions thread i post when i am on and stuff like that. i feel like i am the only one in the guil but i cannot post on my lonesome thats just seems spamish.
*edit*
btw i have an a friendslist that had 140+ and i'm sure 110-120 of them are from this guild. i can keep a writen record of who is on and when they are on and stuff. i know for sure i see 22 of them on at a time most times and none are ever talking in this guild ((sorry if you don't understand what i just typed))

school has been getting harder for me, more HW and such.... and i've been going in the official gaia threads more often.. also, having a guild of my own has been kind of a factor
i have to say that i don't know what else i'd like here ^ ^ it seems great the way it is... and i shall be coming more often soon <3 and my guild is getting easier to keep together, now that i know how ^ ^ so it's all good
