I have been try-harding my welcoming game. If someone joins, I want them to feel welcomed, so I work hard on that! Even if they don't stay, everyone deserves a nice, warm and happy welcome. ^-^

Love this. I've been trying the same in my server. I think it's the little things that can go a long way especially when joining a community where you feel like you don't know many people.

I also would wonder what is the reason that people leave or just lose interest. I can't blame them from doing so, but I think if there was an 'exit survey' option it would be so dang helpful.

The opposite is also true though, the why did you join and what made you stay is just as equally important. Getting members is hard Q.Q


i mean. i've not been on either of your sites but.

for me, the biggest make-or-break for a site i've already joined is, well, whether or not i get a plot i'm invested in. if i have a plot that i really like and am excited to play out, i typically tend to stay on a site (barring if there's suddenly bad staff / a problem member). if i run out of that "new site steam" and i don't have a plot i care enough for to stay, i tend to leave.

it's nothing personal, i just. have been in way too many situations where i stuck around on sites i wasn't invested in because i was holding out hope for xyz want ad to get taken but it never was and i was just wasting time i could have spent on sites that were giving me what i wanted so. yeah. life's too short to wait around forever for something that isn't sparking joy.

Here to sound blunt again. A lot of people don't want to put in any effort to get plots going, they make a character and expect that they will be showered in threads without visiting plotting channels.

Or they do visit the plotting channel and then they say yes to a plot they aren't interested in by someone on the welcome wagon because they are just excited to get started. Once the honeymoon period ends they bounce.

I find it so frustrating especially on a launch, I'll probably just stick to modding on established sites.

I would pay so much money for a skin/site that has a pixel art aesthetic. I'm not even joking. I feel like pixel art is such an underused aesthetic in the rp community.
i remember a site that had that game Tiny Tower for its concept? it was cute, super cool with an interesting concept(adventuring and all that) but it never got far. 10/10 would want to join it again ;;

I hate being a rude staff member but when an individual keeps asking for favors in terms of grading or constantly asking about rules even though they’re readily available and easy to digest. I just kind of stop doing stuff for them. More a tough love kind of deal. Like go read up on the community’s systems and wait your turn like everyone else

I wouldn't really say that's rude, tbh. It's more rude (and lazy) that the member keeps doing that. Staff are there to help keep the site running/updated, not be the personal secretary or butler of each and every member on the site.

I have a bad habit of starting to make a site because the idea sounds cool but falling through before seeing it finished 😔. It’s just the idea of a site of a certain thing sounds awesome and as I’m building them I really have fun. Maybe I need to get back into adderall lol

A a big FU to the Percy Jackson franchise that made ADHD seem cool and life saving. All it does it make you act like the dog from Up! 😭
