hey everyone, holy crap.
so, we've grown a lot, way more than i expected, and honestly at a pace that i know is way faster than some of us are comfortable with.
first off, thank you very much. thank you to everyone who's been chatting, rping, bumping, helping new peeps, and just generally giving this place life. the growth from where we started is sick af and it means people are seeing something here that they actually wanna be part of, and that means a lot to me.
at the same time though, i made this server cuz i wanted a small, personal, and tight-knit rp community. I do NOTwant this to turn into one of those servers that gets so big so fast that it stops feeling like a passion project and starts feeling like a thing we have to constantly manage just to keep it from falling apart because of the sheer amount of players that are in at one time. that's not the kind of server I wanna run, and I know some of my staff members who i worked on this with since pretty much day 1 feel the same way.
so because of that, we're gonna be making a few changes for now. some of these changes will barely be felt by most of you, but i still wanna be fully transparent with everyone:
-
we need ALL OF YOU to hold off on disboard bumping for a bit. not forever, but just for now. we need time to breathe and actually focus on the people who are already here instead of continuing to grow at the same speed. i dont wanna get too exhausted here.
-
over the next week im prolly gonna remove some members who havent said a single word in the server for over a month. so yeah, you can basically consider this a small inactivity purge.
that said: DONT WORRY IF YOUVE SAID ANYTHING ONCE IN ANY CHANNEL WITHIN THE PAST MONTH. i dont care if it was a full convo, a random gif, or a period or whatever. if youve shown signs of life, you're safe.
