For many years now, this site has had no major updates, why?
Zeo constantly talks about how he should be in charge, because he can do a better job... but I'm waiting and waiting for these updates, and not seeing any major updates.
The way you bashed Rowan (I bashed him to for progress, I will admit this) on how this site should be yours(Zeo). I would think that would of motivated you a lot more to put a lot more love and passion into this website.
I'm not even going to blame the money issue... just the lack of communication here. Feels like Zeo is so emotionally down atm, that he doesn't even want to post new updates, a new timeline on what his new site goals are, or even conversation starters.
If you want this site to truly strive, then you need to lead it Zeo. This site fell as Jimmy ignored it, then fell again as Rowan ignored it... and now Zeo is ignoring it.
A lot of the staff also blamed each other as well.
To grow a community, you must lead it. You also have to find other respectable/likable members to help you.
I was contacted to join here by a staff member from back then (I'm not 100% sure, but I think the name was strider). I liked the staff at the time.. they were encouraging.
When/if this site becomes active.. if there's a major issue, people are going to count on you Zeo to fix it in a timely fashion. Other smaller issues will need to be solved by staff members... and if the members don't like the staff, they won't stick around.
Another reason why I left AGN fourms is because one of the staff members felt angry and was too ban happy, I felt scared.
It was the main reason why I shared an account when I first joined here(I got scared of being banned on AGN as well, also new to the internet).. I was scared that the staff would also be mean if they found out we shared an account.
Anyways if you really want this site to have members, money or no money.. you got to connect/contact to the people out there, you got to talk to people at the very least.
You don't need money to get people to want to visit, they just have to like you enough to want to visit.
