... a BRC v4.
I mentioned it on the C-Box, but we need to discuss it properly... obviously, it's Shade's decision, but I think it's an important thing to talk about.
First off, I don't think any of us really want a v4... but it might have to be done. School, personal life and just plain stress have kept us all away from BRC to the point that it's dying. A v4 would give us a fresh start, and it would especially help those like me, who've (stupidly) bogged ourselves down with characters that we just can't keep up with. It'll be a fresh start, no?
Secondly, new auditions could be held without upsetting the members who have high positions but are inactive. Not all would be replaced, obviously, but it would help. New, active members would take their places - not to mention that a newer site would attract more members. Then again, there's a lot of trouble that goes into a new site - copypasting bios and updating affiliates, namely.
So... I don't want to undermine any authority here, but post in this thread with any regards / worries / protests to a BRC v4. That way we'll have a clean record of it where anyone can vote for or against it.

I agree that we should have a character clean-out to get rid of old characters that are unused and unwanted. BUT- I'm clinging to v3. There's a lot of history here for me, and I don't just want to pack up and leave. Making a v4 is a lot of work and copypasting =/
This may seem like just another procrastination, but maybe we should wait until the summer to decide. After all, it is exams/sumamtives time, and people are super busy.

I think we do need to make a v4, but I also agree with Brindle - I think we should wait a while. |

I think that it is a good idea to make a v4, because I know we've tried to get people to come, but I think the fact that there aren't really many threads active, it just doesn't look appealing anymore. As much as I love this old site, I think that it is a good idea. This is around the time (that the site looked like) that we would move on to a new one.

A good cleaning is all we need. 3 sites Ive known to move. Two died and one lived. The Warrior RP times are just going through some roughness, after high positions need refilling just have an advertising contest where you mention.
'alive for ___ years'
'needs to fill high positions'
'new plot just started'
and other things like that. The hassle can be put off till the end of summer.
Im Neutral though, I wouldnt leave the site because v4 moving-time but please dont change any format.

:/ You're right, I really should have put a neutral option.
I like the idea of a character clean-out (because, again, I need it badly. x____x) I was thinking we could have a big thread where people could dump unwanted characters and maybe some other members could pick up the cats if they want to so that we're not just spontaneously killing off all those cats.
Actually, I have no idea how a cleanout works. ^^'' that's just how I pictured it.

A v4 might be good.
I need to get my activity back up this summer, so this would be a goodd thing for me, at least.
I have a bunch of characters that I should get rid of.
I just don't have muse for any of them anymore.
and most of my bios [prophecyteller, cyanfeather, gracewhisper] all need to be updated, so i'm all for a v4 and getting everything back on track.
I also apologize for not being on.
My school was giving me a hard time and I've been focusing on my horses =/

I think what I'll do is make a thread where everyone can post cats they want to drop. If they're solitary warriors, no family ties, then they can be killed. But if you don't want to kill them, or they are a newborn kit, then I'll put them on a list which will go up for adoption.
We'd have a new skin (we need one anyway for the new season) but other than that, the layout will stay the same. And yes, it will give people a chance to update their bio's, but if they don't need to, then it's just a case of copying and pasting. ^^ |

Yeah, and at v4 if a member doesnt join in like one month, their charrys get adopted out/killed off. Theres only a hand full of cats in each Clan that get RPed.

The issue is motivation, to be honest .___. I agree with what Fireh said.
I'll help if called for but I can't seem to scrounge up a post unless I force myself to do it, and that's not fun at all.
What I just said seemed entirely unrelated but anyway, whatever happens, I support it. If we make a v4, then I'll help make boards. If we clean up here, then so be it.

I'm all for whatever happens even if it's making a v4
I think it's a good idea though to have a clean-out
and with that we'd have to have everyone on major advertising duty to get some members in here instead of just have Aurrie do it
whatever Shadeh decides I'm all support and I'll try to be more active like in the past ^^

YES.
GIANT CHARACTER CLEANOUT <33
gahh, that would be so helpful c:
but if it is a motivational problem, then how would v4 help? it would just seem like maybe a noob site, with 5-10 inactive members. at least here we can rest on our laurels and seemed accomplished, even if dead =/ |

Honestly, not everybody wont join a new site. It wouldnt be as intimidating, and dead sites dont look good. New ones make peeps more confidant like, 'hey we're all equal, I have just as much a chance to nail this position, or blah blah blah, as this person.' v4 is coming, if we do it now, it wont be 'noob' for long.
