Alright, I'm not sure how much longer I can keep holding off on this but it needs to be discussed with everyone and not just staff. I'm sorry to say that because of real life commitments it's becoming increasingly difficult to not just be here as an admin, but anywhere as a normal member. As of right now I don't know if I'll be able to pick up rping during the fall semester at all. That said, I find it extremely unfair to all of you that this site wait that long until an admin can return to it. I've thought very long about this and I've also decided it is unfair to simply quit on a site when some or all have still stuck around. That in of itself made me very hopeful, but as I stated previously the issue lies within my own ability to be here. Because of this I would like to hear your opinions on what we should do about the situation at hand. I cannot admin anymore, however I could still be a normal member and even mod on occasional during the spring and summer semester, otherwise I would just permemantly retire and only be a normal member. The other option I see is if you all have become bored with the site then we could simply leave, that being the end of it all. I leave the conclusion up to you all though, and I am open to any and all suggestions. We would need a modified staff team and new admin, and I would prefer to be used as an advisor on major plot changes, but it isn't a completely die hard need. I love all of you and I deeply regret this has turned out this way, but as we all know real life commitments and needs have to come before online ones.

My suggestion is to yes step down, and let someone else take care of everything, yeah you maybe mod or whatever but yeah. Reason I haven't really been posting much has been waiting on the plot, and the candidate lessons too... which of course is all up to you. If anything put someone else in charge of events/plots and let the site get rolling again.

@jovia, that is exactly what I was saying/thinking in the case that the members decide to keep the site running and want to take it upon themselves to do so.
@phantom, that's perfectly fine and I wish you the best with your Weyr. I have a feeling that you may not be the only one who has already started moving characters or looking elsewhere to rp at. I even have a few places that have been on the back-burner because I haven't had much time and I didn't want to be somewhere else when I couldn't even be here.

It's sad to hear, but I completely understand, Wish. I'd like (and plan) to stay around and possibly continue modding, but I don't want to take over adminning. I think I've learned from past experiences that I'm not that great at keeping site plots going, and as it is I haven't had much muse for RP lately, especially now that I'm in school again. Which is sad since I could actually find the time to post if I needed, I just don't have any immediate plans or inspiration until the plot gets moving again, much like Jovia said.

Oh…dear… How can I help? I cannot sit here and do nothing. I could mod, not bio-wise, but I certainly could do clutches/plots/activity help? I want to help. I can do whatever I need to. I have lurked everyday, but found nothing to reply too…. Please, let me do something… Life happens. I just want to be around to help…

FOR EVERYONE:
It is sad to hear this. Even though I have few characters on here and still fairly new, I will help in any way possible to keep the site alive. I can't mod or be an admin because my stay here isn't very long besides I wouldn't know where to start. -snickers-
I'm one of those people who says...Never say die and never give up. I understand your reason for stepping down. Might I suggest a vote. Maybe a set up a poll to see who your successor would be. Have the members nominate those who think they are worthy enough to be Admin. Something like the poll for the Rebellion Leaders? I don't know. Well, there's my opinion and idea.
I am not going anywhere. I am staying. I am no leader by all means. I can help with plots and clutch ideas and where ever else I'm needed. As a member I know I can't do the actual hatchings but I can make up some of the egg descriptions, maybe? I'm just throwing ideas out there. I'm an artist as well so that's also a factor. Let me know if any of these idea suit your needs.
I am not bored with the site, Wish. I wish I could be more active. Like Twitch said, I love the site.

In the case that there are those that wish to stay and try to get the site running again please pm me and say so as well as put two people you would like to nominate. I will then pm those that are nominated to check with them and set up a poll for people to vote on. The first and second place will be the new admins and they can deal with the rest of the staff team as they wish. I have some ideas about possible plots that I had been working on as well as any other details the new admins may need clarification on.
I will not be keeping all my characters; only Rikula, Eiko, Alyara, Jarali, Inoria, Panille, Tk'ri and K'er will be staying.

It's nice that those of you that have messages me or said something here would like to keep this site going. However, I think the best thing to do is leave the site up and give it a hiatus period until December when this semester is over for me. At that time I can reevaluate my situation and possibly come back to the site and start again with it in some shape or form. That is not a guarantee, but it is a possibility. That said, I will keep in touch with any and all of you through aim and other means if you wish. Pop in around the end of the year and see if there's anything new too. If I decide to revive the site later, with some help that I'll find within the first few weeks, then I'll send a mass e-mail to everyone saying it's returning.

That would be good for me, too. Extra time to work on my own schoolwork is always nice, and it would probably help rejuvenate my muses. Either way, I do hope it works out and the site doesn't die off completely.
