Ebania Hi there, Dee! Thanks for speaking up; glad to have you here!
Yeah, running guilds can be tough. I would know. I've noticed an overall lull in participation over the past few months -- I attribute it to the academic year, I guess, and I wonder if it's a site-wide phenomenon, or one unique to guilds, or one unique to the NSTG. I think the hardest part is convincing newbies to stay on Gaia, let alone in the guild, so many of our regulars are extra-generous veterans who are always willing to lend a hand.
We're always looking for guilds to affiliate with and to host Towns parties in conjunction with; if this interests you, feel free to PM me at any time!
I did try the affiliates thing once, but it didn't work out that great at the time. I had thought about doing that again, but if I am going to, I am going to need to figure out what it is that is going to make the guilds that I have unique. The members would probably look at my guilds and run thinking that its too much of a mess, but what I need is someone to help me clean them up.

Auriga La Shock empress dee Auriga La Shock Ohh I take it you really like RPs? I haven't joined one in ages Yes, I really do like RPs, but I have limitations when it comes to it. The one liners rp is a good type to join if you're a beginner. I also really like Pokemon lately, so by posting progress is one other thing I really like doing. I've actually never played a Pokemon game before xD
Well, the first thing you need to know about them, besides what the professors in the games will tell you is that in most games you are going to need to collect 8 badges. If you are playing the most recent 4 games, you are collecting z crystals and you are completing trials.
The games have two main goals:
1. Complete the pokedex - a tough task to do, but its the easiest to make progress with.
2. Collect badges/ z crystals - for the most part this helps you complete the story mode of the game.
One game that is different from these is Pokemon Go where its just a Pokemon safari. You are to find pokemon stops in the real world by actually going outside and looking for them and collecting the pokemon that pop up by tossing pokeballs at them. When your bag gets full toss the useless items and when your pokemon section gets full, send the weakest pokemon to the professor.

sdrawkcab empress dee Thanks. And yeah, I noticed a decrease in activity in most guilds. I am glad I am just one member who likes posting in guilds. I started out in guilds... so I tend to stick to them. XD That's good that you have a plan for the rebuild. What has been most popular about your guilds that the members liked? I think that sounds like a good place to focus on. And the pokemon threads.. what has made those the most popular? Are you sure that you want to keep all of them running at one time? Like, maybe focus on rebuilding one guild at a time. .... That was kind of the downfall of my second guild. I had an active thread so I made a guild that all the users could post in. It spread it out too thin... not everyone checked both the guild and the thread for posts... so it made conversations in both places fizzle out. (But I was also guilty of not checking both places daily either, due to lack of time.) I know that's not exactly the same situation that you have... but I'd think it'd be easier to focus your attention on one guild (at first) and bring a bustling community back... than by spreading yourself thin, trying to get users interested in many guilds. When XD; it can be difficult to get people posting in just one guild.
I plan to clean up my guilds first no matter what and have a place for the dead threads. But then, I plan on focusing only on the Renaissance Galaxy guild to start.
The thing is... subforums cost so much now and I don't have that kind of gold yet. So, I think there has been some improvements with how guilds are made, but it makes them tougher to build.
I guess my priority should be build up the guild bank until I have enough gold to build that one subforum I need.

empress dee I've begun doing a guild clean up of the Renaissance Galaxy guild. Check your guilds list and if you are in that guild, please either PM me and tell me what you liked about the guild, what you want to see improved in the guild, and how your Christmas went or preferrably post somewhere in the guild so that I can say that you are still interested. I have PMed Gothloli-chan, linda50, and Caim Lionheart to reply to me by next saturday. If any of these three don't reply to me by then, they will be removed from my guild due to inactivity. It is understandable how life gets in the way, but to not hear from anyone save for one person in like years, it means that something has got to change. Keeping Our Village clean has been a goal of mine from the time I changed its name to Our Village. If there's any way I can help you with your guild, let me know. Deleting or moving threads is easy, especially when many hands make light work. wink

That would be awesome, but remember you are one of the members of my guild and you gotta start posting in it too. What I want to do first is create a subforum where all the inactive threads go. But it is so expensive for a subforum.

Sweet. Yeah~ it definitely sounds like you've got the right plans. I'd love to help, but XD; I've been neglecting my own threads due to lack of time. <.<; So if/when I find spare time, I need to get back to them.
Edit; I wondered what you were talking about. Okay so XD; Guilds are definitely glitched right now. Subforums cost 25 million gold or 2 platinum If you have that in your guild bank account, it will work.
And... to donate, donate in platinum. Donating in gold was awful, cuz it only accepts 999,999 gold at a time. x ----x; So my first test was in gold... and I donated that 25 times to get enough in the account. XDDD But I tried platinum afterward... and easily donated 100 platinum (1 billion gold). And when I had enough money in the account, I didn't get that horrible broken warning about needing a s**t ton of platinum. x ---x

Yeah, the sucky thing is it has to be in gold for now. But thanks for the tip.
