Ahh where to start.. There are so many problems with this site its impossible to write them all. This site never used to be good in all honesty, but compared to now it was awesome several months ago. But it can't go back to how it was, it surely can't get better. Because Jemma's left and Darren doesn't seem to be alive, so who is the experienced admin in the admin team? Sorry, but it seems to me that Jemma and Darren were running the site, without them, not exactly sure what will happen to PA.
But if the other admins are willing to work to improve PA, good for them. I don't want to see this site go inactive after all. But they need to adress the issues. Which are:
An Incompetent admin team - no offense but of 5 admins it seems only 2 are active every day. It takes a long time for applications to be solved and members are usually ignored. PROOF: This thread. Khaat is the only consistently active admin and she is the newest admin and has no experience. The admins keep promising an update which never comes. Our thread at RP-D is on the last page, which shows how good are advertising is. The members aren't listened to, some threads at claims are ignored, the spell list isnt finished. I could go on and on.. Most importantly though, none of the admins are willing to make a large change in the site. Because admittedly, the site never had much potential. It as an ordinary (but confusing) plot, no organization, no advertising... Frankly it was extremely lucky to get 250,000 posts and run for 3 years.
Lack of Organization - Everything is very scattered. New members would be VERY confused. Grads have nothing to do and Students also.. have nothing to do, cause classes suck and are nonexistant now cause everyone wants to make grads. Focus on one of them, because our site isn't big enough to support classes, grad jobs, and all that.
Lack of members - Nothing can happen with 10 active members. Advertising might help.
Lack of quality roleplaying - Now that Amelia and Jemma have left, the level of roleplaying is bad as well. The worst thing is that the people who post one liners are not willing to change to post larger posts. In the space of a month the site is now dominated by one liner posters. So why would people who post larger posts join? I thought we had a 3 line post minimum. I suggest increasing that to get the one liner posters out of the site. It might make us less active but it would surely help to increase the quality of roleplaying.
Plot - How bout changing it COMPLETELY? Like.. pretend everything never happened. Cause the plot sucks. Also, how bout running the plot right next time, because no one ever gets the plot forwards and the admins suck at organizing events that do that (Battle of Ministry, Student Kidnapping.. could go on.)
Im not being defeatist or having a go at the admins. I'm just saying something has to be done about PA fast.
