In all honesty, I was too stressed to reply to this topic when I first read it (back when it had just one page). I read the original post as TRR was closed, or to be closed, as a final sentencing, & was totally pissed off/heartbroken since this is my first clan/community I've been a part of.I was discussing, or brainstorming really, the things wrong with the clan in irc with a couple other members, trying to find possible ways to help encourage others to get more active and excited to be part of this community.. But as I lack experience, it was hard to think of new ideas to help out TRR. I have personally expressed my concerns to the Leader not long ago, as well as to a Council member just the other day; Neither seemed too interested; Hopefully this thread gets the job done. Without anymore flaming.*We need stability:-A core group who are available most days, or checks on TRR most days. A group that reaches out to each player online just to see what's new and if things are running smoothly. The core will be Staff, if they choose. Or just people who are always in chat.-Using both the Forums and IRC help with communication and do nothing but help the clan, as far as I can see. If we can get our core using both of these features (at least the forums) slowly we can expand the # of members using, and thus they are better informed of most things going on in TRR. Of course, that is only if our forums remain running..*We need to follow through:-With ideas, not just sweep them under the rug. Even if the idea is "old news", or it's been done in the past, pr seems lke too much work to figure out, it's better than nothing. Never shoot down ideas without supplying a reason and way to do it better.-With events. Events need to take place at the time described on the Event Topic whether the Event Team member is there or not. Anyone can run it, but it looks nice when the higher ups can take the reigns and get things rollin'. Announcing the Event in the CC on numerous occasions may prove helpful to those who only access in-game features.*We need respect. Go take a Customer Sevice job for a week, and learn how to appropriately address people with the respect they deserve. Handle situations delicately and be less abrasive. This clan is a company: it's Staff the employees, the members and future members the customers.... We gotta make them happy and want to stay, and of course without our customers, we won't last.*We need to work. All of Staff chose thier roles by hitting submit after filling out their application. If they don't want it, they shouldn't feel the need to stay in that position. But with those roles come hard work, and great rewards. As long as you can say you try your best, then no need to worry, just be honest with yourself, above all else.Events/Citadel are not mandatory, but they mean a great deal to certain members and if we can keep these going, maintaining activity, we will grow closer and have more fun.*We are awesome! Just need some more motivation. I say we give cookies to all existing members as a thanks<3I'm super bummed I can't be more involved in TRR, I'd truly hate to see it close, especially without a proper conclusion. This thread is definitely a wake up call, one that probably should have come from a Leader, probably when problems were first realized, but at least it's happening now. Lets hope it's not too late for TRR.<3TCFootnote:I'm on my iPod, sorry for any typos/ramblings, I'll re-read this in the morning n fix. Just wanted to give some input before bed.
